Tips for the perfect omelette
Let your eggs come to room temperature. Take them out of the fridge 20-30 minutes before beating them.Beat the eggs properly. They should be uniform in color and slightly frothy after beating.Use the right pan. An 8-9 inch non-stick skillet is perfect. If you use a larger pan, the omelette becomes too thin.Don’t overcook the eggs, otherwise they will get hard.
How to make Mediterranean Omelette
Crack the eggs in a bowl (2 or 3 per omelette) and whisk them with salt and pepper. Heat some olive oil in a skillet. Add in spinach, halved cherry tomatoes and kalamata olives, and chopped parsley. Saute until spinach wilts. Plate them out. In the same pan, add more oil and pour in the whisked eggs. Let it set for a minute or two. You have an option to keep it like a plain crepe or give it a little stir with a spoon to make it a little fluffy. Flip it over cover with a lid and cook till desired doneness (I did about two minutes). Remove to a plate, spread on the veggie mixture and give it a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese.
What to serve with Mediterranean Omelette
It’s a nutritious, low carb breakfast all on it’s own. If you want something on the side, our first choice would be your favorite variety of toast. Other options could be grits or sauteed potatoes.
Variations
