Tips & Tricks
For a fluffier omelette, whisk the egg whites until slightly frothy before mixing with the other ingredients.
Use fresh spinach for the best flavor and texture, but frozen spinach can be a convenient substitute if drained well.
To prevent sticking, ensure the skillet is well-heated and lightly greased with olive oil before adding the mixture.
