What You’ll Need:

  • 2 large eggs (or 3 if you’re extra hungry!)
  • 1/2 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter or olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional toppings: sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, or a sprinkle of fresh herbs

How to Make the Perfect Spinach and Feta Omelette

Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients

Take your eggs and whisk them in a small bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper. You want them light and airy, so don’t skimp on whisking! Set aside.

Step 2: Sauté the Spinach

In a non-stick skillet, melt the butter (or heat the olive oil) over medium heat. Add the chopped spinach and sauté for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Remove the spinach from the pan and set aside.

Step 3: Cook the Eggs

Reduce heat to low and add whisked eggs to the same skillet. Tilt pan to evenly cover the bottom of the pan with eggs. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges begin to set but the center is still slightly runny.

Step 4: Add Your Fillings

Evenly sprinkle the feta cheese and sautéed spinach over one half of the omelette. Carefully fold the other half over the fillings using a spatula. Let it cook for another minute to melt the cheese.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!

Slide the omelette onto a plate and garnish with your favorite toppings. Pair with a side of fresh greens or keto-friendly bread for a complete meal.
