Spinach & Feta Omelette
Combining the goodness of fresh spinach and crumbly feta cheese, this omelette is the epitome of a deliciously balanced meal. Enjoy it as a wholesome breakfast or a light lunch that's easy to whip up.
Ingredients:
3 large eggs
50g fresh spinach leaves
30g feta cheese, crumbled
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Prepare the Filling: Rinse the spinach leaves and pat them dry. Heat half of the olive oil or butter in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the spinach and sauté until just wilted. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Beat the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs together with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Cook the Omelette: In the same pan, add the remaining olive oil or butter and pour in the eggs. Cook over medium-low heat. As the eggs start to set, use a spatula to gently push the edges towards the centre, allowing any uncooked eggs to flow to the edges.
Add the Filling: Once the omelette is mostly set but still slightly runny on top, sprinkle the wilted spinach and feta cheese over one half. Cook for another minute until the cheese just begins to soften.
Fold and Serve: Carefully fold the omelette in half over the filling. Slide onto a plate and sprinkle with fresh chives. Enjoy immediately.
