I love using the lid trick when making these. Place a lid over the omelet while it's cooking so you don’t have to worry about flipping or lifting the omelet.

Oregano: popular Greek spice
Garlic Powder: adds flavor but doesn’t give the omelet a strong garlic taste.
Feta Cheese: gives the omelet a nice cheesy tang
🔪 How to Make a Spinach and Feta Omelet
1. Beat Eggs: In a small bowl, beat together eggs, oregano, garlic powder, and salt.
2. Cook Spinach: Melt a tablespoon of butter in a small skillet. Add spinach, and cook for 1-2 minutes. Transfer the spinach to a plate.
3. Cook Eggs: Add remaining butter to the skillet. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Cover with a lid and cook for 1-2 minutes or until the eggs have almost set.
4. Add Filling: Sprinkle spinach and fetta onto one side.
5. Cook: Cover and cook for another minute or until the eggs are no longer runny.
6. Fold: Fold the omelet in half and slide it onto a plate.
Variations

👩🍳Tips & Tricks
- For a thinner omelet, use 2 eggs; for a thicker one, use 3 eggs
- I used a 9” pan and two eggs. If you cook the omelet in a larger pan, use 3 eggs so your omelet is not too thin. If you use a smaller pan, only use 2 eggs.
