ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 59.14 ml whole milk
- 1 bunch fresh spinach
- 1 small yellow onions or 1 small shallot
- 1.23-2.46 ml ground nutmeg
- 59.16 ml butter
- 113.39 g cream cheese, at room temp
- 14.79 ml fresh lemon juice

- Whip the cream cheese with lemon juice and zest if using; set aside.
- Dice onion or shallot; set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat melt 2 tbsp of the butter.

- Melt the remaining 1-2 tbsp butter in the same pan over medium heat.
- Whip the eggs well with the whole milk and pour into the hot pan.
- Allow eggs to cook slowly, allowing eggs to almost set completely.

- Fold the omelette over, turn off heat and let stand for 3 minutes.
- Serve.

I dont know what it was, but there was way too much filling. I only used half of the cream cheese mixture and it was still too much. I would just suggest using half of everything or adding more eggs. I forgot the nutmeg, but added cheddar cheese and it ended up tasting really good - but it was a bit overkill halfway through eating it.

I made this recipe as followed and it was outstanding! The only differences: I had to halve the recipe for one. The recipe had no problem being halved and tasted great! Next time, I might try to make the omelette a little healthier by either reducing the butter or cooking in spray canola oil. Otherwise I wouldn't change a thing! Thanks for the excellent recipe DiB!
