Description

Imagine starting your day with a dish that's both comforting and invigorating – an omelette transformed into a culinary experience. This isn't just any omelette; it's a delicate dance of creamy, savory, and subtly earthy flavors, all nestled within a fluffy egg blanket. Picture this: a generous swirl of rich cream cheese melting into the warm embrace of the cooked eggs, creating a velvety texture that coats your palate with each bite.

The salty, delicate slices of thinly cured ham provide a wonderful counterpoint to the creaminess, their savory notes awakening your taste buds. Tender baby spinach, wilted just enough to release its earthy sweetness, adds a layer of freshness and vibrant color to the ensemble. The cooking process is key to achieving the perfect texture.

The omelette begins its journey on the stovetop, where the bottom sets to a golden-yellow perfection. Then, it moves to the oven. This ensures the top cooks gently without browning.

This method yields a uniformly cooked omelette, puffed up and pillowy, with a custardy interior that practically melts in your mouth. Whether enjoyed as a leisurely breakfast or a satisfying lunch, this omelette is a versatile dish that pairs beautifully with a variety of accompaniments. Consider serving it alongside a crisp green salad, dressed with a light vinaigrette, to add a refreshing contrast to the richness of the omelette.

Alternatively, steamed green beans, lightly seasoned with salt and pepper, offer a simple yet elegant side dish that complements the flavors perfectly. Each forkful offers a symphony of textures and tastes, from the smooth cream cheese and savory ham to the tender spinach and the light, airy eggs. It's a dish that's both satisfying and refined, perfect for those mornings when you want something a little bit special or a midday meal that feels both indulgent and nourishing.

It is easily customizable to your liking. You can substitute the ham with bacon or sausage or add other toppings such as sauteed mushrooms, onions, or peppers.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
    2.
    Add the eggs to a large mixing bowl and season with salt and pepper. Beat well to combine.
    3.
    Roughly chop the spinach and tear the prosciutto into bite-sized chunks. Add to the bowl with the eggs and beat everything together well to combine.
    4.
    Melt the butter in an oven-proof skillet over a medium/high heat. Add the egg mixture and dot half teaspoons of the cream cheese roughly around the pan.
    5.
    Leave the egg to settle for a minute. As the egg begins to cook around the edges, use a spatula to bring the cooked egg towards the center of the skillet allowing the uncooked egg to flow into the gaps.
    6.
    Once the omelette is around 2/3 cooked through, with some liquid still remaining on top, transfer to the oven to bake for 8-10 minutes until cooked through and golden brown all over.
