This recipe features Brenda Jensen’s award-winning Driftless cheese. As you enjoy it, imagine Brenda’s 200+ East Friesian and Lacaune dairy sheep munching away on the pastures of their 76-acre farm.

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup milk
  • pinch nutmeg
  • 1 tsp. chives
  • 1 cup spinach
  • ¼ cup Driftless cheese
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • Freshly ground pepper

Directions

  1. Beat eggs with milk in a bowl until the mixture is uniform.
  2. Stir in nutmeg, salt, pepper and chives.
  3. Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat, making sure pan is coated completely.
  4. Pour in eggs, distributing evenly.
  5. When one edge of the omelet becomes firm, use a spatula to lift the edge, letting uncooked egg flow under that side.
  6. Repeat until entire omelet is firm but not dry, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  7. Top with spinach and cheese. Serve warm.
