How do I make this apple omelette?

hands massaging kale over a cutting board

Prepare the produce by removing kale leaves from 2 stalks. Next, massage leaves by rubbing them between your hands to soften them.

Expert Tip: add a pinch of salt to the kale before you massage it with your hands, this will help soften the kale even more.

chopped kale and apples on a cutting board

Rip up or chop kale into bite sized pieces. Chop 1/2 apple into bite sized pieces. Set aside.

Expert Tip: Use a really crisp apple like honeycrisp, braeburn, or a crisp fuji apple.

cracked eggs and milk in a bowl

Add 1 tbsp milk and salt/pepper to eggs, whisk together until mixture is smooth.

Spray hot pan with cooking spray, then pour egg mixture into pan. Once eggs have began to cook, cover egg mixture evenly with kale, apple, and cheese. Cook until eggs are cooked through and cheese is melted.

Slide a rubber spatula under egg mixture to make sure it doesn’t stick to the sides of the pan.

FAQ

What’s the difference between an omelet & an omelette?

There’s no difference in the actual omelette, omelette is the modern French spelling, and omelet is the American English spelling. Sometimes I feel fancy & want to spell it the French way. It probably won’t last long.

I don’t have sharp cheddar cheese, can I use another type of cheese?

The sharp cheddar cheese is great in this dish because it’s sharpness pairs nicely with the buttery eggs, but if you don’t have sharp cheddar on hand medium cheddar would be a good alternative. Also, there are a few recipes online with goat cheese instead, that sounds delicious too!
