Apple~Spinach Omelette with Cinnamon & Thyme

This is one of my favourite breakfast treats.
I like to make a very thin omelette using two eggs on a large griddle or frying pan, folding it over a couple of times to make thin layers of omelette...almost like a crepe.
You can also easily make a thicker omelette in a smaller skillet as well, placing the filling on one side and folding it over once :)

Ingredients:
-2 large eggs + 2Tbsp water
-2 tsps coconut oil
-1 apple, peeled and diced
-1-2 tsps of cinnamon
-1/2 tsp dried thyme
-sea salt & freshly ground pepper to taste
-a generous handful of fresh baby spinach leaves, chopped

1. Whisk together 2 eggs & 2 Tbsp water in a small bowl & set aside.

2. Melt the coconut oil into a small skillet.

3. Add the diced apple & cinnamon and sauté for 5 or so minutes on medium heat.

4. Remove from heat & add spinach, dried thyme and salt & pepper to taste. Stir together and reserve in skillet 'till ready for use.

5. Heat a frying pan or griddle with edges on it like the one in the photo over medium-low heat. Brush with a decent layer of coconut oil.

6. Pour egg mixture into pan and swirl to spread around. (At this point I like to cover it with a lid to speed up the cook time but that is not completely necessary.)

7. Once egg is close to cooked through, spread just over half of the apple/spinach mixture down the centre. Fold over one half, spoon the rest of the mixture on top and bring the other side over to cover.

8. Flip over an allow to cook a few min longer.

9. Remove to a plate, sprinkle with a little more cinnamon and salt & pepper if you wish. You can also top with even more fresh chopped fresh spinach before serving.

Manje!
