Scale
Egg Mixture
- 6 large Eggs (Fresh eggs provide structure and protein.)
- 1/2 cup Milk (Feel free to use dairy-free alternative.)
- 1/4 cup Flour (Use gluten-free flour for gluten-free option.)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Pepper (Adjust to taste.)
Filling
- 2 cups Spinach (Fresh, well-drained spinach.)
- 1/4 cup Scallions (Chopped green onions for crunch.)
- 1 cup Shredded White Cheddar Cheese (Can substitute with dairy-free cheese.)
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Eggs and Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs with the milk, flour, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

- Slice and Serve: Slice the rolled omelet into 1-inch pieces and serve warm for a wholesome breakfast or snack.
