How to Roll an Omelet

The key to rolling up the Spinach Omelet Roll without cracking is to roll it up before it cools down completely. Use the parchment paper to carefully fold over the omelet (lengthwise), and remove the paper as you roll up the Spinach Omelet.

Tips for Baked Spinach Omelet Roll

– You can spray the parchment paper with cooking spray before adding the omelet mixture, this will also make removal easier.

– Feel free to add other ingredients to this Baked Rolled Spinach Roll: cooked mushrooms, red pepper, cheddar cheese, and fresh herbs. If you want to make it more meaty, you can also add chopped ham or spinach.

– If you don’t have sour cream, you can use cream cheese, hummus, or red pepper paste.

– If using Swiss chard instead of baby spinach, make sure that you first cook the spinach until it’s wilted. Otherwise, it will release too much moisture and the omelet won’t set.

How to store Spinach Rolled Omelet.

The Baked Spinach Omelet can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days, just make sure to wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. This will prevent it from picking up other flavors in the fridge. If you don’t want your omelets to go to waste, you can also freeze them (without the sour cream). Simply wrap it tightly, or use an airtight freezer-safe container, and store it for up to 3 months.
