Looking for a quick breakfast or a light lunch that doesn't skimp on flavor? This Spinach and Feta Omelette is your new go-to. It's simple to make but feels a bit more special than your everyday scrambled eggs.
Eggs are the base of our omelette, providing protein and a rich, fluffy texture. Using three large eggs gives you a hearty meal.
Milk adds a bit of creaminess to the eggs, making the omelette tender and moist.
Spinach not only boosts the nutritional profile with vitamins and minerals but also adds a fresh, earthy flavor.
Feta cheese brings a tangy, salty kick that pairs beautifully with the spinach. A little goes a long way in flavor.
Butter is used to sauté the spinach and gives the omelette a buttery, delicious base.
Salt and pepper are the essential seasonings that bring everything together. Use them to taste, but don't skip them!
This omelette pairs beautifully with a slice of whole-grain toast or a fresh side salad. For a heartier meal, consider adding some oven-roasted potatoes on the side. A glass of freshly squeezed orange juice complements the dish perfectly.
Start by cracking the eggs into a bowl, adding the milk, and whisking them together until you’ve got a smooth, frothy mix. This is the foundation of your omelette, so take a moment to get it well combined.
Heat the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once melted, toss in the spinach and sauté for about 2 minutes until it wilts down but still retains its vibrant green color. You’re looking for it to soften just enough without getting mushy.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, spreading it out evenly. Let it cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready for the next step when the edges start to set and pull away slightly from the sides of the pan.
Now, sprinkle the feta cheese over one half of the omelette. This is where the magic happens—the cheese will start to melt slightly, creating a lovely, creamy layer.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelette in half, covering the cheese. Give it another couple of minutes to cook, allowing the eggs to fully set without browning too much.
Slide your perfectly cooked omelette onto a plate, and serve it up while it’s hot. Enjoy the simple yet satisfying flavors!
