Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a small bowl, whisk the 3 eggs with 0.25 tsp salt and 0.25 tsp black pepper until the yolks and whites are fully combined, about 30 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Heat a 9 inch nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt the 1 tbsp butter, tilting the pan to coat the bottom evenly.

  3. Step 3

    Add the 1 cup spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring, until wilted, about 2 minutes. Spread the spinach evenly over the pan.

  4. Step 4

    Pour the beaten eggs over the spinach. Let them set without stirring for 1 minute, then gently push the cooked edges toward the center with a spatula, tilting the pan to let uncooked egg flow underneath.

  5. Step 5

    When the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top, sprinkle the 0.5 cup cheddar cheese over one half of the omelette.

  6. Step 6

    Fold the other half over the cheese with the spatula. Cook for 1 more minute until the cheese melts and the omelette is golden, then slide onto a plate.

  7. Step 7

    Top with the 1 sliced tomato and 2 tbsp chopped basil before serving.
