Spinach Omelet

I am pretty much always looking for ways to fit more vegetables into our diets.  These omelets are delicious, quick, easy, and a side bonus-  we typically buy a bag of spinach at Aldi and use that for salads, so the rest of the bag that is about to go bad can easily get used up in these delicious omelets!

Spinach Omelets

Ingredients:

• 4-5 eggs
• Shredded cheddar cheese
• Spinach (or other veggies of your choice)
• Salt
• Pepper

Directions

1. Turn skillet on to medium heat on stove.
2. Crack open 4-5 eggs in a medium size bowel and whisk together.  You can use egg whites if you want or egg beaters.  
3. Use a small amount of butter to coat skillet when skillet is hot enough.
4. Pour eggs into skillet. Eggs should coat about 3mm deep of entire skillet diameter.
5. Quickly add in chopped up spinach (or veggies of your choice), sprinkle light coating of cheddar cheese over omelet.
6. Sprinkle small amount of salt and pepper over omelet.

Your cooking omelet should look like this in the beginning stages:

Once your omelet is almost done the eggs should look more gel like, not runny, and cheese should be thoroughly melted like this:

Use a rubber spatula to help flip one side of the omelet over and roll it up like this:

Finally, if you are a nice mom, cut off 1/4 of your omelet and share it with your always hungry toddler :) 

Abbie and I probably eat these once a week for lunch on one of my days off.  They are quick, cheap, and healthy.  I'm kind of anti most processed foods so you probably won't see egg beaters in our house...sorry!  Besides if I only use 4 eggs for one omelet and give a portion of it to Abbie, I've really only eaten 3 eggs plus a lot of veggies!

Do you guys have any go to lunch ideas that you love to use on a regular basis?

Blessings,
