Ingredients:

Eggs and Milk: Whisk together to create a fluffy omelet. This recipe uses 3 eggs for a filling breakfast.

Feta Cheese: A crumbly cheese that has a slighty salty taste. It melts down a bit with the spinach and gets a bit creamy.

Baby Spinach: Milder and less bitter than traditional spinach. It's dainty, steams quickly in this recipe and is high in fiber and vitamins. Try these Spinach Triangles too!

I also highly recommend a large nonstick skillet for omelettes.

Substitutions and Additions:

For added flavor, sauté the spinach with a few cloves of garlic and shallot in another pan before starting the omelet.
The whole milk can be substituted with half and half, 2% milk or skim milk. You can even use 1 tablespoon of water instead if you're in a pinch.
The feta cheese can be substituted with Cheddar, Monterrey jack or Mozzarella.
Bacon would be a yummy addition to the filling too. Crisp it up in a skillet and chop into small pieces. Add in when adding the feta cheese.

How to Make a Spinach Feta Omelet:

Step 1: Whisk eggs and milk together vigorously with a fork until combined.

Step 2: In a large nonstick skillet over medium low heat on the stovetop, add in the butter and allow it to melt.

Step 3: Pour the eggs into the skillet and rotate it slightly to spread into a circle covering the entire pan. Cook for 1 minute.

Step 4: Gently layer the spinach onto one half of the omelet. Cover and cook for 2 minutes.

Step 5: Uncover. Sprinkle salt, pepper and feta cheese over the spinach. Cover again and cook for two minutes.

Step 6: Use a spatula to loosen the edges of the side without the feta and spinach.

Step 7: Flip the empty omelet half over the filling side. Cook covered for 1 minute, then flip and cook for another 1 minute. This is just to make sure it is fully cooked inside. If you like your eggs runnier, feel free to skip this step.

Step 8: Serve and enjoy! Top with additional feta cheese, if desired.

Expert Tips:

Use a nonstick skillet coated in butter to help avoid the eggs sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Watch the heat. If the omelet starts to brown, reduce the stovetop heat closer to low.
Covering the pan is important in this recipe because we rely on steaming to cook the eggs and spinach without having to use multiple pans & lots of flipping.

Recipe FAQs:

How many people does 1 omelet feed?

This recipe uses 3 eggs and it feeds one hungry person or two slightly hungry people. If you have other dishes to serve with it for breakfast, this omelet can feed 2-3 people.

Why add milk to an omelet?

It adds a richer taste to the eggs. I prefer whole milk. Make sure to combine it really well with a fork to create a fluffy texture.

Should you flip an omelet?

By using a lid, like in this recipe, you never have to flip the entire full circle over, just fold one half over. It's an easier way that allows for less mistakes.

What to serve with omelettes?
