This veggie omelette is a tasty breakfast or quick snack made with eggs and fresh spinach. It’s light, healthy, and easy to make in just a few minutes.
I like to add a little cheese or tomato too, but spinach keeps it nice and green. Sometimes I sneak in a few mushrooms for more fun.
For a quick breakfast, I just serve it with some toast or fruit. It’s a simple way to start the day feeling good!
Ingredients & Substitutions
Fresh spinach: This bright green veggie adds a mild, slightly earthy flavor. I like to use fresh, but frozen works in a pinch—just thaw and squeeze out extra water to prevent sogginess.
Eggs: The breakfast staple gives the omelette its fluffy texture. Use large eggs for best results; if you want a creamier omelette, add a splash of milk or cream.
Cheese (optional): A little shredded cheese like cheddar or feta adds richness. If you’re dairy-free, skip or try nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor.
Seasonings: Salt and pepper make the flavors pop. I sometimes add a pinch of paprika or garlic powder for extra flavor, but keep it simple for the best veggie taste.
How do I sauté spinach without it turning slimy?
To keep spinach bright and not slimy, sauté quickly over medium-high heat. Add a touch of oil, stir the spinach constantly until wilted (about 1-2 minutes). Remove from heat immediately to prevent excess moisture and sogginess.
- Heat oil in a pan over medium-high.
- Add spinach and cook briskly, stirring often.
- Cook just until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and drain excess water if needed.
