Method

  1. Spray cooking oil into a skillet.

  2. Heat the skillet over medium heat.

  3. Place rice paper sheets into the skillet.

  4. Cover the rice paper with a slice of tomato, some chopped spinach, a beaten egg, a slice of ham, and a slice of cheese.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Toppings are distributed across the rice paper before covering. Spread them evenly so the egg sets across the surface.

  5. Cover the skillet with a glass lid to cook the omelette.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Lid traps heat over the layered omelette. Keep the pan covered while the egg cooks.

  6. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the egg sets and the cheese melts.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Egg is set and cheese has melted. Check the center before slicing.

  7. Cut the cooked omelette into slices using a pizza cutter.
