This Spinach and Feta Omelette is a fluffy, tasty breakfast or brunch dish. It has soft eggs filled with fresh spinach and creamy feta cheese, making each bite both light and flavorful.
I like to make this when I want something quick and healthy. Sometimes I add a little extra feta just because I love that salty taste!
For an even quicker meal, I keep chopped spinach and feta ready in the fridge. It’s easy to whip up in just a few minutes, perfect for busy mornings!
Ingredients & Substitutions
Spinach: I like using fresh spinach for a tender crunch, but frozen works well if you squeeze out excess moisture first. It adds a bright flavor and nutrients. A handful or two is enough. Other greens like kale or Swiss chard are good swaps.
Feta Cheese: This cheese gives the omelette its salty, tangy kick. I prefer crumbled feta, but you can try goat cheese or ricotta for a creamier, milder taste. Use about a quarter cup or to taste for a balanced flavor.
Eggs: Fresh eggs make a fluffy omelette. I usually use large eggs, but any size works if you adjust the quantity. For extra richness, add a splash of milk or cream—just a teaspoon per egg. You can also use egg whites for a lighter version.
Onion (optional): A little diced onion can add a sweet, savory layer. I sauté it first until soft, but green onions or chives are quick options if you’re in a rush. Use about 1 tablespoon diced onion or to preference.
How do I flip the omelette without it breaking?
Use a wide, flat spatula. Once the eggs are mostly set, carefully slide the spatula underneath and tilt the pan slightly. Gently lift and flip the omelette over or fold it in half. Practice helps—don’t worry if it takes a few tries!
- Wait until the edges look firm and the top is nearly set, about 1-2 minutes.
- Slide the spatula under carefully, supporting the entire omelette.
- Gently lift and flip or fold in half to finish cooking evenly.
