Ingredients
  

Omelet Base
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • salt and pepper to taste
Filling
  • 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
  • 0.33 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • fresh herbs for garnish

Equipment

  • Non-stick pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Serving plate

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat and sauté spinach until wilted.
  2. Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Remove spinach mixture from pan and set aside, keeping warm.
  4. Whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper in a bowl until well combined.
  5. Melt butter in the same pan over medium-low heat, ensuring even coating.
  6. Pour egg mixture into the pan and let it set for 2-3 minutes without stirring.
  7. Gently lift edges with a spatula, allowing uncooked egg to flow underneath.
  8. When eggs are almost set but still slightly wet on top, add spinach and feta to one half.
  9. Carefully fold the omelet in half using a spatula and slide onto serving plate.
  10. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve immediately while hot.

Notes

For best results, use a non-stick pan and keep heat at medium-low to prevent overcooking. Fresh spinach works better than frozen for texture and flavor.
