  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 1 omelette (serves 1) 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • Main Ingredients:
    • 3 large eggs
    • 1 cup fresh spinach (washed and trimmed)
    • ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
    • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional Additions:
    • 2 tablespoons diced onions
    • 2 tablespoons chopped tomatoes
    • 2 tablespoons sliced mushrooms
    • 1 pinch red pepper flakes (for heat)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Ingredients:
    • Wash and dry the spinach thoroughly.
    • Crumble the feta cheese and set aside.
    • Crack the eggs into a bowl, add salt and pepper, and whisk until frothy.
  • Cook the Spinach:
    • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
    • Add olive oil or butter and sauté the spinach for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Remove and set aside.
  • Cook the Eggs:
    • Reduce the heat to medium-low. Pour the whisked eggs into the same skillet and let them cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes, until the edges start to set.
  • Assemble the Omelette:
    • Sprinkle the sautéed spinach and crumbled feta over half of the omelette.
    • Use a spatula to carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the filling.
  • Finish Cooking:
    • Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese begins to melt and the eggs are fully set.
  • Serve:
    • Slide the omelette onto a plate and garnish with fresh herbs, if desired. Serve hot with toast or a light salad.

Notes

  • For a fluffier omelette, whisk the eggs with a splash of milk or water.
  • Substitute fresh spinach with frozen spinach (thawed and drained) if needed.
  • Use goat cheese or ricotta as an alternative to feta for a unique flavor twist.
