I made one for my DH and one for me. I love fresh spinach sauteed so I knew I would love this. Great flavor. Thanks! Made for the Photo forum-French Food!

I don't know why I've never tried spinach on an omelet before--this is so good! As is my habit I did add the spinach & cheese a bit earlier, before taking it off the heat, so that the cheese would melt a bit more. Loved it!

Spinach and cheese omelets are one of my favorite things to order when we go out to breakfast.This was wonderful and so easy to make at home also. I did not use the sour cream. To be sure it melted, I let the cheese sit on the omelet in the pan for a few minutes to melt before removing to my plate. Delicious! Thanks, JQ.
