The creamy feta cheese and the earthy spinach create a delicious contrast of flavors in this omelette. The eggs add a richness and the garlic adds a subtle punch of flavor. This is a simple yet satisfying breakfast dish.
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup fresh spinach leaves, chopped
- 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill (optional)
Method
- 1Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them together with a pinch of salt and pepper until the whites and yolks are fully incorporated.
- 2Melt the butter in a 6-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat until it's hot and foamy.
- 3Pour the eggs into the skillet and let them cook for about 30 seconds, until the edges start to set.
- 4Tilt the skillet to allow uncooked egg to flow to the edges and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
- 5Sprinkle the chopped spinach over the eggs and let it wilt for about 1 minute, until it's just tender.
- 6Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the spinach and use a spatula to gently lift and fold the edges of the omelette towards the center.
- 7Use the spatula to carefully slide the omelette out of the skillet onto a plate, folding it in half to conceal any filling.
- 8Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley and dill if desired.
