Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 0.5 cup red bell pepper, diced
- 0.25 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.25 cup kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
- 0.25 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Beat together until well combined.
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced red bell pepper and chopped red onion. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes, or until they begin to soften.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for another minute until wilted. Remove the vegetable mixture from the skillet and set aside.
Wipe the skillet clean, add the remaining teaspoon of olive oil, and return it to the heat. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes, or until the edges begin to set.
Evenly distribute the cooked vegetables, cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives, and feta cheese over one half of the omelet. Sprinkle with dried oregano.
Using a spatula, gently fold the omelet in half, covering the filling. Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the eggs are fully cooked.
Carefully slide the omelet onto a plate. Serve hot and enjoy your Mediterranean Diet Loaded Omelet.
