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 from the very basic ones to the more gourmet type of sausages. 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.

How do you prevent the omelette from sticking to the pan?
To prevent the omelette from sticking to the pan, you need to make sure that the pan is well-greased or non-stick. Here are some tips to prevent sticking:
- Use a non-stick pan or a well-seasoned cast-iron pan
- Heat the pan over medium heat before adding the eggs
- Add a generous amount of butter or oil to the pan before adding the eggs
- Swirl the pan to distribute the butter or oil evenly
- Use a silicone spatula to gently lift the edges of the omelette from the pan as it cooks .
- If the omelette is sticking, use a spatula to gently loosen it from the pan
- Avoid using high heat, as this can cause the eggs to stick and burn
How do you know when the omelette is cooked?
The best way to know when an omelette is cooked is to look at the texture and color of the egg. The omelette should be fully cooked, but not overcooked or browned. The top of the omelette should be set and not runny, while the bottom should be golden brown and not burned.
You can also use a spatula to gently lift the edges of the omelette and check if the bottom is cooked and golden brown. It’s important not to overcook the omelette, as it can become dry and tough.
What other ingredients can you add to the sausage omelette?
There are many ingredients that you can add to a sausage omelette to customize the flavor and make it more delicious. Here are my favourite ingredients you can add to a sausage omelette to make it extra special:
- Cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, feta, etc.)
- Vegetables (spinach, mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, etc.)
- Herbs (parsley, chives, thyme, etc.)
- Spices (black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, etc.)
- Hot sauce or salsa
- Cooked bacon or ham
- Avocado or guacamole – great as a topping
- Sour cream or crème fraîche – great as a topping
- Green onions or scallions
- Jalapeños or other peppers
How to serve your sausage 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, gratin potatoes or potato flat breads with freshly made butter.
I also find that most of the side dishes from my suggestion list of what to serve with sausages goes well with this sausage omelette too.
How long can you keep omelette in the fridge for?
If you can’t finish your omelette in one go, you can keep an omelette in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. It’s important to store the omelette in an airtight container or wrap it tightly with plastic wrap to prevent contamination and to keep it fresh for as long as possible.
Can you freeze sausage omelette?
Yes, you can freeze an omelette made with sausage, cheese, and spinach, providing that none of the ingredients were not previously frozen. It’s a great way to prep ahead for busy mornings, and when stored properly, a frozen omelette will hold up well in the freezer without significant changes in its taste or texture.
To freeze an omelette, first, let it cool properly before placing it in the freezer. Once the omelette is fully cooled, you can wrap it with plastic wrap, making sure to give it enough layers and ensure that the egg dish is fully covered.
You can also use freezer-safe containers or resealable plastic bags. An omelette can last in the freezer for up to two to three months.
When it comes to thawing a frozen omelette, the most recommended method is to transfer it from the freezer to the refrigerator and let it thaw overnight. Alternatively, you can also use a microwave (on defrost setting) or on full power for 20 seconds at a time (check and turn or move the omelette to make sure that it defrosts and heats up evenly).
