I made one for my DH and one for me. I love fresh spinach sauteed so I knew I would love this. Great flavor. Thanks! Made for the Photo forum-French Food!

Spinach and cheese omelets are one of my favorite things to order when we go out to breakfast.This was wonderful and so easy to make at home also. I did not use the sour cream. To be sure it melted, I let the cheese sit on the omelet in the pan for a few minutes to melt before removing to my plate. Delicious! Thanks, JQ.

I don't know why I've never tried spinach on an omelet before--this is so good! As is my habit I did add the spinach & cheese a bit earlier, before taking it off the heat, so that the cheese would melt a bit more. Loved it!
