If you live in a part of the word with long drawn out winters, then you probably get how I’m feeling right about now.

Well, I’m super happy to announce that you can prepare the batter for this omelette in advance and store it in the fridge. (Aka if your pressed for time in the morning and looking at this recipe thinking “I don’t have time to throw this all together before work” you can just make the batter the night before and problem solved!) You will still have to cook it up in the morning, but that’s the quick and easy part.

Description

A vegan omelette made out of chickpea flour and stuffed with sauteed spinach and peas

Ingredients

Scale

Omelette

Filling

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 5 cups spinach, packed
  • 1/2 cup peas
  • 2 shallots, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, chopped
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Whisk the chickpea flour, ground flax seeds, baking powder, salt, turmeric, garlic powder, and water together in a bowl until smooth. Set aside and let sit for 5-10 minutes while you prepare the filling.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a pan on medium-high heat and add the onions to the pan, letting cook for 1-2 minutes.
  3. Lower the heat to medium, and add the spinach, peas, and garlic to the pan. The spinach will shrink a lot!
  4. Season the filling with salt & pepper, then remove from heat and set aside while you make the omelette.
  5. Spray a 10-inch non-stick pan generously with cooking spray and heat the pan on medium-high heat.
  6. Spoon a ladleful of the omelette batter into the pan, using your other hand to swirl the pan in a circular motion, so the batter spreads out evenly on the pan.
  7. Let cook on medium heat for 3-4 minutes until golden brown on the bottom.
  8. Add your filling to the omelette, then fold in half over the filling.
  9. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use any vegetables you like for the filling of the omelette

store extra batter in a jar in the fridge to use for another time

    Cooked two omelettes in my cast iron with a different filling (kale, tomato, bell pepper, onion, cheeze).

    Boyfriend got veggie sausage in his and he said it was amazing. I 100% agree.

    Great recipe! Will definitely be making again & again 🙂
