How to Make Spinach And Cream Cheese Omelette

  1. Wash and thoroughly dry 5 oz (140g) of fresh spinach leaves. Remove stems and thinly slice the leaves.
  2. Set aside the sliced spinach.
  3. In a small bowl, whip together 4 oz (113g) cream cheese, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional).
  4. Set aside the cream cheese mixture.
  5. Finely dice 1/4 cup (30g) yellow onion or shallot.
  6. Set aside the diced onion.
  7. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  8. Add the diced onion and sauté for 2 minutes until softened.
  9. Add the spinach and sauté for another 3-5 minutes, until wilted but still vibrant green.
  10. Remove the spinach and onion mixture from the skillet and set aside in a bowl.
  11. Melt the remaining 1-2 tablespoons of butter in the same skillet over medium heat.
  12. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 2 tablespoons whole milk, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper.
  13. Pour the egg mixture into the hot skillet and let it cook undisturbed for a minute or two, until the edges begin to set.
  14. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of freshly grated nutmeg over one half of the omelette.
  15. Pour half of the cream cheese mixture over the same half of the omelette.
  16. Top with the spinach and onion mixture.
  17. Sprinkle the remaining cream cheese mixture and nutmeg over the filling.
  18. Gently fold the omelette in half.
  19. Turn off the heat and let the omelette stand for 3 minutes to allow the cheese to melt completely and the filling to heat through.
  20. Serve immediately and enjoy!
