Ingredients

  • 200 g fresh spinach, washed and trimmed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 30 g grated Cheddar or Gruyere cheese

Instructions

  1. Wash and thoroughly dry the spinach. Trim any long or tough stems.
  2. Crack the eggs into a bowl, add salt and black pepper, and beat until slightly foamy.
  3. Heat a small frying pan over medium heat. Add the spinach to the dry pan with a pinch of salt and nutmeg. Toss for 1–2 minutes until wilted. Transfer to a bowl and wipe the pan clean.
  4. Return the pan to the heat and add butter. Allow it to melt and foam without browning.
  5. Pour in the beaten eggs. As they begin to set around the edges, gently push cooked portions toward the center while tilting the pan to let uncooked egg flow underneath. Lower the heat.
  6. Spread the wilted spinach evenly over one half of the omelette. Sprinkle the grated cheese on top.
  7. When the surface is mostly set but still slightly soft in the center, fold the omelette in half using a spatula. Cook a few more seconds, flipping briefly if desired for a firmer finish.
  8. Slide onto a warm plate and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Beat the eggs thoroughly to incorporate air for a fluffier texture.
  • Use a small non-stick pan (about 20 cm) for best shape and thickness.
  • Squeeze excess moisture from spinach if using frozen.
  • Cook over moderate heat to prevent browning or rubbery eggs.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
  • Reheat gently on low heat to avoid overcooking.
