Veggie Omelette

Here's a simple omelette that is both filling and healthy.


Veggie omelette with Feta cheese




Ingredients:

2 cups fresh spinach
1/2 large tomato or 1 small one
1/4 onion
2 cloves garlic
2 tbs butter
2-3 large eggs
Milk
Your favorite cheese

Prep your veggies. Dice the onions, garlic and tomatoes.

Bring your non-stick skillet to medium-high heat and melt the butter. Throw in your garlic and onions and cook until onions are translucent.

Throw in the spinach and tomatoes and cook until spinach is wilted.

While that is going on, beat the eggs in a bowl. Add a dash of milk for a fluffier result, but it's not necessary.

Once the veggies are done, put them on a plate and set aside.

Now, melt the other tbs of butter. Pour in the eggs and have it sit there until bottom is firm. Push the outside parts of the egg to the middle and have the uncooked liquid flow over to the empty part of the pan. Make sure you push in all sides evenly so that you don't overcook your eggs. Keep doing this until the egg isn't runny anymore, but make sure you don't overcook it either. Don't flip the egg! This is an omelette!

Add your favorite cheese directly onto the egg. Now, get your veggies and add it right onto the middle of the egg. At this point, turn off the burner. The pan should be hot enough to cook everything.

Omelette plating technique:

Fold the right side of the egg over the filling in the middle. Now grab a plate with your left hand. With your right hand, slowly slide the opened up part of the egg onto the plate. Once you have it, quickly flip the pan over your plate, and you should end up with a perfectly wrapped omelette! Sprinkle over some more of your favorite cheese.

Eat it with some toast, add your favorite ketchup, salsa, or hot sauce.
