Spinach and Feta Omelette

This fluffy omelette combines tender wilted spinach and crumbled feta cheese, cooked gently in a non-stick skillet until golden and slightly crispy at the edges. The eggs are whisked to a light consistency, folded around the savory fillings, resulting in a moist, tender final texture with melty cheese pockets and vibrant green spinach. It's a quick, comforting breakfast with a nostalgic touch, perfect for busy mornings or leisurely brunches.

Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 large eggs fresh, at room temperature
  • 1 cup fresh spinach chopped
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil for cooking
  • to taste salt and pepper seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs dill or parsley optional, chopped

Equipment

  • Non-stick skillet
  • Spatula
  • Small mixing bowl
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Crack the eggs into a small bowl and whisk until the whites and yolks are just combined, aiming for a light, slightly frothy texture. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add a teaspoon of olive oil, swirling to coat the bottom evenly. Once shimmering, add the chopped spinach and cook, stirring, until just wilted and fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet, tilting the pan to distribute evenly. Let cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to set and turn golden brown, while the center remains slightly runny.
  4. Crumble the feta cheese evenly over one half of the eggs, allowing the salty, creamy cheese to melt slightly into the warm eggs.
  5. Gently fold the omelette in half over the feta-filled side using a spatula, creating a half-moon shape. Cover the skillet with a lid to encourage melting of the feta and finish cooking the eggs for another 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  6. Check for doneness: the edges should be golden and slightly crispy, and the feta melted and bubbly. The center should jiggle just slightly but hold together when gently pressed.
  7. Slide the omelette carefully onto a plate, garnish with chopped herbs if desired, and serve hot with a fresh cup of coffee or your favorite breakfast side.

Notes

For extra flavor, sprinkle chopped herbs or a squeeze of lemon before serving. Use fresh, high-quality feta for the best taste and texture.
