Spinach Sausage Omelet Recipe
Whenever spinach meets eggs, tasty foods are born. Spinach in itself is not an extremely delicious meal, but since it’s so healthy, many people tried to mix it with various other foods in order to create more acceptable combinations, and this is how today we could write a think recipes book based on spinach, eggs and various ingredients. This recipe makes a healthy breakfast and it’s very easy to prepare.
Ingredients:
- 2-3 eggs
- 1/2 sausage, smoked or not, depending on your taste
- 1 ounce frozen spinach, thawed (canned or fresh spinach is also good)
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil (actually any cooking oil will do, but extra virgin is healthier because it’s obtained by pressing the olives at cold)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation time: 3 minutes
Total omelet cooking time: 10 minutes
Preparation:
Cut the sausage in small pieces, trying to make them even, so they get all cooked in the same time. In a frying pan, heat the olive oil, then cook the sausage pieces for about 2-3 minutes, until they start to get a darker color. Beware not to overdo this, because if you burn the sausage it will get a horrible taste and it will borrow it to your whole omelet. After the sausage is cooked, take it out and let it drip the oil. Beat the eggs in a bowl, then prepare the omelet as usual, in the omelet pan, if you have one, or in a regular frying pan. When the omelet is almost done, carefully put the sausage pieces on half of its surface and fold the other half on top of it. Let it cook for one more minute, then put it on a plate and serve hot, with picked cucumbers. A nice variation of this spinach sausage omelet recipe: after the omelet is on the plate, top it with a teaspoon of sour cream and sprinkle some dill over it.
Sausage Omelet
Sausages can be very good when they are freshly cooked, but they don’t make such great leftover meals. Yet, an omelet may be the perfect solution to help you put your fridge in order and get rid of some food without throwing it away. Cooking with leftovers is perfectly fine, at least this is what we are told since early childhood. Don't spoil the food! Eat everything on your plate! Other people starve! Just how many times have we heard these things? Too many times perhaps, and now they are already rooted in our minds, making us search for leftover recipes. Here's one to help you:
Ingredients:
- 2-3 eggs
- A piece of yesterday’s sausage, cut in small slices
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup parsley leaves, finely chopped
- Salt and pepper
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Cooking procedure:
Saute the onion with the sausage in a heated frying pan, then set them aside and make a plain, simple omelet using the eggs mixed with salt and pepper. When it’s almost done, put the onion sausage mix on half on the omelet and fold the other half over it, then cook it for one more minute. Sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve hot, with tomatoes and cheese salad. Variant: instead of a filled omelet, you can make it the frittata style, by adding the sauteed onions and sausage into the eggs mixture before cooking it. Optionally, you can serve it with salsa or with sour cream.
