Omelets are such a great way to pack in a lot of nutritional deliciousness all in a nice little egg dish, and this Cheesy Greens Omelet is one of my favorites.

I like to think I eat a lot of greens, but honestly, I don't. However, it's so easy to toss in a variety of greens into any egg dish, whether you're making scrambled eggs, or a larger breakfast casserole!

This is as fun little omelet that you can actually roll up without it cracking in half.

Ingredients

In this omelet I chose to add:

• Collard Greens- option to replace with beet greens or mustard greens.
• Spinach- option to replace with kale. Fresh spinach works better than frozen.
• Chard- rainbow is my favorite!
• Rembrandt Aged Gouda- option to use any preferred cheese but best if it's not too greasy.
• Milk- any fat percentage will work.
• Olive oil-or another high-heat safe oil.
• Eggs- I haven't tried this omelet with only egg whites and it might not hold together as well. This recipe works great with using previously frozen blended eggs!
