Omelet with spinach and cheese is a tasty and necessary breakfast. I cook this kind of omelet for my wife quite often. Spinach can be used either fresh or frozen. I used frozen, and as it turned out, I didn’t see how the supplies in the freezer ran out. Frozen spinach does not require defrosting and is added straight into the pan. Such a huge portion can be divided between two people, but my husband eats it himself, so I indicated one portion. Omelette can be cooked with milk or sour cream; I like it better with sour cream, because it turns out fluffier. You can also prepare an omelette with kefir for contrast.

To make an omelet with spinach and cheese, prepare all the necessary ingredients according to the list.

Cut the onion into cubes and grate the hard cheese on a medium grater.

Break the eggs into a suitable container, add sour cream, salt and pepper. Shake the mixture with a fork.

Melt the butter in a frying pan and fry the onion in it until transparent.

Then add the spinach to the pan and cook until the spinach has reduced in volume and excess moisture has evaporated.

Pour the prepared egg mixture into the pan and sprinkle with grated cheese.

Use a spatula to push back the edges so that the watery part fills the resulting space.

Sprinkle chopped dill on top of the omelette and cover the pan with a lid. Cook the omelette for 4-5 minutes over low heat, then turn off the heat and leave it covered for another 5-10 minutes.

Lift the omelette with a spatula and place on a plate, folding in half. Serve the omelette with spinach and cheese to the table with the freshest tomatoes and herbs.

An omelette with spinach can be prepared quickly at home, and there are many variations. TOP 4 of the most delicious recipes for making it in our selection.

Cooking tips and secrets

  • Before cooking, spinach can be doused with boiling water or blanched for 30 seconds in boiling water. This will reduce the amount of oxalic acid in the leaves. Although there is a small amount of it in a young plant.
  • Spinach is sold fresh and frozen in hypermarkets. When choosing it, pay attention to the leaves. They should be a rich greenish color without black spots. Leaves that are not crispy and limp to the touch indicate that the plant has been picked for a long time, and it is better not to use them for food.
  • The twigs with roots retain their nutritional characteristics and freshness longer.
  • It is not recommended to store the plant fresh for a long time. To use spinach all year round, you need to freeze it for future use. Spinach is not cooked before freezing.
  • Do not defrost frozen spinach ahead of time, but add it immediately to a heated frying pan.
  • To make an omelet, eggs are combined with milk, sometimes with sour cream, and less often with water. Do not beat the mixture with a mixer; mix thoroughly with a whisk or fork. The perfect proportion is 1 egg and half a milk shell. If there is more water, the finished omelette will quickly collapse.
  • The most fluffy and satisfying omelette will be obtained if you add flour or semolina. But don’t overdo it, otherwise it will be tight and flat.
  • An airy omelette-soufflé can be obtained by beating the whites separately and later adding them to the beaten yolks with milk.
  • A very airy and light omelette is made from homemade eggs, a dietary and least calorie-rich omelette is made only from whites, and the densest mixture is made only from yolks.
  • The spinach filling is added to the well-beaten omelette mixture.
  • Cook the omelette in a frying pan with a thick and level bottom (completely metal) under a lid with a hole for draining water.

Omelette with spinach

Mon, June 20, 2016

It's time for a new oven-baked omelet recipe, don't you think? This is a simple, savory and immediately satisfying dish that can be easily prepared for the whole family. But now we don’t have an ordinary omelette, but this one is positive, catchy and rich in a summer way. Let's cook it with a huge amount of the freshest spinach - taste and healthiness in one dish are guaranteed.

It must be said that you can write about the usefulness of spinach for a long, long time - some literary sources even mention it as the king of vegetables. And in fact, spinach is a record holder for the content of vitamins and minerals that are needed for the proper formation and development of children's bones. That is why, from a young age, accustom your children to healthy home-cooked food, but remember that spinach is not recommended for people with disorders of water-salt metabolism, as well as liver and kidney diseases.

Ingredients:

Making a dish step by step:

To make a tasty and healthy omelet with spinach, take chicken eggs (I have about 60 grams each), milk of any fat content, fresh spinach, butter and salt. I think this omelet can be made with frozen spinach.

Turn on the oven to heat up (180 degrees) and start with the spinach. It is necessary to carefully wash any leaf, because there is a lot of sand on them and there are aphids. For omelette, whole leaves are used, so we tear off the stems - you get a large bowl. We carefully dry the leaves, because we don’t need excess moisture at all.

Then we cut the greens into thin strips - the spinach is prepared.

Break chicken eggs at room temperature into another bowl. I have homemade ones, that’s why their yolk is actually orange.

Add salt to taste and beat the eggs with a fork or whisk. There is no need to beat; otherwise, when baking, the omelette will greatly increase in volume and then fall off. And when stirring, the size of the omelette remains virtually constant, but there will be a lot of air bubbles in it.

Add room temperature milk to the eggs and mix everything.

What comes out is an almost homogeneous omelette mass.

Pour it over the chopped spinach and stir.

Now we take a baking dish of suitable size (I have a capacity of 1 liter) and put the omelette mixture into it along with the spinach. We level the greens and put them in a hot oven at 180 degrees on a medium level for about 30-60 minutes. The cooking time for an omelet with spinach depends on your oven, as well as the size (and, as a result, the height of the omelet) of the dish. I spent 45 minutes in the oven.

The spinach omelette is ready when you feel springy when you press it. Nothing needs to remain watery inside.

Let the finished omelette cool for a couple of minutes and transfer it to a plate.

This omelette holds its shape unsurpassedly and is perfectly cut into portions. This is such a catchy and delicious omelet that comes from homemade eggs. With store-bought ones, naturally, it will be even lighter, but it will turn out just as tasty, tender and juicy. Try it! And. Olenka Stikhareva shared the recipe for this wonderful dish, for which I am very grateful to her! By the way, I also have a recipe for scrambled eggs with spinach that is no less delicious - you’ll just lick your fingers!
