Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Vegetables and Cheese
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves, chopped
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Cooking
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until smooth and slightly frothy to ensure a light and fluffy omelet.
- Sauté Spinach: Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped spinach and sauté for about 1 minute until wilted, releasing its flavor and moisture.
- Cook Omelet Base: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sautéed spinach in the pan. Cook gently for 2 to 3 minutes until the edges start to set but the top remains slightly runny, being careful not to overcook.
- Add Cheese and Tomatoes: Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and diced tomatoes over the top of the omelet, allowing the cheese to begin melting as the omelet finishes cooking.
- Roll Up Omelet: Carefully loosen the edges of the omelet with a spatula. Using the spatula, roll up the omelet from one side to the other like a wrap, enclosing the cheese and tomatoes inside.
- Final Cooking: Cook the rolled omelet for another minute in the skillet to ensure the cheese melts fully inside and the roll stays warm.
- Serve and Garnish: Slide the omelet roll onto a plate. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, slice into portions, and serve immediately for a nutritious and satisfying breakfast.
Notes
- Customize by adding other vegetables like mushrooms or bell peppers to the spinach for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Swap mozzarella cheese for feta or cheddar depending on your taste preference.
- For a heartier meal, spread a thin layer of hummus or avocado inside before rolling the omelet.
- To make the recipe vegan, substitute the eggs with a chickpea flour batter and use plant-based cheese alternatives.
- This omelet roll-up works well for meal prep and can be enjoyed warm or cold, making it versatile for busy mornings.
