Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash and dry the spinach and arugula.
- Finely chop the shallots and dill.
- Crumble the feta cheese if it's not pre-crumbled.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Lightly coat the skillet with a short spray of cooking oil.
- Add the chopped shallots to the skillet and sauté until they become translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the spinach and arugula to the skillet, cooking until they are wilted. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
- In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg whites with a fork until frothy.
- Pour the beaten egg whites into the skillet over the sautéed vegetables.
- Use a spatula to gently spread the egg whites and mix them with the vegetables.
- Reduce heat to low and cook until the egg whites are set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the omelette.
- Add the chopped dill on top.
- Continue to cook the omelette until the feta cheese is slightly melted and the eggs are fully cooked, about 1-2 more minutes.
- Carefully slide the omelette onto a plate.
- Cut into desired portions and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Make sure to thoroughly wash the spinach and arugula before using them to remove any dirt or impurities.
- When cooking the shallots, sauté them until they become translucent to release their natural sweetness.
- Crack and separate the egg whites carefully to ensure no yolk gets mixed in for a lighter omelette.
- Use a non-stick pan and the spray of cooking oil sparingly to prevent the omelette from sticking.
- Crumble the feta cheese evenly over the omelette while it cooks so it melts slightly and blends with the other ingredients.
- Feel free to add other Greek-inspired ingredients such as Kalamata olives or sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor.
Enjoy your Greek-style omelette as a perfect start to your day or a protein-packed meal that is both wholesome and flavorful. The combination of spinach, arugula, shallots, dill, and feta cheese offers a delightful mix of textures and tastes that make this dish truly special.
