Spinach Omelette

We start by preparing the baking dish for the omelette. Generously grease a 12x15 cm baking dish with butter, ensuring it is evenly coated. Then, dust the dish with flour so that the omelette does not stick. A great alternative is to use parchment paper; this will greatly ease the process of removing the omelette after baking. Once prepared, let the dish cool to stabilize.

Meanwhile, take a generous handful of fresh spinach. Wash it well under cold running water, removing any impurities. After cleaning, gently spin it dry using a kitchen towel or leave it in a colander to drain well. Cut the spinach into large pieces so that it retains its texture in the omelette.

In a non-stick skillet, add a tablespoon of oil and heat it over medium heat. Add the diced bacon and fry it until crispy. Then, add the finely chopped onion and continue to sauté for about 3 minutes until golden. After the onion has sautéed, add the spinach and stir constantly, allowing it to soften slightly and release its flavors. After a few minutes, remove the skillet from the heat and let the mixture cool.

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until fluffy and homogeneous. Add the spinach, bacon, and onion mixture to the bowl with the eggs, along with salt and pepper, mixing everything well. At this stage, you have the option to add other ingredients such as grated cheese or herbs to enhance the flavor.

Pour the obtained mixture into the prepared dish, ensuring it is evenly distributed. If you want to combine the omelette with another type, keep the mixture in the refrigerator until you are ready to bake it. This recipe is baked in a water bath, which gives it a soft and fluffy texture. In a bain-marie dish, add warm water up to the level of the omelette in the baking dish, then place everything in the preheated oven.

Bake for 25-35 minutes at a moderate heat or until the omelette is well cooked and slightly browned at the edges. Remove the dish from the oven and let the omelette cool completely. Once cooled, cut it into cubes or slices, depending on your preference, and arrange them creatively on a platter.

To add a festive touch, decorate the omelette with your favorite ingredients such as anchovy fillets, feta cheese, olives, or capers. This will transform the dish into a true visual and gastronomic feast. Enjoy this spinach omelette!
