Ingredients
Scale
Omelet Base
- 6 large Eggs
- 1/2 cup Milk (or dairy-free alternative)
- 1/4 cup Flour (gluten-free option available)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Pepper
Fillings
- 2 cups Fresh Spinach, well-drained and cooked
- 1/4 cup Scallions, chopped
- 1 cup Shredded White Cheddar Cheese (or dairy-free cheese)
Instructions
- Preparation: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures the oven reaches the right temperature to bake the omelet evenly.
- Make the Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs together with the milk, flour, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined. This mixture forms the base for your omelet.
- Add Fillings: Gently fold in the cooked spinach, chopped scallions, and shredded white cheddar cheese into the egg mixture. This adds flavor, texture, and nutrients to your omelet.
- Prepare for Baking: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Pour the combined mixture onto the prepared sheet and spread it evenly to form a rectangular shape.
- Bake the Omelet: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the omelet is set and slightly golden on top.
- Cool the Omelet: Remove the baked omelet from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Cooling slightly makes it easier to roll without breaking.
- Roll the Omelet: Carefully roll the omelet starting from one edge to form a tight roll. Take your time to avoid cracks.
- Slice and Serve: Cut the rolled omelet into approximately 1-inch thick pieces. Arrange on a serving plate and enjoy your healthy rolled spinach omelet.
