Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1

    Wash the spinach well and chop it roughly; halve the cherry tomatoes. Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Saute the cherry tomatoes for 1-2 minutes first, then add the spinach and cook for a few minutes until it wilts slightly.

  3. 3

    Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the vegetables and sprinkle the crumbled white cheese on top.

  4. 4

    Lower the heat, cover the pan, and cook for about 6-8 minutes until the eggs are fully set and the edges turn lightly golden.

  5. 5

    Cut the omelet in half and serve warm. If you like, round it out with whole-grain bread and plenty of greens on the side.

🌱 Why is it nourishing?

Eggs and white cheese bring the protein your table needs during breastfeeding, while spinach is a green rich in iron and folate. The vitamin C in cherry tomatoes may help your body make better use of plant-based iron. Olive oil rounds the meal into a balanced, satisfying plate, and it takes only a few minutes to prepare.
