Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, sliced
  • 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup diced onions
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs until fully combined. Add salt, pepper, and oregano, and mix well.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add onions and sauté for 2-3 minutes until soft. Add spinach, tomatoes, and olives, and cook until spinach is wilted.
  3. Cook the Omelette: Pour the whisked eggs over the vegetable mixture in the skillet. Spread the mixture evenly and let it cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to set.
  4. Add the Feta: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over one-half of the omelette. Fold the other half over the filling and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts and the omelette is fully cooked.
  5. Serve: Carefully slide the omelette onto a plate. Garnish with fresh herbs and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Ingredient Substitutions: Use goat cheese instead of feta for a creamier texture.
  • Customization: Add proteins like grilled chicken or turkey for a heartier meal.
  • Pan Size: Use an 8- or 10-inch skillet for best results.
  • Reheating: Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat to maintain texture.
