Ideally this omelette would be made with fresh spinach and tomatoes, but I had an open can of diced tomatoes that needed to be used up, so I went with that plus some frozen spinach. I probably went a bit heavy on the spinach -- there was too much filling for the omelette to properly roll up around it -- but it was delicious. And having a bit of extra spinach is probably better nutritionally anyway!
Feta, Spinach, and Tomato Omelette
Slightly adapted from The Good Egg by Marie Simmons
Ingredients
- 1-2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1-2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/3 c. diced tomato
- 1/2 tsp. coarse sea salt, divided
- 3/4 c. lightly packed torn fresh spinach leaves (or 1/4-1/2 c. frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed/drained)
- 1 Tbsp. minced fresh dill
- 2-3 Tbsp. crumbled feta
- 3 large eggs
- 2 Tbsp. water
- black pepper, to taste
Directions
- Heat half of the olive oil over medium-low heat.
- Add the garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes and half of the salt and cook for another minute or two.
- Add the spinach and cook until heated through (2-3 minutes).
- Remove from pan and set aside.
- Add remaining oil to pan and warm over medium heat.
- While the oil is heating up, beat the eggs with the water, remaining salt, and pepper to taste.
- Once the pan is hot, pour in the egg mixture and reduce heat to medium-low.
- Cook until the edges are just set (~30 seconds) and then pull the cooked edges into the centre and let the raw egg flow out to the sides.
- Cook, covered, until eggs are almost completely set and just slightly wet on top.
- Add filling to the omelette, covering the third closest to the handle.
- Sprinkle with feta and dill.
- Now fold the third nearest the handle (where the filling is) over the middle third.
- Tilt the pan and roll the omelette out onto a plate.
