How to Make Egyptian Spinach Omelet
- Rinse 10 oz fresh spinach thoroughly and drain well.
- Squeeze out as much excess water as possible from the spinach.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large (10-inch) oven-safe skillet (cast iron preferred) over medium heat.
- Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and cook until tender and lightly golden (about 5 minutes).
- Add 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes, undrained.
- Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Cook for 12-15 minutes, or until tomatoes are tender and the liquid is reduced.
- Add the squeezed spinach to the skillet and stir to combine.
- Preheat your broiler to high.
- In a large bowl, lightly beat 6 large eggs.
- Season eggs with 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, and a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg.
- Gently stir the tomato-onion-spinach mixture into the beaten eggs.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in the same skillet over low heat.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, spreading evenly.
- Top evenly with 1 (15-ounce) can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed.
- Cook over low heat for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until the bottom is set and lightly browned.
- Broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the top is set and lightly browned. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Garnish with fresh herbs (like parsley or mint) and serve with warm flatbreads.
