Tomato & Spinach Omelet

 
I make a lot of omelets in this house!  Mostly because we have chickens, and most of the time we have lots of eggs to use up.  Since my husband travels a couple of days a week for work, I will often times cook myself an omelet for dinner.  I love this time of year because I can pick the tomatoes from the garden, and use my own homegrown onions.  Using the eggs from our chickens makes this meal almost completely homemade, which I love!  There's nothing like throwing together a meal without even needing to purchase anything from the store.

This omelet is my favorite, and is the one I make most of the time.  If I don't have spinach I will use broccoli, and of course you can throw any other veggies you want in there, like mushrooms and/or peppers.  Another thing you can substitute is the cheese - if you use goat cheese you will have the most AMAZING omelet ever!!  Unfortunately, I hardly ever have goat cheese on hand but definitely try it if you like it because it's what takes a really good omelet and turns it into the best omelet you've ever had!  If you do use goat cheese, a little sprinkled evenly inside the omelet is all you need - you don't want to add a 1/4 cup because it would just be too much.



Tomato & Spinach Omelet  (serves 1)
2 eggs, beaten together with a tbsp of water
8 cherry tomatoes, cut in half lengthwise
1/4 frozen spinach, thawed & drained (feel free to use fresh spinach) 
2 tbsp onion, chopped
1/4 tsp garlic, chopped
1/8 cup Montery Jack cheese, shredded
1/8 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
2 tbsp butter

Melt butter on medium-low heat in a medium size skillet.  Add onion and saute until translucent.  Add tomato and spinach and cook for a couple of minutes, or until tomatoes start to wilt.  Add the garlic, and cook for another minute.  Turn the heat down to low and add the eggs, making sure to coat the pan evenly.  Allow to cook until the eggs look mostly cooked thru, then sprinkle your cheese evenly over the eggs.  Cover pan with lid for a couple of minutes until cheese is mostly melted, then fold 1/2 of the omelet over onto the other 1/2.  Turn off the heat & place the lid back on.  Let set for a 1-2 minutes, the remove from pan.  Season with salt and pepper and serve hot.

  3. What the heck do those comments have to do with a spinach/tomato omlette? I was expecting constructive comments about the subject matter. What I would do is bake this recipe in muffin tins (perhaps with a hash brown crust) and freeze them individually for a quick breakfast!

  5. Claudia I agree with you 100%. If you are not going to comment on the post then get your own posting site and you can comment all you want to. Now to the subject at hand. My husband enjoyed this enough to request having it again. I'm not really an egg eater but this was very tasty. Thanks for sharing. (By the way- can you delete all the messages that don't pertain to your post? They are really annoying.) Thanks again for sharing.

  7. This dish is great for a pregnant woman and her developing baby. It's rich in protein and laced with vitamins A and C, folic acid, and magnesium.

  10. I want to tell the world about a great man called Dr. Robinson buckler cured my husband and I from Herpes simplex with herbal medicine. My husband and I have was suffering from Herpes simplex for the past four (4) years. We have tried so many solutions with no result. One fateful day while browsing through the internet I saw a testimony of a client who got cured from herpes by Dr. Robinson buckler through herbal medicine so I decided to give a try. A try that changed our life for good. I contacted Dr. Robinson buckler and he sent some herbal medicine to us, which we took for 14 days. It was a great surprise when we went for a test and the test result came out negative., Dr. Robinson buckler brought joy into my family again. His result is 100% guaranteed. certainly the best online. YESS! SO.MUCH.YES. I love this, it’s exactly what i prayed for!.. it’s unbelievable! ....Thank you!! Very well!.. You contact him on his email. [Robinson.buckler@yahoo.com].....
