Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 6 large Eggs (Fresh eggs provide structure and protein)
- 1/2 cup Milk (Dairy or 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 & Cheese
- 2 cups Spinach (Fresh, well-drained)
- 1/4 cup Scallions (Chopped green onions for crunch)
- 1 cup Shredded White Cheddar Cheese (Can substitute with dairy-free cheese)
Instructions
- Preparation: Gather and measure all ingredients. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking.
- Mix the Egg Batter: In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs with milk, flour, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring a uniform base for the omelet.
- Fold in Add-ins: Gently fold the cooked spinach, chopped scallions, and shredded white cheddar cheese into the egg mixture, distributing all ingredients evenly without deflating the eggs.
- Prepare for Baking: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Pour the omelet mixture evenly onto the sheet, spreading it out to create a thin layer for rolling later.
- Bake the Omelet: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the omelet is set and has a slightly golden surface, indicating it is cooked through.
- Cool and Roll: Remove the omelet from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes to firm up and make rolling easier. Carefully roll the omelet starting from one edge to create a tight spiral.
- Slice and Serve: Use a sharp knife to slice the rolled omelet into 1-inch thick pieces. Arrange on a serving platter and enjoy this healthy, flavorful breakfast treat.
Notes
- You can substitute regular milk with your favorite dairy-free alternative like almond or oat milk.
- For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free flour instead of regular flour.
- Cook the spinach before folding it in to remove excess moisture and avoid a soggy omelet.
- If you prefer, swap white cheddar cheese with dairy-free cheese for a vegan alternative, though the recipe as is includes eggs and dairy.
- This omelet can be served warm or at room temperature and is great for meal prep.
- Adjust seasoning with additional herbs such as parsley or chives for extra flavor.
