Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more, softened, for brushing
1 onion, chopped (2 cups)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 pound curly-leaf spinach, thick stems removed, sliced (8 packed cups)
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into a 1/2-inch dice (3 cups)
1 1/2 cups whole milk
12 large eggs
Scant 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
6 ounces fontina, coarsely grated (2 cups)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Brush a 2-quart baking dish with butter. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until golden in places, 5 to 7 minutes. Add spinach and thyme; cook until spinach wilts and darkens slightly, about 5 minutes. Add potatoes and milk; season with pepper.
  • Simmer until milk thickens and reduces slightly and potatoes are easily pierced with the tip of a knife but still retain their shape, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; let cool completely. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk eggs with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and nutmeg. Stir cooled potato mixture and half of cheese into eggs.
  • Transfer to prepared baking dish and cover with parchment-lined foil. (If assembling the day before, wrap the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to bake). Bake casserole, covered, 30 minutes. Uncover, sprinkle evenly with remaining half of cheese, and continue baking until set and golden brown in places, 15 to 25 minutes more (if the top is browning too quickly, tent with foil). Let cool slightly before serving.

Time 45m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 pound good thick-cut bacon
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 cup medium-diced Yukon gold potato
1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
1 tablespoon minced jalapeno pepper
5 extra-large eggs
2 tablespoons milk or cream
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped scallions, white and green parts
4 ounces extra-sharp Cheddar, diced, plus extra grated cheese, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Drain the bacon on paper towels and discard the fat from the pan. Add the butter to the pan, and then add the potato and yellow onion. Cook over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the onion starts to brown and the potato is tender but firm. Add the jalapeno pepper and cook for 30 seconds.

When the potato is cooked, add the bacon to the pan and pour over the egg mixture. Place the pan in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until the omelet puffs and the eggs are almost cooked in the center. Sprinkle with a handful of grated Cheddar and bake for another minute. Serve hot directly from the pan.

1 cup leftover mashed potatoes
1 tablespoon salsa

Tips:

  • Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach will give your omelette a vibrant green color and a slightly bitter flavor. If you only have frozen spinach, thaw it completely and squeeze out any excess water before using.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: The potatoes should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to them. Overcooked potatoes will be mushy and unpleasant.
  • Use a non-stick skillet: This will help prevent the omelette from sticking and tearing.
  • Cook the omelette over medium heat: This will help prevent the eggs from burning and ensure that the omelette is cooked evenly.
  • Don't flip the omelette too often: Flipping the omelette too often will break it up and make it difficult to cook evenly.
  • Let the omelette rest before serving: This will allow the eggs to set and the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

This spinach and potato baked omelette is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's packed with healthy ingredients and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try!
