Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 small, diced zucchini
- 8 halved cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 0.25 cups, crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh basil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon butter
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced zucchini and sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
Add the cherry tomatoes and baby spinach to the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the spinach wilts and the tomatoes begin to soften. Remove the vegetables from the pan and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, pour in half of the egg mixture, spreading it evenly across the pan.
Cook the eggs for 1-2 minutes, gently lifting the edges with a spatula to let uncooked egg flow underneath. Continue cooking until the eggs are mostly set and the top is slightly moist.
Spoon half of the sautéed vegetables over one side of the omelet. Sprinkle with half of the feta cheese and half of the fresh basil.
Carefully fold the other side of the omelet over the filling and slide it onto a plate. Repeat the process with the remaining egg mixture and ingredients to make a second omelet.
Serve the Summer Omelets warm, garnished with additional basil if desired.
