    Spinach Egg Wrap Omelette with Spiced Squash

      Ingredients

      • 1 cup (250 mL) baby spinach, plus extra for filling
      • 4 large organic eggs
      • 2 Tbsp (30 mL) + 1 tsp (5 mL) avocado oil
      • 1 small butternut squash, peeled and diced
      • 1 1/4 tsp (6 mL) ground cumin
      • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) ground coriander
      • 1 small shallot, peeled and minced
      • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) turmeric
      • 1/2 cup (125 mL) plain Greek yogurt
      • 2 Tbsp (30 mL) freshly squeezed lemon juice
      • 1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
      • 1 tsp (5 mL) dried or fresh, chopped chives
      • Salt and pepper, to taste

      Directions

      01

      To make spinach-egg omelette, in blender, place 1 cup (250 mL) spinach and 2 eggs and blend until completely smooth.

      02

      In large (10 to 12 inch) skillet on medium heat, add 1 Tbsp (15 mL) avocado oil. Pour in half of spinach and egg mixture and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until bubbles form. Gently flip over, as you would a crepe, and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside to cool while preparing filling.

      03

      For filling, in large skillet, heat 1 Tbsp (15 mL) avocado oil on medium-high heat. Add diced squash in single layer with cumin, coriander, and shallot. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until crispy, caramelized, and tender, about 5 to 10 minutes per side. Remove squash from pan and set aside.

      04

      While pan is still hot, add remaining 1 tsp (5 mL) avocado oil, if needed, and remaining eggs; scramble for 3 to 4 minutes, or until desired doneness.

      05

      For yogurt sauce, in small bowl, whisk turmeric, yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, and chives and season with salt and pepper, to taste.

      06

      To assemble, top  spinach-egg omelette with extra spinach, scrambled eggs, caramelized butternut squash, and any optional toppings.

      07

      Serve immediately with yogurt sauce.
