1 piece (medium) of Spinach Omelette (120 g) has 144 calories. That works out to 120 calories per 100 g. It contains 3 g of carbs, 11.4 g of protein, 9 g of fat and 1.3 g of fiber. Its 216 µg of Vitamin K covers 180% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 30 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
A spinach omelette is made by cooking beaten eggs with spinach, then folding the set mixture into a soft, golden parcel. It is a familiar home-cooked dish in many places rather than one tied to a single origin, and can be made with fresh or cooked spinach.
The eggs bring a tender, savoury texture, while spinach adds a mild, leafy flavour. Serve it warm for breakfast or a quick lunch; it also pairs easily with toast, salad or tomatoes. It is a protein-rich choice with relatively few carbohydrates. For a lighter version, use only a little cooking oil and let cooked spinach drain well before adding it, so the omelette stays tender rather than watery.

How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

To make a Spinach Omelette, briefly cook chopped spinach in a pan, then pour in beaten eggs. Cook over medium-low heat until the eggs are set, fold the omelette, and serve it warm.
Yes, cook the spinach briefly before adding the eggs. This releases excess moisture and keeps the Spinach Omelette from turning watery. Let the leaves wilt, but there is no need to cook them until completely soft.
Yes, frozen spinach works in a Spinach Omelette. Thaw it first and squeeze out as much water as possible; otherwise, the excess moisture can make the eggs loose and soggy.
Feta, cheddar, and goat cheese all pair well with a Spinach Omelette. Crumble or grate the cheese into the eggs or over the wilted spinach, and use less added salt if the cheese is already salty.
Remove excess water from the spinach before adding the eggs. Drain washed leaves well, cook them until their released liquid evaporates, and thaw and squeeze frozen spinach thoroughly before using it.
Yes, you can eat a Spinach Omelette cold if it has been refrigerated promptly. Keep leftovers covered in the fridge and eat them within a few days; discard the omelette if it has been left at room temperature for too long.
Mushrooms, diced tomatoes, spring onions, and herbs such as dill or parsley work well in a Spinach Omelette. Cook watery vegetables first so they do not release liquid into the eggs.
For a fluffy Spinach Omelette, beat the eggs until the whites and yolks are combined, then cook them gently over medium-low heat. Avoid overfilling the pan with spinach, which can weigh down the eggs.
A Spinach Omelette can be prepared ahead, though it tastes best freshly cooked. Refrigerate it in a covered container soon after cooking, then reheat until steaming hot or serve it cold while it is still within its safe storage time.
Yes, baby spinach is a convenient choice for a Spinach Omelette because its leaves are tender and need little chopping. Wash and dry them well, then wilt them briefly in the pan before adding the eggs.
