Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

1. Wash and Dry the Spinach: Start by washing the fresh spinach leaves thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. Spinach wilts quickly when cooked, so it’s important to dry the spinach well before adding it to the pan.
2. Crack the Eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and beat them lightly with a fork or whisk. Be sure to whisk the eggs until the yolks and whites are well incorporated, giving the omelette a smooth texture.
3. Prepare the Feta: Crumble the feta cheese into small pieces. If you prefer larger chunks of feta in your omelette, you can leave it in bigger pieces, but crumbling it ensures it melts evenly and mixes well with the eggs and spinach.

Step 2: Sauté the Spinach

1. Heat the Pan: Place a nonstick skillet or frying pan on medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter to the pan and let it melt, ensuring it covers the surface of the pan evenly.
2. Cook the Spinach: Add the spinach to the pan and sauté it for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently. You want the spinach to wilt down but still retain its vibrant green color. The spinach will release moisture as it cooks, so be sure to sauté it just long enough to soften it without making it too soggy.
3. Optional Add-Ins: If you’re adding garlic, onions, mushrooms, or other ingredients, now is the time to add them to the pan. Cook them along with the spinach, allowing the flavors to blend together. If using garlic, cook for 30 seconds before adding the spinach.

Step 3: Make the Omelette

1. Pour the Eggs into the Pan: Once the spinach is cooked, spread it evenly in the pan. Pour the beaten eggs over the spinach. Allow the eggs to settle in the pan without stirring, letting the edges begin to set while the center remains slightly runny. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
2. Add the Feta: Once the eggs are partially set, sprinkle the crumbled feta evenly over one side of the omelette. The cheese will melt into the eggs as they cook, adding richness and flavor.
3. Fold the Omelette: Using a spatula, carefully lift one side of the omelette and fold it over the other side. This creates the classic omelette shape. Allow it to cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the feta is melted.

Step 4: Serve and Garnish

1. Plate the Omelette: Carefully slide the finished omelette onto a plate. You can cut it in half or serve it whole, depending on your preference.
2. Garnish: Garnish the omelette with additional herbs, such as fresh parsley or basil, for a burst of color and flavor. You can also sprinkle extra feta cheese or a dash of black pepper on top for added taste.
3. Serve Immediately: The Spinach and Feta Omelette is best enjoyed immediately while it’s warm and fresh. Pair it with a side of fresh fruit, whole grain toast, or avocado for a balanced meal.
