The Incredible Edible Egg
"The incredible edible egg." This is a jingle from an egg commercial from my childhood that I remember. I 100% agree that eggs are pretty incredible.
I love eggs in any way, shape, or form. Hard or soft boiled, scrambled, over easy, sunny side up (one of my favorites!)...all these preparations are wonderful.
Eggs are also good for you, as they are a nutrition powerhouse! High in protein, they also contain many nutrients that offer tremendous health benefits. So eggs are delicious, easy on your pocketbook, and are good for you...WIN WIN WIN!
The Greek Omelette
I adore the versatility of eggs. Eggs are great eaten anytime...breakfast, lunch, brunch, or dinner!
I am delighted to share this recipe for a Greek Omelette, which is awesome as a meal served anytime of the day. This would be the perfect luxurious breakfast to start out your day, or would make for a delicious light dinner, perhaps served with a salad.

🥘 Ingredients
The ingredients of this omelette are simple, fresh, and colorful! You will need the following to make this dish:
- Large Eggs - I recommend pasture raised eggs
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Fresh garlic
- Fresh spinach (I used fresh baby spinach)
- Feta cheese
- Cherry tomatoes
- Red onion
- Green onions
- Olive oil - a great healthy fat and so good for you! Use Greek olive oil if possible!
I hope you are excited about the combination of these delicious ingredients to make this Greek style spinach omelette!
🍽 Equipment
There are a few pieces of equipment that I will recommend you use for the best results when making this easy recipe.
- A non-stick skillet; I used a 10" Tramontina nonstick pan, and highly recommend this wonderful pan which is safe to a 400 f oven; eggs slide right off this pan!
- A rubber spatula or silicone spatula for use with your pan (recommended so that you don't scratch your pan)
🔪 Instructions
Whisk your eggs, salt and pepper in a small bowl, and set it aside for now.
Heat ½ the olive oil in a nonstick omelette pan on medium-high heat. Add ½ of the spinach, tomatoes, red onion, and garlic to the hot pan and stir fry for around 1 minute or until spinach is wilted.
Turn the heat down to medium heat. Add ½ of the beaten eggs. Once egg is starting to set around the edges of the omelet, using a spatula, gently lift an edge of the egg and tilt the pan to let the runny part run underneath so that it too can cook. Keep repeating this around the pan until most of the egg has set, and there is very little runny egg left. Sprinkle ½ of the feta cheese on top. This may take between 1-2 minutes.
Using a spatula, carefully lift one side (half of the omelette) and fold it over.
Then fold over the other side, and turn over so that the folded sides are underneath. Allow to continue to cook for approximately 30 sec - 1 minute.
Remove your omelette to a warmed serving plate. Garnish with additional feta cheese and ½ of the green onion. Keep in a warm oven and repeat these instructions for the second omelette.
Add additional salt and pepper to taste. However bear in mind that the feta cheese is quite salty, so you may want to go easy on any extra salt.
That's it! Your delicious omelette is now ready to serve!
