Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 medium, diced Red onion
- 100 grams, halved Cherry tomatoes
- 100 grams, fresh Spinach
- 50 grams, crumbled Feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them well with a fork. Add salt and black pepper, then whisk until combined.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced red onion to the pan and sauté for about 2-3 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until it begins to wilt, about 1-2 minutes.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the empty side of the pan.
Pour in the beaten eggs and allow them to spread across the skillet.
Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, incorporating the vegetables until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top, around 4-5 minutes.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the omelet.
Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until the cheese melts slightly and the eggs are fully set.
Remove from heat and let the omleta rest for a minute before sliding it onto a serving plate.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
