Ingredients
  

  • 3 large eggs preferably farm-fresh
  • 1 cup fresh spinach washed and chopped
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 1 tsp olive oil for sautéing
  • to taste salt adjust to feta's saltiness
  • to taste black pepper freshly ground

Equipment

  • Non-stick skillet
  • Spatula
  • Small mixing bowl
  • Fork

Method
 

  1. Crack the eggs into a small mixing bowl and whisk them until the whites and yolks are just combined, feeling smooth and slightly frothy.
  2. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and some black pepper into the eggs, and give them a quick stir to incorporate the seasonings.
  3. Heat the non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a teaspoon of olive oil, swirling to coat the bottom.
  4. Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring gently, until the leaves wilt and turn vibrant green.
  5. Pour the whisked eggs evenly over the sautéed spinach, tilting the pan slightly to spread the eggs into a thin, even layer. Let it cook gently for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to set and turn lightly golden.
  6. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese across one half of the omelette, distributing it evenly so every bite gets a salty, creamy touch. Add the wilted spinach on top of the feta.
  7. Let the eggs cook for another 1-2 minutes until the top is just set but still slightly jiggly, then gently fold the omelette in half over the fillings using the spatula.
  8. Cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, allowing the cheese to melt slightly and the omelette to finish cooking through. Carefully slide it onto a plate.
  9. Let the omelette rest for about a minute to settle, then sprinkle with extra black pepper or herbs if desired, and serve immediately while warm.
