  • 4 eggs
  • 50 g spinach, chopped
  • 1 red chili pepper(s)

  • 5 tbsp cream
  • salt and pepper
  • nutmeg

Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 8 minutes; Total time approx. 18 minutes

A spiced-up version of a classic – devilishly good!

Wash the chilies, remove the seeds, and finely chop. Peel and finely chop the garlic. Whisk the eggs and cream in a bowl and season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Heat a large pan with olive oil and fry the chilies and garlic over medium heat for 1 minute. Then add the egg mixture to the pan. After about 2 minutes, spread the spinach over the omelet. Cover the pan and let the contents set for another 3-5 minutes over low heat. Remove the omelet from the pan and enjoy immediately. Serve with fresh bread or baguette. Tip: Dried chilies can be used instead of fresh chilies.
