Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 5 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons full-fat milk
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 1 ½ cup baby spinach
- 1 tablespoon ghee or Coconut Oil
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- a few handfuls fresh mint, roughly chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- Heat the olive oil in a large, non-stick sauté pan over medium-low heat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and parmesan cheese with a fat pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and let it set for a few seconds. Every so often, pull the slightly set edges into the middle with a spatula.
- Once the omelet is mostly set, place the baby spinach on one half and fold the other half over it, forming a half-moon. Cook for a few seconds more, just until the omelet is crispy on the outside, yet loose and creamy in the middle.
- In the meantime, heat the ghee or coconut oil in a smaller sauté pan and add in the peas and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, just until the peas are warmed through and the garlic is fragrant, around 4-5 minutes. Generously season with salt and pepper.
- Divide the omelet between two plates and serve with warmed peas and fresh mint. Enjoy!
