Equipment
- Baking sheet
- Saucepan with lid
- Mixing bowl
- Fork
- Serving bowls
- Knife
Ingredients
- 3 Large Eggs
- 1 cup Fresh spinach leaves
- 1/4 cup Crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
- Dried oregano (optional, for extra Mediterranean flavor)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prep the Ingredients: Wash the spinach leaves thoroughly and pat them dry with paper towels. Slice the cherry tomatoes in half, and crumble the feta cheese if it's not pre-crumbled.
- Whisk the Eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them until well beaten. Season with a pinch of salt, freshly ground black pepper, and a sprinkle of dried oregano if desired. Whisk again to combine.
- Sauté the Vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the fresh spinach leaves and cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Sauté them for 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts slightly and the tomatoes soften.
- Pour in the Eggs: Once the vegetables are ready, pour the beaten eggs evenly over them. Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for a minute or so until the edges begin to set.
- Add Feta Cheese: Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly across the omelette.
- Fold and Finish: Gently lift one side of the feta and tomato omelette with a spatula and fold it over the other, creating a half-moon shape. Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes or until the eggs are fully set and the cheese has melted.
- Serve: This feta omelette recipe typically serves 2-4 people, depending on their appetites and whether it's served as a main dish or a side. Carefully slide the omelette onto a plate and season with additional salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil if desired. Serve hot.
