Greek Omelette
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 6 cage-free brown eggs
- 1/2 can of your favorite diced tomatoes( the fire roasted are a great addition to this recipe)
- 1/2 cup of crumbled feta cheese( the feta cheese from Aldis is a great choice)
- 1/4 tsp salt and pepper
- 1/4 tsp oregano
- 1/4 garlic powder
- 1 cup of spinach
Directions
- Begin, by prepping your Ingredients. Crack the 6 eggs into a large enough bowl. Whisk together or mix with a fork until yolk and egg whites are combined. When opening the can of diced tomatoes open it slightly to drain most of the liquid out into a nearby sink. Grab your cutting board and a good enough knife and carefully chop the spinach(watch how to chop spinach). Set your ingredients aside.
- Next, place your frying pan on the stovetop and turn that stovetop knob to medium-high heat(you know your stove best) add your oil to the pan.
- Once, the oil is heated add your whisked eggs to the pan letting them cook for about 3 minutes. During the 3 minutes use a spatula or wooden spoon to lift a side of the omelette allowing the runny portion to seep to the sides of the pan to cook. After, they have had a chance to cook a bit split the egg halfway down the pan(creating two omelets).
- Afterward, add your spices, spinach, and 1/2 can of diced tomatoes. Place a lid over the pan for 2-3 minutes to finish cooking the rest of the eggs and added ingredients.
- Lastly, Fold both omelettes in half to make it easier to transfer to a plate(you can fold it as much as you want but in half is easier). The omelette doesn’t have to look perfect.. it will taste yummy!
