Description
A delightful and simple Spinach and Feta Omelet that brings together earthy spinach and creamy feta for a comforting meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 to 3 large eggs
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
- Optional: 1/4 cup diced onions or minced garlic
- Fresh herbs like dill or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prep your ingredients: Start by washing the spinach thoroughly. If using fresh garlic and onions, finely chop them and measure out your feta.
- Whisk the eggs: In a bowl, crack 2 to 3 large eggs. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, then whisk until everything is combined and airy.
- Sauté your spinach: In a non-stick skillet, heat a tablespoon of butter or olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions (if using) and cook until they soften. Stir in the spinach and cook until it wilts, only about 1-2 minutes.
- Add the eggs: Pour the whisked eggs over the sautéed spinach, tilting the pan to ensure they spread evenly. Allow them to cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to set.
- Cringe the feta: Sprinkle crumbled feta on one half of the omelet. Use a spatula to fold the other half over the feta and continue cooking for another minute or until the eggs are fully set to your preference.
- Serve: Gently slide the omelet onto a plate. Garnish with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of extra feta, and enjoy immediately while it’s warm and fluffy.
Notes
A non-stick skillet works wonders here, ensuring ease of flipping and folding. Avoid overcooking for a soft, creamy omelet texture.
