Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 50 grams feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon green onions, sliced
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl and add the whole milk. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
Add the crumbled feta cheese, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper to the egg mixture. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Ensure the oil coats the surface of the pan evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Cook over medium heat without stirring, allowing the eggs to set slightly around the edges.
As the eggs begin to set, use a spatula to gently lift the edges, allowing any uncooked egg to flow to the edges.
Once the omleta starts to firm up but remains slightly runny on top, sprinkle the sliced green onions over it.
Fold the omleta in half using a spatula and continue to cook for another minute to achieve your desired level of doneness.
Transfer the omleta to a serving plate. Let it rest for a minute, then slice and serve warm.
