Spinach Omelette has a ton of greens in a regular omelette, keeping you full for longer as well as giving you a hearty serving of nutrient rich green leafy vegetables for breakfast.
I can eat omelettes for any meal. Leftover rotis from dinner make the perfect partner along with these omelettes. Add some sliced raw onions and coriander. Top with crunchy bean sprouts, roll it up and you have a filling breakfast with hardly any effort.
In this recipe for spinach omelette, I have added finely chopped garlic greens (chives) for an extra flavour boost. This was also because I had just harvested some garlic greens from my kitchen garden. I believe in using up all kinds of greens are best used on the same day for maximum freshness and flavour. I chopped the garlic greens finely and sautéed them with the spinach and green chillies and onions. Adding this to the egg mixture ensures that the greens are uniformly distributed throughout the omelette and not just sitting pretty on the top. Sautéing the garlic greens in oil also releases the garlicky aroma better than just stirring them in raw into the egg mixture.
If you happen to have baby spinach on hand, then by all means chop and add it to the eggs directly instead of sautéing as they cook in no time.
Another way to prepare spinach omelette is to make regular omelettes. Toss baby spinach in extra virgin olive oil and some feta cheese. Use this spinach stuffing in the omelette and fold it over.

Ingredients
Method
- To make spinach omelette, heat the oil in a non stick pan. Fry the finely chopped onions, spinach, garlic greens (or spring onions) and chillies for 3-4 minutes on a high flame.
- Meanwhile, crack the eggs in a bowl. Add the milk, black pepper and salt and whisk until you get a smooth mixture.
- Combine the sauteed greens mixture into the eggs, whisking it in quickly.
- Pour this mixture in the same pan and allow to cook on a medium heat. Once it looks nearly set, carefully turn it over to cook the other side.
- Use two spatulas to help turn the spinach omelette over. Or else, turn the omelette over into a dish and then slide it back into the pan to cook the other side.
- Serve hot as it is or with toast.
