Equipment

  • 8 or 10-inch Nonstick Skillet
  • Spatula
  • small bowls

Ingredients
  

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 ½ cups baby spinach, loosely packed
  • 1 tablespoon cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons shaved parmesan
  • ½ tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • kosher salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl stir the cream cheese and shaved parmesan. Set aside. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined.
  • In an 8 or 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat, sauté the garlic in the olive oil until fragrant - about 30 seconds. Do not cook the garlic too long or it will burn and get bitter.
  • Add the baby spinach to the skillet and sauté until wilted, stirring so it doesn't burn.
  • Transfer the spinach to the bowl with the parmesan. Stir well until the mixture is well combined.
  • In the same skillet over medium heat, add the butter. Let it melt, and use your spatula to move it so it coats the entire pan.
  • Add the eggs to the pan. The edges should immediately begin to set. Use your spatula to gently push the eggs toward the middle of the pan. Carefully tilt the pan so the runny, uncooked egg moves to the edge.
  • Repeat this process until the eggs are mostly set, but still soft on top.
  • Spoon the spinach mixture into the middle of the eggs. Use a thin-set spatula to fold one side over the spinach, then do the same with the other side.
  • Carefully slide the omelette onto a plate and enjoy!
