Preparation

Step 1: Prepare the spinach

If you use fresh spinach, start rinse them with care under water to remove the dirt.

Then heat a pan with a little olive oil over medium heat.

Add the spinach to the pan and cook them until they are faded, which should only take a few minutes.

If you opt for frozen spinach, make sure you do not recommend them well and drain them to prevent the fritta from getting too wet.

Step 2: Prepare the omelette

In a bowl, break the eggs and beat with a fork or a whisk. Add a pinch of salt and pepper according to your tastes.

For an additional touch, you can finely cut a onion and add it to the egg mixture.

This will bring a caramelized sweetness that goes perfectly with spinach.

Step 3: Cook the omelette

In the same pan where you cooked the spinach, add a little more olive oil if necessary and pour the beaten egg mixture.

Divide the spinach cooked uniformly above.

Cook over low heat for about 5 minutes or until the lower part is golden and the upper part starts to take.

To check the cooking, you can gently raise an edge of the omelette with a spatula.

Step 4: Add cheese (optional)

If you have decided to add cheese, it’s time to do it.

Sprinkle on half of the omelette.

Fold the other half and cook for another minute so that the cheese melts.

This will add a creamy consistency and a tasty flavor to your omelette.
