A spinach omelet is a nutritious and delicious option for breakfast or brunch, packed with protein and vitamins. It's simple to prepare with fresh spinach and eggs, aligning well with keto and weight-loss diets. Enjoy it with additional veggies, toast, or by itself for a satisfying meal.
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, and season with pepper powder, chili flakes, and salt.
Whisk the eggs and spices vigorously until the mixture becomes frothy. Then, set it aside.
Place a pan on medium heat, pour in some oil, and add garlic, sauté until it turns aromatic.
Add the bell peppers into the pan and continue to sauté until they're tender.
Mix in the chopped spinach leaves, allowing them to wilt within the mixture.
Pour the beaten eggs into the pan, ensuring they're evenly distributed. Allow them to cook without stirring for about 2 minutes, or until the edges begin to brown slightly.
Cover the pan with a lid and allow the omelet to cook through on low heat for approximately 3 minutes.
Remove the lid, and your delicious spinach omelet is now ready to be savored.
To Serve
Enjoy the nutritious and flavorful Spinach Omelet on its own, or serve with bread, chapati, or rice for a more filling meal.
Notes
Use a non-stick or seasoned cast-iron pan to ensure your omelet doesn't stick.
Whisk the eggs well until frothy to achieve a fluffy texture that makes for a spongy, enjoyable bite.
Briefly wilting the spinach before adding it to the mix helps to prevent a watery omelet, resulting in a juicy and flavorful dish.
Stick to a simple cooking method without the need for tilting or shaking the pan, and you'll create an omelet that can rival the offerings of a fancy restaurant.
Although olive oil is my go-to, butter, ghee, or other cooking oils are also excellent options.
Spinach is a great starting point, but feel free to explore with mushrooms, cheese, chives, or asparagus to add variety to your omelet.
