Ingredients

  • Olive oil, for pan
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • Coarse salt and ground pepper
  • 2 packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar (6 ounces)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush a 10-by-15-inch rimmed baking sheet or jelly-roll pan with oil. Line bottom of pan with parchment, leaving a 1-inch overhang on the two shorter sides. Brush parchment with oil.

  2. In a bowl, whisk together milk and flour. Add eggs, mustard, 1 teaspoon salt, and teaspoon pepper; whisk to combine. Pour into pan. Sprinkle spinach over top in an even layer.

  3. Bake until edges of omelet are set, 10 to 12 minutes. Sprinkle with cheddar; bake until cheese has melted, 2 to 4 minutes. Beginning at one shorter end, lift parchment, and roll up omelet tightly, peeling back parchment as you go. Slice and serve.

    I made this for my husband and I for Sunday brunch - what a waste of money. First, it didn't set well enough to roll properly. I don't know what went wrong there but I think it's too much spinach and cheese and not enough egg. Definitely needs more time in the oven. Second, you could taste the flour. I don't know what purpose the flour was supposed to serve. Looked awful, tasted just as bad.

    The day I made this my oven stopped working--I ran to my neighbor and she baked it for me and the end result was still wonderful. There are only 2 of us and I just cut off when I needed for the next few days. This makes such a beautiful presentation, I am sure even spinach haters would love it.

    Sounds wonderful for having guests over, I would also serve a tomato and fresh basil salad with it. You can also make the omlet with diced fresh tomatoes, feta cheese and fresh basil. Yummy!

    If you don't like spinach you could use anything you would normally use in an omelet - mushrooms, cheese and ham, etc.

    What could I substitute for the spinach? My kids don't like it.

    This is great! Really Great! The only thing I will do differently next time is add one package of spinach instead of two. The possibilities here are endless, you could add anything to this I would imagine. Next time I think I'll try some tomatoes, ham and leftover hash browns.
