Of all the dishes that are most often prepared in the home kitchen, scrambled eggs are the most common. All this is due to the ease of preparation of such a dish and the availability of ingredients. But it is quite possible to make it much more interesting and, most importantly, tasty, using a non-standard set of products and a baking scheme. For this reason, it’s worthwhile to figure out how to cook a delicious omelet in order to please yourself and your loved ones with an unusual breakfast? We will analyze the ten best recipes that everyone can cook.
10. Omelet with spinach
This is one of the easiest recipes, since the only “new" ingredient to buy is spinach. It’s always nice to add some new colors to a standard dish, and greens with a bright color of egg yolk will look especially good. Such an omelet is prepared, both in a pan and in the oven. We will first analyze a simpler cooking method using a frying pan.
For this you need:
- From 3 eggs (depending on the number of people);
- 200 ml of milk;
- A bunch of spinach (can be used, both fresh and frozen);
- Tomato and salt with pepper according to personal preference;
First you need to mix milk and eggs, whisking the mixture well until smooth. Then salt, pepper and, directly, spinach are added there. Before pouring it all into a pan, you need to warm it and grease with butter, and only then start cooking. In order to slightly expand the taste range, you can add a tomato to the dish by cutting it with rings and putting everything on top of a slightly frozen omelet. Cooking time takes about 10 minutes, until the mixture completely hardens.
Alternatively, such an omelet is cooked in the oven. However, it should be understood that this will take more time. The set of products is the same as the steps of mixing them. Only for cooking, a special round shape is used (you can take silicone), which is also lubricated with butter. Already in an oven preheated to 180 degrees, a mold with a mixture is placed. Readiness can be checked by the elasticity of the omelet. Often, he manages to bake in 15 - 20 minutes.

The most interesting thing in this dish is the cooking procedure. Let's analyze it step by step:

- the yolks are mixed with milk and salt, after which they are evenly mixed;
- then you need to pour the yolks into an already heated and greased pan and start cooking them, but at the same time treat the proteins in advance, as described in the next paragraph;
- the protein needs to be beaten to a state of foam (not as much as for a cream);
- when the yolk has already hardened in a pan, you need to pour whipped proteins onto this “pancake”;
- at the moment when the protein also hardens a little and can keep its shape, it is necessary to cut an almost finished omelet in half and turn it over so that the protein is fried from above to a pleasant-looking crust. The dish is ready.
Of course, you can decorate everything with herbs and tomatoes - which is enough for imagination. But most importantly, with such a simple set of products, anyone will be able to do something special.
