- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp milk (or cream, for extra richness)
- Salt u0026 pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp butter (or olive oil)
- ½ cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
- ⅓ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 tbsp fresh herbs, chopped (such as parsley, chives, dill, or basil)
Prep the Eggs In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Cook the Spinach Heat half of the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add spinach and cook for 1–2 minutes until just wilted. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Cook the Omelette Base Add the remaining butter to the skillet. Pour in the egg mixture and tilt the pan so it coats the surface evenly. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for 1–2 minutes until the edges start to set.
Add the Fillings Sprinkle cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the omelette. Add the cooked spinach on top of the cheese. Scatter fresh herbs over the spinach.
Fold and Finish Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelette in half over the filling. Cook for another 1–2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully set but still soft.
Serve Immediately Slide onto a plate, garnish with extra herbs if desired, and enjoy while hot.
