How To Make spinach cheese omelette

  • 1
    Beat the egg whites, egg and salt together lightly. Add pepper.
  • 2
    Heat a nonstick omelette pan (5" to 6") or a small nonstick saute pan to medium/high heat.
  • 3
    Coat the pan with nonstick cooking spray and pour in all the egg mixture.
  • 4
    While tilting the pan, lightly stir the mixture with the flat part of a fork until most of the egg has thickened.
  • 5
    Put the pan directly on the heat for another 20 to 30 seconds to set the eggs.
  • 6
    Top (mostly in the middle) with the cheese and spinach.
  • 7
    Use a nonmetal spatula to immediately lift under the edges and fold the omelette in half while sliding it out of the pan onto a plate.
  • 8
    Garnish with parsley.
