Few notes on ingredients
Eggs
Use fresh organic eggs if you can.
Cheese
Any cheese that will melt in should be fine in this recipe, but I particularly like cheddar cheese. Smoked cheese would also be great in this recipe.
Spinach
Use fresh or frozen spinach or extra parsley or chives if you don’t have spinach at hand.
Sausage
The sausage should be already cooked, fried or barbecued, which makes this recipe handy for any leftovers. You can use any kind of sausage, I particularly like game sausages, pork & apple or spicey chorizo.
How to make Sausage, cheese & spinach omelette recipe
To prepare the spinach, heat up a frying pan to a medium heat, add vegetable oil and hand full of fresh spinach.
Cook over medium heat until spinach is wilted. Remove from the frying pan and keep for later.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg together.
Add a pinch of pepper and salt to the egg mixture.
Add the grated cheese and stir in.
Turn your frying pan on low to medium heat, add more vegetable oil or butter and pour over the egg mixture.
Cut the sausage into smaller pieces.
Sprinkle the sausage pieces and the cooked spinach over the omelette and let everything cook for about 3-5 minutes or until the bottom of your omelette is golden. You can fold over the omelette and turn it to cook more evenly.
Serve with extra salad and fresh herbs garnish or add crusty homemade bread with butter
How to serve your omelette
This omelette recipe is quite filling on it’s own, but it’s always nice to serve it with some salad or herbs.
I sometimes add my homemade cottage cheese with chives or my vegan cottage cheese recipe to add extra protein (and flavour, of course!).
If you want to make the omelette into a full meal, you can also serve with some homemade crusty bread or potato flat breads with freshly made butter.
