Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 whole, diced red bell pepper
- 0.5 whole, diced zucchini
- 6 whole, halved cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup, loosely packed baby spinach
- 2 tablespoons, crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon, chopped fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon salt

Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced red bell pepper and zucchini to the skillet and sauté for 3 minutes, or until they begin to soften.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes and baby spinach to the skillet, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the spinach is wilted.
Evenly spread the cooked vegetables across the skillet, then pour the whisked eggs over the vegetables, tilting the skillet slightly to ensure the eggs cover the entire surface.
Sprinkle the feta cheese and dried oregano evenly over the top of the eggs.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and no longer runny.
Slide the omelet onto a plate, fold it in half if desired, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Mediterranean Diet Veggie Omelet!
