Best 7 Indian Spinach Cheese Omelet Recipes

SPINACH OMELETTE

Steps:

• Prep the ingredients. Wash and chop the spinach leaves. Don't let the leaves go dry. Leave some water. Thinly slice the garlic. Crack the eggs into a bowl, and add a tablespoon of milk. Add a pinch of salt, and whisk the eggs gently just enough for the yolk to mix well.
• Heat a cast iron skillet (or any other frying pan), and add the chopped spinach, garlic, and sprinkle some salt. Let the leaves wilt, and take them off the skillet.
• Pour a teaspoon olive oil on the pan, and spread it evenly with a spatula. Reduce the flame to medium, and pour the egg mixture. Tilt the pan and let the eggs spread evenly. As soon as the omelette start to set, lift near the edges with the spatula so that the uncooked eggs can reach the bottom of the pan. Once the center starts to set, top half of the omelette with the cooked spinach and garlic. Now sprinkle the grated cheese on top of it.
• Lower the flame, and cook further. Wait for the cheese to start melting, and once the omelette starts to get detached from sides, fold in half. Gently slide the omelette to a plate.

SPINACH AND GARLIC OMELET

Steps:

• Wash the spinach and wilt in a frying pan over medium-high heat. The water remaining on the spinach leaves after washing will be sufficient. Drain, allow to cool and squeeze out excess water. Chop medium-fine and toss with half the garlic and salt and pepper to taste.
• Break the eggs into another bowl and beat with a fork or a whisk until they are frothy. Whisk in the remaining garlic, salt and pepper to taste and 2 to 3 teaspoons milk.
• Heat an 8-inch nonstick omelet pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 teaspoons olive oil. Hold your hand an inch or two above the pan, and when it feels hot, pour the eggs into the middle of the pan, scraping every last bit into the pan with a rubber spatula. Swirl the pan to distribute the eggs evenly over the surface. Shake the pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up the edges of the omelet with the spatula in your other hand, to let the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking.
• As soon as the eggs are set on the bottom, sprinkle the spinach over the middle of the egg pancake and top with the Parmesan, then jerk the pan quickly away from you then back toward you so that the omelet folds over on itself. If you don't like your omelet runny in the middle (I do), jerk the pan again so that the omelet folds over once more. Cook for a minute or two longer. Tilt the pan and roll the omelet out onto a plate.
