Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 4 cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing your ingredients: halve the cherry tomatoes, crumble the feta cheese, and finely chop the fresh parsley and basil.
Step 2
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, add the salt and black pepper, and beat them together with a fork until well blended.
Step 3
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the spinach and saute for about 2 minutes until wilted.
Step 4
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and continue to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing them to soften slightly.
Step 5
Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet, tilting the skillet to ensure the eggs are evenly distributed. Let the eggs cook without stirring for about 2-3 minutes, or until the edges just start to set.
Step 6
Sprinkle the feta cheese, parsley, and basil evenly over the top of the omelet.
Step 7
Using a spatula, gently lift one edge of the omelet and fold it over towards the center. Repeat on the other side to create an envelope or a roll.
Step 8
Allow the omelet to continue cooking for another minute to ensure the interior is set and the cheese is slightly melted.
Step 9
Carefully slide the omelet onto a plate and serve immediately with a side of whole-grain toast or a simple green salad for a complete Mediterranean meal.
