Ingredients
Scale
- 3 eggs
- Green onions, chopped (as desired)
- Small bunch of spinach, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon dry basil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dry oregano
- Half of a cabbage, finely chopped
- Black pepper, to taste
- Oil, for greasing the pan
- Hard cheese (Gruyere or Parmesan), grated (as desired)
- Cherry tomatoes, halved (as desired)
- Sauce (tomato sauce or salsa), for serving
Instructions
1. Prepare the Vegetables:
- Wash the green onions, spinach, and cabbage. Chop the green onions and spinach into small pieces. Finely chop half of the cabbage and halve the cherry tomatoes.
2. Beat the Eggs:
- Crack the eggs into a large bowl. Beat them until smooth, then mix in the salt, dry basil, and dry oregano. Stir to combine.
3. Cook the Vegetables:
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of oil to coat the pan.
- Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until it begins to soften.
- Add the spinach and green onions, stirring until the spinach wilts. Season with black pepper and additional salt if desired.
4. Make the Omelette:
- Pour the beaten egg mixture evenly over the cooked vegetables in the skillet. Spread the eggs to cover the veggies.
- Sprinkle the grated hard cheese over the top, followed by the halved cherry tomatoes for a burst of freshness and color.
- Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the cheese is melted.
5. Serve:
- Carefully slide the omelette onto a plate. Serve warm with a side of tomato sauce or salsa for an extra layer of flavor.
