There’s something magical about a well-made omelette. It’s warm, fluffy, and gives you that perfect mix of comfort and satisfaction. And when you stuff it with fresh spinach, creamy feta, and juicy tomatoes? Oh, we’re talking next-level goodness.
The spinach adds that subtle earthy bite, while the feta melts just enough to get all creamy and dreamy. Plus, the tomatoes? They bring a bright little pop of sweetness that balances everything out. If you haven’t had a spinach and feta omelette yet, consider this your sign from the breakfast gods.
Why You’ll Love This Omelette
- Super easy to whip up – We’re talking 10-15 minutes max.
- Packed with flavor – A little tangy, a little creamy, a lot delicious.
- Nutritious – Spinach for the greens, eggs for the protein, feta for the soul.
- Looks fancy, tastes fancier – But actually ridiculously simple to make.
Pro Tips for Omelette Perfection
- Don’t overbeat your eggs! Whisk them just until the yolks and whites are combined. Overwhisking can make your omelette tough instead of soft and fluffy.
- Use medium-low heat. A scorched omelette is a sad omelette.
- Crumbled feta is your best friend. It melts into the eggs beautifully without making the whole thing watery.
- Fresh spinach is better, but frozen works too! Just make sure to squeeze out the extra moisture if using frozen.
Ingredient Swaps & Variations
- Not a feta fan? Swap it with goat cheese or shredded mozzarella.
- Want extra protein? Toss in some diced ham or smoked salmon.
- Feeling fancy? Add a sprinkle of fresh herbs like dill or chives for that extra burst of flavor.
Best Pairings for Your Omelette
- A side of crispy, buttered sourdough toast
- Fresh fruit or a simple arugula salad for a light, balanced meal
- A strong cup of coffee (because obviously)

Ingredients
2 large eggs
1/4 cup fresh spinach, chopped
2 tbsp feta cheese, crumbled
3-4 cherry tomatoes, halved
1 tbsp butter or olive oil
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Directions
- Whisk the eggs. Crack your eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt and pepper, and whisk until just combined.
- Heat the pan. Melt butter (or heat olive oil) in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
- Cook the spinach. Toss in the chopped spinach and sauté for 30-45 seconds, just until wilted.
- Add the eggs. Pour the eggs over the spinach, tilting the pan slightly to spread them evenly.
- Add the good stuff. Sprinkle crumbled feta and cherry tomato halves evenly across the eggs.
- Let it set. Cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes, until the edges start to lift.
- Fold & serve. Using a spatula, gently fold the omelette in half. Slide it onto a plate and devour immediately!

Notes
- Want extra fluffiness? Add a splash of milk or cream to your eggs before whisking.
- If you like a little heat, sprinkle in some red pepper flakes.
- Not a morning person? Make the filling (sautéed spinach and tomatoes) the night before to cut down on prep time.
