Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 large egg whites
- 2 tablespoons low-fat milk
- 100 grams cooked ham
- 50 grams cheddar cheese
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a large bowl. Add the egg whites and beat together until well combined.
Step 2
Mix in the low-fat milk, salt, and black pepper, beating until the mixture is smooth and slightly foamy.
Step 3
Dice the cooked ham into small pieces and grate the cheddar cheese if not pre-grated.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Step 5
Add the fresh spinach to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Remove the spinach from the pan and set aside.
Step 6
Pour the egg mixture into the same frying pan, ensuring the bottom is evenly coated.
Step 7
As the omelette begins to set, use a spatula to gently lift the edges and allow the uncooked egg mixture to flow underneath.
Step 8
When the omelette is mostly set but slightly runny on top, evenly distribute the cooked ham and spinach over one half of the omelette.
Step 9
Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese over the ham and spinach.
Step 10
Fold the other half of the omelette over the filling and let it cook for another 1-2 minutes until fully set and the cheese is melted.
Step 11
Slide the omelette onto a serving plate, slice in half, and serve hot.
