Equipment

For this recipe we blend the eggs with spinach and herbs. Therefore, you need to have a food processor or a blender. I used a small chopper.

Also, making the omelet would be much easier if you use a good quality non-stick cooking pan with a lid. Finally, you are going to need a heat resistant spatula to help you with flipping the omelet and taking it out of the pan.

Helpful tips about making the Green Goddess Omelet

Use a non-stick pan with a lid to cook the Asian omelet. I used a Green Pan. This blog post is not sponsored, and the link is not affiliated. I just love their pans.

Grease the pan before you add the egg mixture. Make sure that you spread the oil on the bottom and the sides of the pan. You can also use non-tick cooking spray. I used a tablespoon of avocado oil, but you can use an oil that you prefer.

Preheat the pan to medium low temperature before adding the eggs. Once you add them reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid for about a minute.

High heat will cook the eggs too fast. This will burn the omelet on the bottom but the top part it is going to remain runny.

I had some microgreens in the refrigerator, so I decided to top my omelet with them. I also sliced and avocado on the side for some healthy fats. Some soft cheese like feta or goat cheese might be a great topping for this omelet, but I didn’t have any at the moment. As always, you can add toppings that you like.
