Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 small red onion
- 0.5 medium bell pepper
- 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup spinach
- 0.25 cup feta cheese
- 1 teaspoon fresh oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them until they are frothy. Add salt and black pepper and mix well.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Chop the red onion and bell pepper into small pieces and add to the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add to the skillet. Cook for another 2 minutes until they start to release juices.
Add spinach to the skillet and sauté until wilted, about 1 minute.
Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet and pour in the beaten eggs.
Cook the eggs for about 1-2 minutes until they start to set around the edges.
Evenly distribute the cooked vegetables on one half of the omelette and sprinkle with feta cheese and fresh oregano.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the filling. Let it cook for another 1 minute to allow the cheese to melt.
Slide the omelette onto a plate and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
