Paleo-Friendly Ham and Spinach Omelet
Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 cup diced cooked ham
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 1/4 cup chopped onions
- 1 small tomato, diced
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Fresh herbs for garnishing (optional, parsley or chives work great)
Preparation:
Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients
Begin by preparing all the necessary ingredients. Chop the onions, dice the tomato, and if your ham is not already diced, make sure to do so. Wash the spinach and set aside to dry. Cracking the eggs into a mixing bowl, add the unsweetened almond milk, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Whisk this mixture until the eggs are fully blended and frothy.
Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables
Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté for about 2 minutes until they start to become translucent. Next, add the diced tomato and fresh spinach leaves. Sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts and the tomatoes soften. Transfer the veggies to a plate and set aside.
Step 3: Cook the Omelet
In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil over medium-low heat. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and allow it to cook gently. Use a spatula to pull the cooked edges toward the center, allowing the uncooked eggs to run to the edges of the pan.
Step 4: Add the Filling
Once the omelet starts to set but is still slightly runny on top, evenly distribute the sautéed vegetable mixture over half of the omelet. Sprinkle the diced ham over the vegetables. Allow the omelet to cook for another minute or so, just until the eggs set completely.
Step 5: Fold and Serve
Carefully fold the omelet over the filling with your spatula, forming a half-moon shape. Let it cook for another minute to warm through, then gently slide it out of the skillet onto a serving plate. Garnish with freshly chopped herbs, if desired.
