Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, ensuring the pan is evenly coated.
- Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and sauté for about 2-3 minutes, or until wilted and tender.
- Pour the beaten eggs over the sautéed spinach in the skillet, tilting the pan to distribute the eggs evenly.
- Allow the omelette to cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges begin to set and the center is slightly runny.
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over one half of the omelette.
- Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the cheese, creating a semi-circle.
- Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the omelette is cooked through but still moist.
- Gently slide the omelette onto a plate and serve hot, garnished with extra spinach or herbs if desired.
Tips
- For added flavor, consider mixing in some diced tomatoes or herbs like dill or parsley.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the eggs before cooking.
- If you're looking for a dairy-free version, substitute the feta with a plant-based cheese alternative.
