Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 100 grams chorizo sausage
• 100 grams cherry tomatoes
• 50 grams spinach
• 50 grams feta cheese
• 0.5 medium red onion
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the ingredients: slice the chorizo into thin rounds, halve the cherry tomatoes, roughly chop the spinach, crumble the feta cheese, and finely chop the parsley.

Step 2

Crack the eggs into a bowl, add salt and black pepper, and whisk until well combined. Set aside.

Step 3

In a non-stick frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced chorizo and cook for about 3-4 minutes until it begins to brown and release its oils.

Step 4

Add the chopped red onion and cook for another 2 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 5

Add the tomatoes to the pan and cook for 2 minutes until they start to soften.

Step 6

Add the spinach to the pan and cook until wilted, approximately 1-2 minutes.

Step 7

Pour the whisked eggs into the pan, tilting it slightly to distribute the eggs evenly.

Step 8

Sprinkle the crumbled feta evenly over the cooking eggs.

Step 9

Cover the pan with a lid and reduce the heat to low, allowing the omelette to cook for about 5 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your liking.

Step 10

Once the omelette is cooked, carefully slide it onto a serving plate and garnish with the chopped parsley.

Step 11

Serve immediately, and enjoy your Mediterranean Diet Chorizo Omelette!
