Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 6 large Eggs (Fresh eggs provide structure and protein.)
- 1/2 cup Milk (Feel free to use dairy-free alternative.)
- 1/4 cup Flour (Use gluten-free flour for gluten-free option.)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Pepper (Adjust to taste.)
Filling
- 2 cups Spinach (Fresh, well-drained spinach.)
- 1/4 cup Scallions (Chopped green onions for crunch.)
- 1 cup Shredded White Cheddar Cheese (Can substitute with dairy-free cheese.)
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Eggs and Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, beat the six eggs with half a cup of milk, a quarter cup of flour, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Spinach, Scallions, and Cheese: Carefully fold in the cooked spinach, chopped scallions, and shredded white cheddar cheese to evenly distribute the ingredients without deflating the eggs.
- Pour Batter into Baking Sheet: Pour the omelet mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly to ensure even cooking.
- Bake the Omelet: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the omelet is fully set, slightly golden on top, and firm to the touch.
- Cool and Roll: Remove the omelet from the oven and allow it to cool for several minutes to make rolling easier and prevent cracking.
- Roll the Omelet: Carefully lift one edge of the omelet and roll it tightly but gently across to the other edge, forming a log shape.
- Slice and Serve: Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled omelet into 1-inch pieces and serve warm for a beautiful, eye-catching presentation.
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free flour instead of regular flour.
- Substitute dairy-free milk and cheese alternatives to make the dish lactose-free or vegan friendly with further ingredient adjustments.
- Ensure the spinach is well-drained to prevent excess moisture from making the omelet soggy.
- You can cook the spinach in advance by lightly sautéing or steaming.
- Use fresh scallions for best flavor and crunch.
- Allow the baked omelet to cool slightly before rolling to avoid cracking.
