¨ 2 teaspoons oil (for sautéing veggies)
¨ 1/2 Tablespoon butter (for cooking eggs; could also replace with oil)
¨ Optional: 1 cup spinach (or less)
¨ Optional: 1/3 cup shredded cheese (or less)
EQUIPMENT
• mixing bowl
• whisk or fork (for beating eggs)
• knife (for cutting veggies)
• cutting board
• measuring spoons and cups
• stove
• non-stick frying pan
• hard spatula
DIRECTIONS:
Yield: 2 servings
1. Crack eggs into a mixing bowl. Add salt and pepper. Beat with a fork. Set aside.
2. Dice veggies into small pieces. You should have 1/2 cup (8 Tablespoons) of veggies total. Set aside in 1/2
cup measuring cup or small bowl.
3. If using greens and/or cheese, get up to 1 cup spinach and 1/3 cup cheese. Rinse spinach and shake off. Set
spinach and cheese aside in separate piles near stove.
4. Get 2 teaspoons oil and add to frying pan. Turn burner to medium-high heat. When hot add veggies and
sauté until they start to soften (3-5 minutes). Mix with a spatula. When done, empty veggies into a small
bowl or the cutting board. Return the empty pan to the heat.
5. If using spinach, add it to the empty pan and sauté 1-3 minutes until spinach turns dark green and wilts.
Leave spinach in the pan.
6. Add 1/2 Tablespoon butter to the pan. When melted, swirl it around until the pan bottom is coated. If
using spinach, make sure it’s spread evenly in the pan.
7. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and cook, undisturbed for about 30 seconds.
8. Use the spatula to push the outer edges of the eggs toward the center. As you do this, tip the pan allowing
the uncooked eggs in the center to spread into the gaps and cook. Continue until the omelette is mostly
set around the edges, but still a bit runny in the center (about 3 minutes).
9. Get ready to flip the omelette. Use the spatula to loosen the omelette on all sides; it’s ready if it slides
when you give the pan a good shake. Using the spatula, lift the entire omelette like a pancake and flip it.
Lower the heat to medium-low.
10. Add the toppings. If using cheese, put it on first so it will melt. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over half of the
omelette. Spread the sautéed veggies over half of the omelette (and on top of the cheese) leaving about
an inch border around the edge.
11. Using the spatula, peek at the bottom of the omelette to make sure the eggs are cooked. Then, fold the
omelette in half by lifting the plain half of the omelette over the half of the omelette with the toppings.
12. Slide the omelette out of the pan and onto a plate. Turn the burner OFF.
13. Fill out the tasting page notes and eat your delicious creation!
