Ingredients
Scale
For the Omelette:
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk (optional)
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional Add-Ins:
- Chopped onions
- Diced tomatoes
- Bell peppers, chopped
Substitutions:
- Feta Cheese: Substitute with goat cheese or shredded cheddar
- Milk: Use a dairy-free alternative like almond milk
Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables: Wash and chop the fresh spinach. If using optional add-ins such as onions or bell peppers, chop them as well to prepare for sautéing.
- Mix the eggs: In a bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs and 1 tablespoon of milk (if using). Season the mixture with salt and pepper to your taste.
- Heat the pan: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter, allowing it to warm up.
- Sauté vegetables: Add the chopped spinach and any other chosen vegetables to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until spinach wilts and the vegetables soften.
- Add egg mixture: Pour the whisked egg mixture evenly over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet.
- Cook eggs: Let the eggs cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes until the edges start setting.
- Add cheese: Sprinkle 1/4 cup of crumbled feta cheese over one half of the omelette.
- Fold omelette: Using a spatula, gently fold the other half of the omelette over the cheese. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fully cooked and cheese slightly melts.
- Plate and garnish: Carefully slide the omelette onto a plate and add extra salt and pepper if desired.
- Serve: Serve immediately with toast or fresh fruit to complete the breakfast.
Notes
- You can substitute feta with goat cheese or shredded cheddar for a different flavor profile.
- Use almond milk or other dairy-free milk for a lighter, dairy-free option.
- Feel free to add chopped tomatoes or bell peppers for added texture and taste.
- For a fluffier omelette, whisk the eggs more vigorously to incorporate air.
- Cook on medium heat to avoid browning the eggs too quickly and to ensure even cooking.
