Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 6 large Eggs (Fresh eggs provide structure and protein.)
- 1/2 cup Milk (Feel free to use dairy-free alternative.)
- 1/4 cup Flour (Use gluten-free flour for gluten-free option.)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Pepper (Adjust to taste.)
Fillings
- 2 cups Spinach (Fresh, well-drained spinach.)
- 1/4 cup Scallions (Chopped green onions for crunch.)
- 1 cup Shredded White Cheddar Cheese (Can substitute with dairy-free cheese.)
Instructions
- Preparation: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal baking temperature.
- Mix Eggs and Base Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, beat the 6 large eggs together with 1/2 cup of milk, 1/4 cup flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Spinach, Scallions, and Cheese: Fold in 2 cups of fresh, well-drained spinach, 1/4 cup of chopped scallions, and 1 cup of shredded white cheddar cheese evenly into the egg mixture.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and to facilitate easy removal of the omelet after baking.
- Bake Omelet: Pour the prepared mixture onto the lined baking sheet, spreading it evenly. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the omelet is fully set and slightly golden on top.
- Cool and Roll Omelet: Once baked, remove the omelet from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes until it is safe to handle.
- Roll Omelet: Carefully roll the omelet from one edge to create a spiral shape, ensuring it remains intact without breaking.
- Slice and Serve: Slice the rolled omelet into 1-inch pieces and serve warm for a nutritious and tasty breakfast.
Notes
- You can substitute regular milk with any dairy-free alternative such as almond or oat milk.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free flour instead of regular flour.
- If dairy-free cheese is preferred, use a plant-based shredded cheese alternative.
- Fresh spinach should be well drained to avoid excess moisture which might affect the texture.
- This recipe can be prepared in advance; reheat gently before serving.
- Adjust seasoning according to your taste preference.
