Mozzarella Spinach Omelette

I am infatuated.

Pan fried cheese is just sooooooo great! It has this very subtle burnt taste and smell to it. Just that little burn-y taste goes a long way to an otherwise plain omelette.

Boys dislike egg yolk actually. They won't touch the yolk if you serve them hard-boiled eggs. Annoying coz I'd be the one to finish up the remains of the white-less egg. Not that wise for a middle aged lady, ya?

So the only way to make them finish their eggs is to fry it omelette-style. And the better way to make them ask for more is to serve it warm with melted cheese. Mozzarella to be exact.

This time, I diced fresh baby spinach to shreds and bits and mix it generously with grated mozzarella cheese and fry them in the egg. A little bit of skill is required to get the perfect flip of the omelette without breaking it to million pieces. Other than that, this is fanta-bulous!

Here's what you'd need:

* 2 eggs
* 1 cup of diced baby spinach
* 1 cup of grated mozzarella cheese
* Salt and Pepper to taste

This is what I did:

1. Beat the eggs in a bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste. In a separate bowl, mix spinach and mozzarella together.

2. In a pan of heated oil over small fire, fry the egg. Swirl the pan to make a big round circled egg.

3. When the egg is almost set, add in the spinach-mozzarella mix on one half of the round egg.

4. With a stick-proof spatula, flip the other half of the egg over the spinach-mozzarella half and press gently to 'seal', especially round the corners and edge. Let it stand over the fire for a minute or two.

5. Gently flip the semi-circle egg over. Fry till both sides are golden brown.

6. Dish up and serve warm.

NB... I find small and low fire works best. You get the best flip with such heat. Flip the egg only when it has set and looks slightly hardened and cooked. Any earlier, you may risk tearing the omelette apart. To flip the semi-circle egg that has been filled with the vegetable and cheese, you may need the help of another spatula / chopsticks. Coz of the low fire, chances of a burnt omelette -- zilch.
