Ingredient Notes
You’ll need fresh spinach, feta cheese, eggs, and olive oil. For spinach, you can substitute with kale or Swiss chard if desired. Use any good-quality feta cheese, crumbled. Large eggs work best here, but you can replace them with egg whites for a lighter version. Olive oil can be swapped with butter for a richer flavor.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs and season with salt and pepper. Pour the eggs into the skillet, ensuring the spinach is evenly distributed.
- Cook the omelette for about 5 minutes until the edges begin to set, then sprinkle 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese over the top.
- Carefully roll the omelette from one side to the other using a spatula, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until fully set. Serve warm.
Things I’ve Learned
To avoid a rubbery texture, don’t overcook the omelette. If you’re making this dish ahead, roll and store it in the refrigerator, wrapped tightly in plastic. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat. You can also make the filling ahead of time and assemble it right before serving to save time.
