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.)
Vegetables & Cheese
- 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: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Eggs and Seasoning: In a large mixing bowl, beat the 6 large eggs together with 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 cup flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Incorporate Vegetables and Cheese: Gently fold in the 2 cups of cooked and well-drained spinach, 1/4 cup chopped scallions, and 1 cup shredded white cheddar cheese into the egg mixture, ensuring ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Bake the Omelet: Pour the mixture onto the prepared 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: Remove the baked omelet from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes so it firms up slightly, making it easier to handle. Carefully roll the omelet from one edge into a tight roll.
- Slice and Serve: Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled omelet into 1-inch thick pieces. These slices make perfect individual servings for a healthy and tasty breakfast or brunch.
