Ingredients
  

  • 3 eggs large
  • 2 tbsp milk or water
  • 1 cup fresh spinach roughly chopped
  • 0.25 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • red pepper flakes or fresh herbs optional

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Non-stick skillet
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk eggs with milk until well blended. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add spinach and sauté until wilted, about 1–2 minutes.
  3. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, swirling gently to cover the bottom evenly. Let cook undisturbed for 2–3 minutes.
  4. Sprinkle feta cheese evenly over the eggs. Add optional herbs or red pepper flakes if using.
  5. Once the edges are set but the center is slightly soft, gently fold the omelet in half with a spatula.
  6. Cook another 1–2 minutes until cheese is softened and eggs are fully set.
  7. Transfer to a plate, garnish with extra herbs, and serve immediately.

Notes

This omelet pairs wonderfully with whole grain toast or a side of sliced tomatoes. For added protein, add smoked salmon or diced chicken.
