Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk or cream (optional)
- 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (or diced tomatoes)
- 1/2 cup baby spinach, chopped
- 2 tablespoons red onion, diced
- 2 tablespoons kalamata olives, sliced
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- Optional garnish: fresh parsley, oregano, or basil
Instructions
In a bowl, whisk eggs with salt, pepper, and milk or cream if using.
- Heat olive oil or butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Sauté diced red onion for 1–2 minutes until softened.
- Add cherry tomatoes and spinach, cooking until tomatoes soften and spinach wilts.
- Stir in sliced olives and cook for another minute.
- Pour the whisked eggs evenly over the vegetables and tilt the pan to spread.
- As eggs begin to set, gently lift edges with a spatula to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
- Sprinkle crumbled feta on top and cook until eggs are mostly set.
- Fold omelet in half and cook for another minute until done but moist inside.
- Slide onto a plate, garnish with herbs if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
- Cook veggies before adding eggs to enhance flavor and prevent excess moisture.
- For extra flavor, mix fresh herbs into the egg mixture.
- Use egg whites only for a lighter version.
- Feta is traditional, but goat cheese or mozzarella work well too.
