Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Omelette Base
  • 8 large eggs Whisk until well combined for a smooth texture.
  • 1 cup fresh spinach Chop finely and steam lightly before adding.
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese Crumbled or finely chopped to ensure even melting.
  • 1/4 cup milk Use whole milk or cream for creamier texture.
  • 2 tablespoons butter For cooking the omelette, ensures richness and prevents sticking.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt Adjust to taste.
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper Optional, for flavor.

Method
 

Prepare the Omelette
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth. This will create a light and fluffy texture.
  2. In a non-stick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over low heat. Add the finely chopped spinach and sauté gently until it wilts, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet over the wilted spinach and cook on low heat. Use a spatula to gently lift the edges of the omelette as it cooks to allow the uncooked eggs to flow underneath. Cook until the eggs are set but still soft, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over one half of the omelette. Carefully fold the other half over the cheese, allowing it to melt slightly. Cook for an additional minute.
  5. Slide the omelette onto a plate and let it cool for a minute before cutting into wedges. The omelette should feel soft and tender to the touch.

Notes

Texture Tips: To achieve the softest texture, ensure you cook the eggs slowly over low heat, which prevents toughening. For a creamier consistency, consider adding a little extra milk or cream to the egg mixture. If needed, the omelette can be blended for an even smoother texture.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a microwave to maintain softness. The omelette should feel light and fluffy, and any visible liquid should be minimal before serving.
