Instructions

Prep the ingredients
Wash and finely chop the spinach. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until smooth.
Sauté the spinach
Heat a rectangular omelette pan (tamagoyaki pan) on medium heat. Add butter and let it melt. Add chopped spinach and sauté for 2–3 minutes until it softens and releases moisture.
First egg layer
Pour half of the whisked eggs over the spinach. Spread evenly. Sprinkle black pepper and add a layer of cheese.
Roll the omelette
Once the egg starts to set (about 1–2 minutes), gently roll it from one side to the other. Move the roll to one side of the pan.
Second layer
Pour the remaining egg mixture into the empty side of the pan. Add more cheese on top and let it set slightly.
Final roll
Roll the omelette again over the new layer. Cook for another 1 minute until fully set.
Slice and serve
Remove from pan, then slice into rolls. Serve warm and enjoy.
