German Spinach Omelette – Perfect for Breakfast

The German Spinach Omelette is a great German egg recipe that you will love.  Did you know that the German lunch consists always of a warm meal? In my childhood dinners were always served cold. If the dinner would consist of some warm dish then it would be some small and light food, such as an omelette, fried egg or “Griessbrei (semolina pudding)”.
The spinach omelet  is easy to make and it’s a healthy alternative for a lunch.  A good lunch takes care of 30 percent of the overall calories which the body needs a day. Such a lunch replaces a warm dinner. It’s the best when using organic spinach. Happy Cooking!
