Ingredients
3 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup fresh baby spinach, packed tightly
2 tablespoons feta cheese, crumbled
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in an eight-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers.
Add the spinach to the hot pan and sauté for two minutes until wilted.
Remove the spinach from the pan and set it aside on a small plate to drain excess moisture.
Whisk the eggs in a small bowl until the yolks and whites are fully incorporated.
Pour the egg mixture into the same skillet and lower the heat to medium.
Distribute the sautéed spinach and crumbled feta evenly across the surface of the setting eggs.
Fold the omelet carefully in half once the edges solidify and the center appears moist.
Slide onto a plate and season with freshly cracked black pepper before serving.
Notes
Ensure you remove excess moisture from the spinach after sautéing to prevent a watery omelet. Using a non-stick skillet is essential for a clean fold. Room temperature eggs whip better for a fluffier texture.
