Crack the eggs into a small bowl. Add salt, black pepper, and garlic powder (if using). Whisk until the eggs are fully combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the fresh spinach to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the spinach is wilted.
Pour the whisked eggs evenly over the spinach in the skillet.
Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes, until the edges start to set.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over one half of the omelet.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the filling.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes over low heat, until the eggs are fully set and the feta cheese is slightly melted.
Gently slide the omelet onto a plate and serve immediately.
