How to make it

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a dish of about 20 × 25 cm with the oil.
  2. Cook the spinach in the butter in a frying pan for 2–3 minutes, until it wilts. Let the liquid evaporate, then let the spinach cool and chop it roughly.
  3. Beat the eggs with the sour cream, salt and pepper. Stir in the spinach and half of the cheddar.
  4. Pour into the dish and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake for 18–22 minutes, until the centre is set.
  5. Leave for 5 minutes before cutting into portions. Serve with a salad or cucumbers.

For a tender texture, take the omelette out as soon as the centre is set. The values per serving do not include bread or salad.
