- Use a high-quality non-stick pan to ensure the delicate egg whites do not tear when flipping.
- You can substitute spinach with kale or add a tablespoon of crumbled feta cheese if you prefer a dairy version.
- Keep the cooked vegetables warm in a low-temperature oven while you prepare each individual omelet.
