Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 0.5 cup tomato, finely diced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon cumin powder
- 0.25 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup feta cheese, crumbled
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and beat them with a fork until they are fully mixed and fluffy.
Add the cumin powder, turmeric powder, sea salt, and black pepper to the eggs and mix well.
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the red onion and garlic to the pan and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the bell pepper and spinach to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes until the spinach is wilted.
Add the diced tomato and cook for another minute.
Transfer the cooked vegetables to a bowl and wipe the skillet clean.
Add the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil to the skillet and warm over medium heat.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes or until the edges start to set.
Spread the cooked vegetables over one half of the omelette and sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and chopped coriander leaves evenly over the vegetables.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the filling. Cook for another minute or until the cheese is just melted.
Slide the omelette onto a serving plate and garnish with additional coriander leaves if desired. Serve immediately.
