Instructions
Making a spinach and feta omelette is simple and straightforward. Follow these step-by-step instructions to achieve omelette perfection:
- Prepare the Ingredients:
- Wash and chop the spinach leaves.
- If using, finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.
- Whisk the Eggs:
- In a medium-sized bowl, crack the eggs and add salt, pepper, and milk or cream if desired.
- Whisk the eggs thoroughly until they are well combined and slightly frothy.
- Cook the Spinach:
- Heat olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add the onion and garlic if using, and sauté until the onion is translucent.
- Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Omelette:
- In the same skillet, pour in the egg mixture and let it cook on medium-low heat.
- Gently stir the eggs with a spatula as they begin to set, pulling the edges toward the center and allowing uncooked egg to flow to the edges.
- Add the Fillings:
- Once the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top, evenly distribute the cooked spinach and crumbled feta cheese over one half of the omelette.
- Fold the Omelette:
- Carefully fold the omelette in half over the fillings using a spatula.
- Press down gently to seal and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the eggs are fully cooked and the cheese is melted.
- Serve:
- Slide the omelette onto a plate, cut in half if desired, and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
