Ingredients
  

4 large eggs

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/4 cup milk (or your preferred milk alternative)

1 tablespoon olive oil or butter

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

Fresh herbs (such as dill or parsley) for garnish

Instructions
 

Prep the Ingredients: Begin by thoroughly washing the fresh spinach leaves to remove any dirt. Then, finely chop the spinach and set it aside. Crumble the feta cheese into small pieces and set aside as well.

    Whisk the Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, crack open all 4 eggs. Pour in the milk, and sprinkle in the black pepper, salt, and garlic powder if you choose to use it. Use a whisk to mix everything together until the mixture is well blended and fluffy.

      Sauté the Spinach: Place a non-stick skillet on medium heat and add the olive oil or butter. Once the oil is heated or the butter is melted, add the chopped spinach. Sauté the spinach for about 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it has wilted and reduced in volume.

        Combine: Carefully pour the egg mixture over the sautéed spinach in the skillet. Using a spatula, gently spread the spinach evenly throughout the egg mixture to ensure an even cook.

          Add Feta: As the omelet begins to set around the edges — this should take about 1-2 minutes — sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly on top of the omelet.

            Cook: Allow the omelet to cook undisturbed for about 3-4 more minutes. Watch for the edges to firm up while the middle is still slightly jiggly.

              Flip (if desired): If you prefer a fully cooked omelet, carefully fold it in half using a spatula. Alternatively, you can flip it over using a plate if you feel comfortable. Cook on the other side for an additional minute.

                Serve: Once cooked to your taste preference, gently slide the omelet onto a serving plate. Garnish with freshly chopped herbs and serve immediately while warm.
