blog recipe #3 of 365

Hello friends!! Today I did a breakfast recipe! This is my spinach and feta omelette! I hope guys like it as much as me 8) I use to be absolutely terrible at making an omelette, it would end up scrambled instead of folded hahaha.  So if your thinking "no way" dont worry, Ive mastered the art!  I figured out you just have to treat your eat patty like a pancake! But make sure you flip it quickly and dont hold it to high off the pan.  Also if you can find one of those awesome super large pancake flippers, it will make your day!....it did mine 8)
Happy cooking!!


Spinach and feta omelette               prep time: 10mins  cook time: 15mins     
1 egg
3 egg whites
¼ cup feta (crumbled)
2 Tbsp chopped sweet onion
3 thin slices of tomato
1 ½ cups of spinach
2 cloves garlic (chopped)
1 Tsp oregano
½ Tsp pepper
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp earth balance butter
Heat oil in a medium sized pan, on medium heat.  Whisk egg and whites in a bowl; add half amount of garlic, half the feta, onions and spices.  Mix in well, pour egg mixture into pan.  Gently place the tomatoes on the top of one have of egg patty.
Let cook until the egg rises, approx 5-8 mins.
Meanwhile, in a separate small pan, melt the butter, then add the spinach and leftover garlic.  Sauté until spinach wilted
 Flip the egg patty like a pancake, let cook for another 1-2 mins.  Flip back over; add the cooked spinach and remaining feta.  Fold in half, turn heat off and let sit for 3 mins.

This recipe is gluten free, and vegetarian.
(notice the tomatoes on one side only, thats to make it less bulky when folding)
