Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped spinach and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until wilted, stirring occasionally.
- Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet over the sautéed spinach, tilting the pan to guarantee the eggs spread evenly. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the edges to set while the center remains slightly runny.
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over one half of the omelette. Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half over the feta, creating a half-moon shape.
- Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes until the omelette is fully set and lightly golden. Slide it onto a plate and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Extra Tips:
For added flavor, consider sautéing some diced onions or bell peppers along with the spinach. You can also experiment with different cheeses like goat cheese or cheddar.
If you prefer a fluffier omelette, add a splash of milk or cream to the egg mixture before whisking. Serve it hot for the best taste, and feel free to adjust the seasonings based on your preference.
Enjoy your healthy breakfast!
