Actual Cooking Time: 15 to 30 minutes
Number of Servings: 2
Origin: Mediterranean & Mid-Eastern
Special Features: Quick to Prepare (under 30 minutes)
Simple (6 ingredients or less)
Meal Type: Breakfast & Brunch
Ingredients
1/4 cup Cooked spinach
4 Large eggs
1/2 cup Crumbled feta cheese, (2 ounces)
2 Scallions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons Chopped fresh dill
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
2 teaspoons Extra-virgin olive oil
Preparation
1. Squeeze spinach to remove any excess water. Blend eggs with a fork in a medium bowl. Add feta, scallions, dill, pepper and the spinach; mix gently with a rubber spatula.
2. Set a rack about 4 inches from the heat source; preheat the broiler.
3. Heat oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and tilt to distribute evenly. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the bottom is light golden, lifting the edges to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath, 3 to 4 minutes. Place the pan under the broiler and cook until the top is set, 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Slide the omelet onto a platter and cut into wedges.
