Ingredients

• 4 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 medium, diced Red onion
• 100 grams, halved Cherry tomatoes
• 100 grams, fresh Spinach
• 50 grams, crumbled Feta cheese
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them well with a fork. Add salt and black pepper, then whisk until combined.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the diced red onion to the pan and sauté for about 2-3 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 4

Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until it begins to wilt, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 6

Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the empty side of the pan.

Step 7

Pour in the beaten eggs and allow them to spread across the skillet.

Step 8

Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, incorporating the vegetables until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top, around 4-5 minutes.

Step 9

Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the omelet.

Step 10

Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until the cheese melts slightly and the eggs are fully set.

Step 11

Remove from heat and let the omleta rest for a minute before sliding it onto a serving plate.

Step 12

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
