Ingredient Notes

1 cup fresh spinach: Look for vibrant green leaves; frozen spinach can work too but drain it well. 2 tablespoons feta cheese: Opt for high-quality Greek feta for the best flavor. 1 pound eggs: About 6 large eggs, fresh is best. 1/2 teaspoon olive oil: Use extra virgin for better taste and health benefits.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs until well combined and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Step 2: Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, then add the spinach and sauté until wilted, about 2 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Pour the beaten eggs over the spinach, reduce the heat, and let it cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Sprinkle the feta on top, cover the skillet, and cook until the eggs are set, about 4-5 minutes.
  5. Serve warm.

Things I’ve Learned

For a fluffier omelette, beat the eggs longer until they are frothy. If you like your omelette more cooked, flip it over carefully. You can store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet to maintain texture. Feel free to add other ingredients like tomatoes or herbs for variety.
