Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 pieces egg whites
- 0.5 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Start by washing and drying the baby spinach thoroughly, and slicing the green onions finely.
Step 2
In a large bowl, crack the eggs and add the egg whites. Beat them together until well combined.
Step 3
Stir in the ricotta cheese into the beaten eggs until the mixture is smooth.
Step 4
Add the sliced green onions, spinach, salt, and ground black pepper to the egg mixture and mix well.
Step 5
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add the olive oil, swirling it around to coat the pan evenly.
Step 6
Pour the egg mixture into the pan, spreading it out evenly.
Step 7
Cook the omelette for about 4-5 minutes or until the bottom is set and lightly golden. You may need to adjust the heat to prevent burning.
Step 8
Once the bottom of the omelette is cooked, carefully flip it using a spatula or fold it in half if preferred, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until fully set.
Step 9
Remove from the pan and let it rest for a minute before serving. Enjoy your high-protein Romanian Omleta fresh with a side salad or some toasted bread.
