Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 cup red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup spinach, fresh
- 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.25 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 0.5 teaspoon oregano, dried
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon parsley, fresh and chopped
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, add the salt, black pepper, and oregano. Whisk the eggs until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the diced red bell pepper and chopped red onion. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes or until they start to soften.
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until wilted.
Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet over the vegetables and tilt the pan to spread the eggs evenly.
Allow the omelette to cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to set.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the omelette.
Using a spatula, gently fold the omelette in half and continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese.
Slide the omelette onto a serving plate and garnish with fresh parsley.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Mediterranean Diet Classic Egg Omelette.
