Ingredients:
2 large eggs
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:
1. Begin by breaking the eggs into a bowl. Whisk them until well combined, then season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
2. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until it shimmers.
3. Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes, just until wilted.
4. Pour the whisked eggs over the spinach in the skillet, tilting the pan to ensure the eggs spread evenly.
5. Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the eggs to set around the edges.
6. Once the edges are set, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over one half of the omelette.
7. Carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the cheese and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the center is cooked to your desired doneness.
8. Slide the omelette onto a plate and garnish with fresh herbs if using.
