Greek Omelette
If you want a breakfast that feels a little special but doesn't take forever to whip up. That's exactly where this u003cstrongu003eGreek Omeletteu003c/strongu003e comes in! It’s packed with fresh, vibrant flavors like salty feta, earthy spinach, and juicy tomatoes that taste like a little slice of the Mediterranean. Seriously, it's one of my go-to recipes for a quick, satisfying, and delicious start to the day. It looks impressive, but between you and me, it's incredibly simple to make.
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon of milk (or water, for a lighter texture)
- A pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon of olive oil or butter
- 1 clove of garlic, minced (optional, but so good!)
- 1 large handful of fresh spinach (it wilts down a lot!)
- 1/4 cup of chopped cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons of crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon of chopped Kalamata olives
- A sprinkle of dried oregano
Instructions
- First things first, crack the eggs into a bowl. Add the milk, salt, and pepper, and whisk everything together until it's light and a little frothy. Set that aside for a moment.
- Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet (about 8-10 inches is perfect) over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until you can smell that amazing aroma.
- Toss in the spinach and cook until it's just wilted down. This usually only takes a minute or two. Then, add the chopped tomatoes and cook for another minute.
- Pour the whisked eggs evenly over the veggies in the skillet. Let the eggs cook, without stirring, until the edges start to set. You can gently push the cooked edges toward the center and tilt the pan to let the uncooked egg flow underneath.
- When the omelette is almost set but still a little soft on top, sprinkle one half with the crumbled feta, olives, and a pinch of oregano.
- Carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the fillings. Let it cook for another 30 seconds or so, just until the cheese gets a little melty.
- Slide your beautiful Greek omelette onto a plate and enjoy it right away!
