Perfect Spinach & Feta Omelet

Pin recipeFollow us 70.9k

Everyone should know how to make the perfect omelet. The rule is simple: do not overcook it. If you often end up with dry omelet, have a look at this great guide from Jamie Oliver on how to make the perfect omelet in just a few minutes. You can use all sorts of toppings: bacon & mushroom, tomato & olive, ham & cheese or my favourite: spinach, mushroom and feta! This is a large keto breakfast so if you don't feel hungry, I suggest you only make the omelet using two eggs instead of three.

Ingredients (make 1 serving)

• 3 large eggs, free-range or organic
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 cup white mushrooms, sliced (70 g / 2.5 oz)
• 3 cups spinach, fresh (90 g / 3.2 oz) or ²/₃ cup frozen and thawed (100 g / 3.5 oz)
• ¹/₃ cup feta cheese, crumbled (50 g / 1.8 oz)
• 2 tbsp ghee - you can make your own (30 g / 1.1 oz)
• salt and pepper to taste (I like pink Himalayan salt)

Note: When looking for ingredients, try to get them in their most natural form (organic, without unnecessary additives).

Instructions

1. First, prepare the filling. Peel and finely dice the garlic and place on a pan greased with a tablespoon of ghee. Season with salt and cook over a medium-high heat for just a minute until fragrant. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes until lightly browned stirring occasionally.
2. Add the spinach and cook until wilted for just a minute or two (squeeze out the water if using frozen and thawed spinach). Take off the heat and place in a bowl. Discard the excess liquids before using the pan for cooking the omelet.
3. Crack the eggs into a bowl and mix using a fork. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
   
4. Pour the eggs evenly in a hot pan greased with a tablespoon of ghee. Use a spatula to bring in the egg from the sides towards to centre for the first 30 seconds. Tilt the pan as needed to cover it with the eggs. Lower the heat and cook for another minute. Don't rush it and don't try to cook it fast or the omelet will end up being too crispy and dry. The desired texture should be soft and fluffy.
5. When the top is almost cooked, add the spinach and mushroom topping and crumbled feta. Fold the omelet in half, cook for another minute just to warm up the topping and slide on a serving plate.
   Enjoy!
