Ingredients:

1 tsp olive oil

1 tomato
60g
1 cup spinach
30g
2 eggs
110g
1 egg white egg whites
33g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1.50 oz feta cheese
44g
1/2 tbsp basil
2.65g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Finely chop the onion.
- Dice the tomato.
- Roughly chop the spinach.
- Crack the eggs and separate one egg to use only the egg white. Whisk together the 2 eggs and the egg white in a small bowl. Season with a dash of salt and black pepper.

2. Sauté the Vegetables:
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add 1 tsp of olive oil to the skillet.
- Add the diced onion and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until softened.
- Stir in the diced tomato and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
- Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
3. Cook the Omelet:
- Pour the whisked eggs over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet.
- Tilt the skillet to ensure the eggs coat the entire bottom.
- Let the eggs cook without stirring until they begin to set around the edges.
4. Add Feta and Basil:
- Once the eggs start to set but are still a bit runny on top, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the omelet.
- Sprinkle with 1/2 tbsp of basil.
5. Finish Cooking:
- Fold the omelet in half using a spatula.
- Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes until the eggs are fully set and the cheese is slightly melted.
6. Serve and Enjoy:
- Carefully slide the omelet onto a plate.
- Garnish with additional basil or fresh herbs if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your Greek omelet with feta cheese.

Tips:

- Preparation: Chop all your vegetables and measure out your ingredients before starting to cook. This will make the cooking process smoother and quicker.

- Cooking: Cook the vegetables first to ensure they are tender and flavorful before adding the eggs to the pan.

- Heat Control: Cook the omelet over medium heat to avoid burning the eggs or vegetables. If the pan is too hot, the eggs will cook too quickly and become rubbery.

- Feta Addition: Add the feta cheese towards the end of the cooking process. This allows it to soften without melting completely, providing a creamy texture.

- Serving: Serve the omelet immediately after cooking for the best texture and flavor. Garnish with additional fresh basil for an extra burst of flavor.

There you have it—a delightful Greek omelet with feta cheese that's both healthy and delicious. It's a versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, brunch, or even a light dinner. The combination of fresh vegetables, creamy feta cheese, and aromatic basil makes this omelet a must-try. Enjoy your meal!
