How to Make the Perfect Veggie Omelette with Feta Cheese

1. Whisk the Eggs for a Fluffy Texture

Ever wondered why some omelettes are light and airy while others turn out dense? The secret lies in how you whisk the eggs.

Crack the eggs into a bowl, add a splash of milk (if using), and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Whisk them vigorously for about 30–40 seconds. This step incorporates air into the eggs, making your omelette extra fluffy.

2. Sauté the Veggies for Maximum Flavor

Cooking the vegetables beforehand enhances their flavor and ensures they aren’t too watery inside the omelette.

Heat olive oil or butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the diced onions first, followed by bell peppers and cherry tomatoes. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until they soften slightly. Finally, toss in the spinach and cook for another 30 seconds, just until it wilts. Remove the veggies from the pan and set them aside.

3. Cook the Eggs Just Right

Now comes the fun part—cooking the eggs to perfection!

Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the whisked eggs into the pan. Swirl the pan gently so the eggs spread evenly. Let them cook undisturbed for about 1–2 minutes, until the edges start to set.

4. Add the Fillings Without Overloading

Evenly sprinkle the sautéed veggies and crumbled feta cheese over one side of the omelette. Be careful not to overload it—you want the omelette to fold easily!

For an extra burst of flavor, sprinkle a pinch of oregano and chili flakes at this stage.

5. Fold and Finish Cooking

Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelette in half. Let it cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, allowing the cheese to soften and the flavors to meld together.

Once it’s golden and slightly firm, slide it onto a plate.
