A French-inspired Italian kitchen staple, this omelette combines creamy cheeses with fresh spinach for a balanced meal ready in 10 minutes. While traditional French versions use Brie or Camembert (suggested here), Italian home cooks often substitute with readily available cheeses like fresh ricotta or mozzarella for similar meltability. The spinach addition reflects Italy’s tradition of incorporating seasonal greens into quick meals. Serve as a light dinner with crusty bread, or enjoy cold as part of a antipasto platter.

To prepare the Cheese and Spinach Omelette, start by cracking two eggs into a bowl and season them with a pinch of salt.
Beat them quickly with a fork, but don’t overdo it as we’re making an omelette, not a frittata.
Heat a non-stick pan approximately 7 inches in diameter and coat it with butter.
When the butter starts to sizzle, add the eggs and swirl the pan to create an even layer.
Let it cook for 2-3 minutes, then spread some diced cheese and fresh spinach over half of the omelette.
Using a spatula, fold the omelette in half to form a half-moon shape, cover with a lid, and give the cheese a couple of minutes to melt.
Plate your omelette and repeat the process with the remaining eggs. Finally, remember to download our App with exclusive content and fewer ads!
