Ingredients

• 3 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 cup spinach, fresh
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup sweet corn kernels, cooked
• 0.5 red bell pepper, diced
• 0.5 jalapeño, finely diced (optional)
• 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
• 1 teaspoon lime juice
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels, diced red bell pepper, jalapeño (if using), chopped cilantro, lime juice, ground cumin, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and set aside. This will be your corn pepper relish.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with milk, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and black pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, add the fresh spinach and sauté for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Remove the spinach from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

Pour the whisked eggs into the same skillet and let them cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to set.

Step 5

Gently spread the sautéed spinach and shredded cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the omelet. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese begins to melt and the eggs are mostly set but still slightly soft on top.

Step 6

Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelet in half to cover the filling. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, flipping if necessary, until fully cooked and golden on the outside.

Step 7

Transfer the omelet to a plate and spoon a generous amount of the corn pepper relish on top. Serve immediately and enjoy your Tex Mex Spinach Omelet with Corn Pepper Relish!
