Spinach Omelette - home made


Thinking on eating healthy for dinner? No? Me too actually - but since I have a bunch of spinach that will soon turning bad if not consumed, so I might as well use it for something right. So then I was thinking - hey, you know what, I still have some eggs and bacon, so I think I make spinach omelette instead.

The ingredients are:
  • Large quantity of spinach, wash first with cooked running water and mince into small bits
  • Eggs - 3 pieces of it, break into bowl and whisk
  • 3 slices of beef or pork bacon, cut into small pieces
  • garlic - 2 clove should be enough
  • onion if necessary
  • couple of pinch of salt... or make it 1/2 of teaspoon
  • ground black pepper - also 1/2 of teaspoon
  • You can add cheese if you want - but I don't use it
  • 1/2 tbsp. of olive oil
Here's how you do it - stir the eggs with the spinach in the bowl. Stir it well - a secret of good and tasty omelette is from the tenderness of the eggs. By whisking or stirring it long should acquire more air into the mixture and making the eggs more tender when cooked. So before mixing the spinach, make sure you stir or whisk the eggs well. Add salt and pepper if necessary into the mixture. Now heat the oil on the pan, and start cooking the garlic and onion with medium to high heat. After the garlic and onion turn a bit brownish, put the heat to medium or low, and start cook those bacons. I try not to overcook it, so after about 2-3 minutes into cooking and stirring on the pan, I start put the egg and spinach mixture into the pan. You can also add cheese if you like - but I'm not using it on this recipe. This is the trick to cook the good omelette, since you want to flip it into two and more, you should play with the heat on the right timing. I start with medium heat and continue it until about 2-3 minutes when the edges started to look a bit yellow brown-ish. Then I turn the heat to low and continue cooking it for another minute, then I fold the both edge into near the center, and then later fold it again. Continue with low heat until you think it's thicken enough, then flipped the cooked egg to the other side for another minute. 



I use this recipe and it makes a good portion for two - or one if you're hungry enough. :)
