Ingredients

• 3 eggs
• 100g ricotta
• 50g spinach
• 1 tbsp butter

Method

You’ll need: frying pan · mixing bowl · spatula

1. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them thoroughly with a fork.
2. Let the butter foam in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat.
3. Pour the eggs into the pan and let them set on the underside for about 3 min.
4. Dot the ricotta over one half of the omelette and lay the spinach on top.
5. Fold the omelette over with a spatula and serve warm.

Good to know

A soft egg in the morning is a great start. The warm ricotta melts slightly inside and makes a creamy filling.

Swaps

Ricotta → cottage cheese (cottage cheese melts less, but brings a similar grainy texture and a little more protein to the pan).

Cooking tips

To stop the egg getting too dark underneath, turn the heat down as soon as the egg mixture is in the pan.

Storage

A finished omelette loses a lot of its texture as it cools. It's best eaten straight from the hot pan.
