Spinach and Cheese Omelette with Whole Wheat Toast

Ingredients

• Eggs 3 large
• Spinach 1 cup
• Cheddar cheese 1 oz
• Whole wheat bread 2 slices
• Butter 1 tsp

Method

1. Prepare Ingredients. Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly under cold water and roughly chop it. Grate the cheddar cheese if not pre-grated. Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them well with a fork or whisk until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
   Tip: Beating the eggs well helps make the omelette fluffy.
2. Cook Spinach. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add half a teaspoon of butter. Once melted, add the chopped spinach and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until wilted. Remove the spinach from the pan and set aside.
   Tip: Cooking spinach first removes excess moisture, preventing a soggy omelette.
3. Cook Omelette Base. Add the remaining half teaspoon of butter to the pan and let it melt, coating the surface. Pour the beaten eggs into the pan, tilting it gently to spread the eggs evenly. Let it cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to set.
   Tip: Use a non-stick pan and moderate heat to avoid burning the eggs.
4. Add Filling. Sprinkle the sautéed spinach evenly over one half of the omelette. Then add the grated cheddar cheese on top of the spinach.
   Tip: Adding fillings on one side makes it easier to fold the omelette.
5. Fold Omelette and Finish Cooking. Using a spatula, carefully lift the other half of the omelette and fold it over the fillings. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts and the eggs are fully cooked.
   Tip: Cover the pan with a lid to help the cheese melt faster.
6. Toast Bread. While the omelette finishes cooking, toast the two slices of whole wheat bread to your desired crispiness. Spread a little butter on the warm toast if you like.
   Tip: Use a toaster or a pan to toast bread evenly.
7. Serve. Plate the omelette alongside the buttered whole wheat toast. Serve immediately while hot for the best taste.
   Tip: Garnish with a sprinkle of black pepper or fresh herbs if desired.
