Spinach Feta Omelet (Printable)
Fluffy eggs filled with tender spinach and salty feta, ready in 18 minutes.
# What You'll Need:
→ Eggs and Dairy
01 - 4 large eggs
02 - 1/4 cup milk
03 - 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
04 - 1 tbsp unsalted butter or olive oil
→ Vegetables
05 - 1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
06 - 1 small shallot or 1/4 onion, finely diced
→ Seasonings
07 - 1/4 tsp salt
08 - 1/8 tsp black pepper
09 - Pinch of nutmeg
# How to Make It:
01 - Whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg in a bowl until fully combined and slightly frothy.
02 - Heat butter or oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add shallot or onion and sauté until translucent, approximately 1-2 minutes.
03 - Add chopped spinach to skillet and stir constantly until wilted, about 1 minute.
04 - Pour egg mixture into skillet, tilting pan to spread evenly over spinach and aromatics.
05 - Cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until edges begin to set. Gently lift edges with spatula to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
06 - Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese evenly over one half of the omelet.
07 - Fold omelet in half when eggs are mostly set but top remains slightly runny. Cook for 30 seconds, then slide onto serving plate.
08 - Serve immediately, garnished with additional feta or fresh herbs if desired.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- It comes together in under 15 minutes but tastes like something you'd order at a cozy café
- The combination of creamy feta and tender spinach feels luxurious without being heavy
02 -
- Don't overcook the eggs before folding, as they'll continue cooking slightly after you remove them from the heat
- A truly nonstick skillet is essential here, or the omelet will tear when you try to fold it
03 -
- Have everything chopped and ready before you turn on the heat, as this recipe moves quickly once you start cooking
- If your omelet breaks while folding, just call it a frittata and serve it with a smile, it'll taste exactly the same
