Ingredients
Scale
Omelet Base
- 6 large Eggs
- 1/2 cup Milk (dairy or dairy-free alternative)
- 1/4 cup Flour (gluten-free if desired)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Pepper
Filling
- 2 cups Fresh Spinach, well-drained and cooked
- 1/4 cup Scallions, chopped
- 1 cup Shredded White Cheddar Cheese (or dairy-free substitute)
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mixing the Batter: In a mixing bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, flour, salt, and pepper until fully combined and smooth.
- Add Fillings: Gently fold the cooked spinach, chopped scallions, and shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture, ensuring even distribution.
- Pour Mixture: Pour the prepared mixture onto the lined baking sheet, spreading it evenly to form a thin layer.
- Bake the Omelet: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the omelet is fully set and starts to develop a light golden color.
- Cool and Roll: Remove the omelet from the oven and let it cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, carefully roll the omelet from one edge to create a spiral shape.
- Slice and Serve: Slice the rolled omelet into 1-inch pieces, arranging them neatly on a serving platter.
Notes
- Use fresh, well-drained spinach to prevent excess moisture in the omelet.
- You can substitute the milk with any dairy-free milk to accommodate dietary preferences.
- Gluten-free flour can be used to make the dish gluten-free.
- For a dairy-free option, replace cheddar cheese with a suitable dairy-free cheese.
- Allow the omelet to cool slightly before rolling to avoid cracking.
