Method
Dice the bell4 pepper finely, chop the green6 onion, and grate the cheese.
Beat the eggs1 with the milk2, salt, and pepper using a fork.
Heat a skillet with the butter8 over medium heat.
Sauté the bell4 pepper for 2 minutes, add the spinach, and cook for 1 more minute until softened.
Pour in the egg mixture, then sprinkle with the cheese and green6 onion.
Cook covered for 6–8 minutes over low heat, until the top is set and the cheese has melted.
Toast the bread on a dry spot in the skillet, or in the skillet after the omelet, for 1 minute on each side, and serve with the omelet.
Tips
- Why it works
- Cook the omelette on low heat under a lid: the eggs warm evenly, and the bottom doesn't brown before the top sets.
- Substitutions
- Swap the 50 g of 2.5% milk for 50 g of water, and the omelette will be slightly less creamy. Instead of spinach, use 40 g of finely chopped parsley or dill.
- Common mistakes
- A common mistake is too high a heat. You'll notice it by a dark bottom and a runny middle after just 3-4 minutes.
- Storing and reheating
- Keep the omelette in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat under a lid on low heat for 3-4 minutes, or in the microwave in short bursts.
- Serve with
- Serve it with toast and sliced fresh cucumber or tomato for a quick dinner.
