How to Make German Spinach Omelet

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and milk until light and frothy.
  2. Melt butter in a small, oven-safe skillet (8-10 inches) over medium heat.
  3. Add sliced bell peppers to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until slightly softened.
  4. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté for another 2-3 minutes, until tender.
  5. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes, or until the edges begin to set.
  6. Gently stir the eggs once or twice with a spatula, allowing some uncooked egg to remain on top.
  7. Sprinkle chopped spinach evenly over the omelet.
  8. Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid slightly ajar, and cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until the spinach wilts and the eggs are cooked through but still slightly moist.
  9. Carefully slide the omelet onto a plate.
  10. Serve the German Spinach Omelet immediately on top of toasted rye bread. Enjoy!
