Hey there, breakfast fans! If you’re like me, you sometimes wake up craving something warm, savory, and satisfying especially after too many sweet breakfasts in a row. That’s why I LOVE this Feta Spinach Omelette! It’s cheesy, packed with spinach, and super quick to make. The best part? It keeps me full and focused all morning long. If you’ve never tried a savory breakfast before, this is a great place to start!
Method
Crack & Mix:
Start by cracking two eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add ½ teaspoon of garlic powder along with a pinch of salt and a little black pepper to taste. Use a fork or whisk to beat the eggs until the yolks and whites are fully combined. This step makes the omelette nice and fluffy. Whisking also adds a bit of air, which helps the texture stay light instead of rubbery.
Heat Your Pan:
Before pouring in the eggs, place a non-stick pan on the stove and turn the heat to high. Give the pan time to get really hot this is an important step. If the pan isn’t hot enough, the eggs can stick or cook unevenly. When you splash a drop of water on the surface and it sizzles instantly, your pan is ready.
Cook on Low:
As soon as the pan is hot, pour in the beaten eggs. Right after you pour them in, quickly lower the heat to low. This allows the eggs to cook gently and evenly without burning the bottom. The edges will start to set first, while the top stays soft for a little longer don’t rush it!
Add the Good Stuff:
Now it’s time to add the yummy fillings! Crumble 30–40 grams of feta cheese evenly over the soft eggs. Then toss in a small handful of fresh spinach leaves. The spinach will wilt slightly as the omelette finishes cooking. Make sure you don’t overload the eggs just enough to get a bit of green and cheesy goodness in every bite.
Fold & Finish:
Once the top of the eggs is no longer runny and everything looks just set, use a spatula to gently lift one side of the omelette and fold it over. Be careful not to press down too hard let it stay puffy. The cheese should be a little melty, and the spinach just tender.
Serve It Up:
Carefully slide your folded omelette onto a plate. To make it even better, serve it with half an avocado (sliced) and a few fresh cherry tomatoes on the side. You can also sprinkle on a little more pepper or even some fresh herbs if you’d like a flavor boost.
