PREPARATION FOR SPINACH AND FETA OMELETTE

  1. Sauté the Spinach: Heat 1/2 tbsp of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Remove spinach from the pan and set aside.
  1. Cook the Eggs: Whisk 2 eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl. Pour the eggs into the same skillet and let them cook undisturbed for about 1 minute until the edges start to set.
  1. Add the Filling; Sprinkle the sautéed spinach and 1 tbsp crumbled feta cheese evenly over one-half of the omelette. Fold the omelette in half and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the eggs are set fully and the cheese melts.
  1. Serve: Slide the omelette onto a plate and enjoy hot with your favourite side.

TIPS FOR SPINACH AND FETA OMELETTE

  • Cook the eggs over medium heat to avoid overcooking and ensure a soft, fluffy texture.
  • Add mushrooms, tomatoes, or onions for flavour and texture.
  • Make great alternatives if you don’t have feta, goat cheese or cheddar.

VARIATIONS

  • Add Protein: Incorporate diced ham, smoked salmon, or turkey bacon for extra protein.
  • Low-Fat Version: Use egg whites instead of whole eggs, and reduce the amount of feta cheese.
  • Herbs: Sprinkle fresh herbs like parsley or dill to brighten the flavour.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Fridge: Store the cooked omelette in an airtight container for up to 1 day. Reheat gently in the microwave or on a stovetop.
  • Freezing: Omelettes do not freeze well due to the texture changes in eggs, so it’s best to make them fresh.
  • Make-Ahead Tip: You can prep the spinach and feta mixture in advance and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days.
