Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 large eggs preferably free-range
  • 1 cup fresh spinach roughly chopped if large
  • ½ cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil good quality extra-virgin
  • to taste salt and pepper freshly cracked
  • optional herbs chopped chives or dill, for garnish

Equipment

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

Method
 

  1. Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk until slightly frothy, about 20 seconds. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until it shimmers and you hear a gentle crackle.
  3. Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring gently, until wilted and fragrant. The spinach should turn a vibrant green and soften slightly.
  4. Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the wilted spinach, tilting the pan to spread the eggs into a thin layer. Reduce heat slightly to ensure gentle cooking.
  5. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over one half of the eggs while they are still runny, allowing it to melt slightly into the mixture.
  6. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes until the edges are set and the feta begins to ooze slightly.
  7. Gently fold the omelette in half using a spatula, creating a half-moon shape, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fully set but still moist inside.
  8. Slide the omelette onto a plate and let rest for 30 seconds to finish setting. Garnish with herbs if desired and serve hot.

Notes

Use a medium heat to cook the omelette gently, preventing browning and ensuring fluffy eggs. For extra flavor, sprinkle fresh herbs right before serving.
