Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 0.5 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium tomato
- 6 pieces black olives, pitted and sliced
- 0.25 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and whisk them together with the milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
Dice the red onion, bell pepper, and tomato into small, even pieces.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until they begin to soften.
Add the tomatoes and olives to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour the whisked eggs evenly over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Let it cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges are set.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top of the omelet, then cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the cheese has softened.
Using a spatula, carefully slide the omelet onto a serving plate and fold it in half.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm. Enjoy your Omeleta Horiatiki with crusty bread or a side salad for an authentic Mediterranean meal.
