Spinach and Feta Omelet

Recipe makes 1 serving

Ingredients:

2 large eggs
1 tablespoon heavy cream
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
2 tablespoons shredded parmesan cheese

Instructions:

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Add chopped spinach to the skillet and sauté until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Set aside.

In a bowl, beat the eggs and heavy cream together until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Crumble the feta cheese into the egg mixture and stir gently to incorporate.

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and swirl to spread evenly.

Cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges start to set and the bottom is lightly golden.

Spread the sautéed spinach evenly over one half of the omelet. Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the spinach. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the omelet is cooked through and the cheese is melted.

Slide the omelet onto a plate. Sprinkle shredded parmesan cheese over the top.
