Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 100 grams chorizo sausage
- 100 grams cherry tomatoes
- 50 grams spinach
- 50 grams feta cheese
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Start by preparing the ingredients: slice the chorizo into thin rounds, halve the cherry tomatoes, roughly chop the spinach, crumble the feta cheese, and finely chop the parsley.
Crack the eggs into a bowl, add salt and black pepper, and whisk until well combined. Set aside.
In a non-stick frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced chorizo and cook for about 3-4 minutes until it begins to brown and release its oils.
Add the chopped red onion and cook for another 2 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the tomatoes to the pan and cook for 2 minutes until they start to soften.
Add the spinach to the pan and cook until wilted, approximately 1-2 minutes.
Pour the whisked eggs into the pan, tilting it slightly to distribute the eggs evenly.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta evenly over the cooking eggs.
Cover the pan with a lid and reduce the heat to low, allowing the omelette to cook for about 5 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your liking.
Once the omelette is cooked, carefully slide it onto a serving plate and garnish with the chopped parsley.
Serve immediately, and enjoy your Mediterranean Diet Chorizo Omelette!
