Cheddar adds a sharp, savoury flavour, while mozzarella offers a creamy and mild taste. Swiss cheese provides a nutty depth, and feta brings a tangy twist. Feel free to experiment with your favourites!
- Vegetable Variations: While spinach and tomatoes are the stars of this dish, you can easily add other vegetables to match your preferences. Mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, and zucchini all work well and add extra flavour and texture. Just be sure to sauté them until tender before adding them to the omelette for the best results.
