Spinach and Cheese Omelet

If you’re looking for a really quick, easy, and nutritious breakfast, then this Spinach & Cheese Omelet is it.  Now, I have never gotten the hang of making omelets in a skillet.  I have to be honest and say I’ve only tried a handful of times, but each time, it’s turned out really bad.  So when I came across this recipe a few months ago in which I can actually make an omelet in the microwave, I was thrilled!  

Obviously this recipe calls for cheese; however, I know there are some folks who eat clean that do not eat cheese.  I still eat cheese and it’s just one of those “life’s little pleasures” that I am not willing to give up.  I only eat cheese maybe twice a week, sometimes three times per week.  If you don’t eat cheese, you could add tomato instead or any other ingredient you choose.

Enjoy!
