Wilt the spinach in the pan until it releases water, then set aside; pour the whisked, salted eggs into the same pan.
Why? Cooking the spinach first drives off its water so the omelette doesn't turn soggy once folded.Next up:Once the edges set, scatter the spinach and cheese over half, fold and cook 1 more min until the cheese melts.
Once the edges set, scatter the spinach and cheese over half, fold and cook 1 more min until the cheese melts.
Why? Reduced-fat cheddar runs about 60% the calories of regular cheddar and still melts and stretches the same way.Watch out: Fold quickly — an overcooked omelette turns dry and rubbery.
