How to make my Easy Cheesy Spinach Omelet Recipe
The first step is to beat the eggs with an electric mixer, either a hand mixer, or a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. You can definitely do this by hand, but you want it really foamy (see photo below).
Add either butter or nonstick cooking spray to a nonstick skillet and follow with the foamy egg mixture. Stir until you start seeing some scrambled mixed with the liquid eggs. Add the cheese and wilted spinach.
Allow the omelet to set over medium low heat and give it some salt and pepper, to taste.
Once it firms up a bit, it’s time to use your spatula and give it a flip. You may need to tilt the pan or hold it there for a minute so that it stays in place.
Place a serving plate over the pan and flip the omelet out onto the plate. Serve with a side of your favorite salsa. Garnish with either chopped fresh Italian Flat Leaf Parsley or Green Onions.
