Omelettes are a great food to cook for breakfast – the quick and easy meal can be thrown together in just a few minutes and will leave you feeling satisfied. Omelettes are a nutritious meal option. They’re rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals, making them a healthy choice.
But cooking your omelette right will make it fluffier and even more delicious. Ellis Barrie has shared how to cook an omelette in minutes and it’s what you add to it that will make the biggest difference. There are two foods which Barrie suggests adding to this breakfast meal for added flavour.
Barrie says the key to a good omelette is adding spinach and cheese to the recipe.
To make this healthy breakfast, you should first start by melting a knob of butter in a frying pan placed over a medium heat.
Next, you should add the spinach and cook for a minute or two. After this, you should season with salt and pepper and then tip out onto a plate.
After this, beat the eggs in a bowl until mixed and return them to the frying pan. Add the remaining butter and melt until it turns foamy.
With the beaten eggs, tilt the pan to distribute the eggs evenly and leave for 20 seconds.
You’ll then need to use a spatula or a wooden spoon to draw in the sides of the eggs to the centre, and incorporate butter.
Then, gently shake the pan to redistribute the egg to the edges.
For flavour, sprinkle over cheese and spinach while the egg is still runny in the middle.
Take the pan off the heat and let the egg continue to cook in the warmth of the pan.
Finally, season with salt and pepper, says BBC Food.
There’s a huge range of toppings you can add to your omelette. Cheese is one of the most common additions but if you’re wondering which type of cheese is best, Eating Well has shared what you should look out for.
It says: “There’s nothing wrong with choosing classic grated Cheddar to complement some crispy bacon or well-seared breakfast sausage, but a softer cheese, like chèvre or a herby Boursin, amplifies the gooey factor and leaves you with creamy bite after creamy bite.
“Softer cheeses, stirred together with your proteins and cooked veggies, also help with ingredient integration, assuring that every bite has a little bit of everything.”
By following this simple recipe, you can create a delicious healthy breakfast to start your day off with a nutritious meal.
