Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 1/4 cup feta cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Wash the fresh spinach leaves thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
- Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl and whisk them together until the yolks and whites are completely combined and slightly frothy.
- Season the whisked eggs with salt and pepper to taste, stirring gently to distribute the seasonings evenly.
- Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, ensuring the pan is evenly coated.
- Once the pan is hot, pour the whisked eggs into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread the eggs evenly across the surface.
- As the eggs begin to set, use a spatula to gently lift the edges, allowing uncooked egg to flow underneath.
- When the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top, add the fresh spinach leaves across one half of the omelet.
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the spinach, distributing it evenly.
- Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the spinach and cheese filling.
- Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the cheese begins to melt.
- Slide the omelet onto a plate, and serve immediately while hot and fresh.
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality eggs at room temperature for the fluffiest texture.
- Don't overmix your eggs - whisk just until combined to keep the omelet tender.
- Ensure your non-stick pan is properly heated before adding eggs to prevent sticking.
- Use a silicone or rubber spatula to gently lift the edges of the omelet, allowing uncooked egg to flow underneath.
- Be careful not to overcook - the perfect omelet should be slightly soft and creamy in the center.
- For extra flavor, try adding a sprinkle of fresh herbs like chives or parsley before serving.
- If you're not a fan of feta, swap it with your favorite cheese like cheddar or goat cheese.
- Pat your spinach leaves completely dry to prevent excess moisture in your omelet.
