Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 ounce cheddar cheese
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Whisk vigorously until well combined and slightly frothy.
Step 2
Grate the cheddar cheese and set aside. Chop the fresh spinach, chives, and parsley finely.
Step 3
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the pan's surface evenly.
Step 4
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, swirling it gently to cover the bottom of the pan evenly.
Step 5
Let the eggs cook gently, using a spatula to occasionally lift the edges, allowing the unset egg to flow underneath.
Step 6
Once the bottom is set and the surface is slightly moist, sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese and chopped spinach on one half of the omelet.
Step 7
Use the spatula to fold the other side of the omelet over the filling.
Step 8
Cover the pan with a lid and let it cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts and the omelet is cooked through.
Step 9
Slide the omelet onto a plate, garnish with chopped chives and parsley, and serve immediately.
