Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 6 large Eggs (Fresh eggs provide structure and protein.)
- 1/2 cup Milk (Feel free to use dairy-free alternative.)
- 1/4 cup Flour (Use gluten-free flour for gluten-free option.)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Pepper (Adjust to taste.)
Vegetables and Cheese
- 2 cups Spinach (Fresh, well-drained spinach.)
- 1/4 cup Scallions (Chopped green onions for crunch.)
- 1 cup Shredded White Cheddar Cheese (Can substitute with dairy-free cheese.)
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Make sure your spinach is fresh and well-drained to avoid excess moisture in the omelet.
- Mix Eggs and Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, beat 6 large eggs with 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 cup flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Spinach, Scallions, and Cheese: Gently fold in the cooked spinach, chopped scallions, and 1 cup shredded white cheddar cheese into the egg mixture, ensuring even distribution without deflating the eggs.
- Prepare for Baking: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and pour the egg mixture evenly onto it, spreading it to create a uniform layer.
- Bake the Omelet: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the omelet is set and edges turn slightly golden.
- Cool the Omelet: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the omelet to cool for a few minutes to firm up, making it easier to roll.
- Roll the Omelet: Carefully roll the omelet from one edge, creating a spiral shape without breaking it.
- Slice and Serve: Slice the rolled omelet into 1-inch pieces and serve warm for a delightful and nutritious breakfast.
Notes
- Use gluten-free flour if you need to make this recipe gluten-free.
- For a dairy-free alternative, swap milk and cheese with plant-based options.
- Ensure spinach is well-drained to prevent soggy texture in the omelet.
- The rolled omelet slices make a great finger food for brunch or lunch boxes.
- Season the mixture according to your taste; you can add herbs like dill or parsley for extra flavor.
