Greek Omelet Recipes

GREEK OMELET

Steps:

• Chop spinach and mix well with minced dill and crumbled feta. Set aside.
• Scramble eggs lightly in a bowl with a tablespoon of water.
• In a medium non-stick skillet, add a swirl of olive oil and place over medium heat. Once oil is hot, add eggs. Use a flat spatula to move cooked egg carefully to the center and allow uncooked egg to flow to the outside.
• When the eggs are set on the bottom but still a bit runny on top, add filling to half of the egg and carefully fold egg over to enclose the filling.
• Let cook for another few minutes to finish cooking eggs and heat up filling. To finish cooking the eggs, it might help to either cover the pan for a minute or two or carefully flip the omelet with a spatula so that the other side of the omelet gets some heat also.
• Serve with a pinch of salt and pepper and hot sauce. This is a big omelet and might be enough to split depending on how hungry you are.

GREEK SALAD OMELETTE

Steps:

• Heat the grill to high. Whisk the eggs in a large bowl with the chopped parsley, pepper and salt, if you want. Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan, then fry the onion wedges over a high heat for about 4 mins until they start to brown around the edges. Throw in the tomatoes and olives and cook for 1-2 mins until the tomatoes begin to soften.
• Turn the heat down to medium and pour in the eggs. Cook the eggs in the pan, stirring them as they begin to set, until half cooked, but still runny in places - about 2 mins. Scatter over the feta, then place the pan under the grill for 5-6 mins until omelette is puffed up and golden. Cut into wedges and serve straight from the pan.

MY BIG FAT GREEK OMELET

Steps:

• Heat a 12-inch non-stick skillet over low heat. (Use a 10-inch skillet if you halve the recipe to serve 2 instead of 4.) Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix tomatoes, 1/2 tsp. oregano, 1/4 tsp. salt, and pepper to taste. Stir in feta.
• In a medium bowl, whisk eggs together, then stir in spinach, 1/2 tsp. oregano, 1/4 tsp. salt, and pepper to taste. A few minutes before cooking omelet, add oil to the pan, and increase heat to medium-high. Heat until wisps of smoke start to rise from the pan. Add the egg mixture to the skillet. Using a plastic or wooden spatula to push back the eggs that have set, tilt the pan and let the uncooked egg mixture run onto the empty portion of the pan. Continue pushing back cooked eggs, tilting the pan and letting uncooked egg mixture flow onto the empty portion of the pan until omelet is moist but fully cooked, about 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low; pour the tomato mixture over half of the omelet. Using a slotted, flat spatula or turner, carefully fold the untopped half over the filling. Use the turner to slide the omelet onto a cutting board. Let stand a minute or two for the filling to warm.
• Cut the omelet into 4 wedges and serve immediately.
