Instructions

  1. Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a non-stick skillet over high heat. Swirl to coat, then pour in whisked eggs with salt and pepper. Immediately reduce heat to low and swirl to coat the pan bottom.

  2. Push the cooked egg from the edges towards the center with a spatula, tilting the pan to let uncooked egg flow underneath. Cook for 1-2 minutes on low heat until mostly set, avoiding browning.

  3. Slightly warm the shredded chicken. Add the warm chicken, gruyere, and spinach to one half of the omelet. Cook for 30 seconds.

  4. Fold the other half of the omelet over the filling. Cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until cheese melts.

  5. Serve with a spinach salad and crusty bread.
