- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk (optional, for fluffiness)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon olive oil or butter
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add spinach and sauté for 1–2 minutes, until wilted. Remove and set aside.
- Pour the egg mixture into the same skillet. Cook without stirring for 1–2 minutes, gently pushing the edges toward the center with a spatula while tilting the pan.
- When the eggs are nearly set, evenly distribute the sautéed spinach and crumbled feta on one half.
- Fold the omelette in half and cook for another 1–2 minutes until the cheese is warm and the eggs are fully cooked.
- Slide onto a plate and serve hot.
Notes
- Use baby spinach for a more tender texture.
- For a creamier omelette, add a tablespoon of cream cheese with the feta.
- Great served with a slice of whole-grain toast or fresh fruit.
