Steps for preparing the rolled omelet with spinach and smoked cheese
First, cook the spinach, either fresh or frozen, in a saucepan with salt, pepper, extra virgin olive oil, and garlic. They should become soft and lose their water. Then let them cool, remove the garlic, and chop roughly.
Break the eggs into a bowl. Add salt and pepper, Parmesan cheese, and quickly whisk with a fork. Grease a frying pan, pour in the egg mixture, and cook a few minutes on each side.
Place the omelet on a plate. Cover with slices of smoked cheese, the spinach, and roll it up. Place the roll on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper, sprinkle a little more Parmesan cheese on top, drizzle with a bit of olive oil, and bake in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes. Serve immediately with melted cheese.
Storage
You can store the omelet in the fridge for two days and warm it up just before serving.
