Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 large eggs beaten thoroughly
  • 1 cup fresh spinach roughly chopped if large
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil for cooking
  • to taste salt and pepper for seasoning
  • optional fresh herbs or lemon zest for finishing

Equipment

  • Non-stick or stainless steel skillet
  • Spatula
  • Mixing bowl
  • Fork

Method
 

  1. Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk thoroughly until smooth and slightly frothy, about 30 seconds. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then set aside.
  2. Heat the skillet over medium heat and add a teaspoon of olive oil, swirling to coat the bottom. When the oil shimmers and just begins to smoke slightly, add the fresh spinach.
  3. Sauté the spinach for about 30 seconds or until wilted and fragrant, watching for it to turn a vibrant green and soften slightly.
  4. Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the wilted spinach, tilting the pan to spread the eggs into an even layer. Let cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds until the edges start to set and turn a light golden brown.
  5. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over one half of the eggs, distributing it evenly. Add optional herbs or lemon zest now if desired for extra flavor.
  6. Using a spatula, gently fold the omelette in half, covering the feta and spinach. Cook for another 40 seconds, until the cheese begins to soften and the eggs are just cooked through.
  7. Remove the omelette from the heat and let rest for about 1 minute. This helps the fillings settle and enhances the flavor.
  8. Slide the omelette onto a plate, cut in half if desired, and finish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon for brightness. Serve immediately and enjoy the tender, fluffy texture with a slightly crispy edge.
