📝 Ingredients

• 2 large Eggs (beaten (note 1))
• 2 teaspoons Olive Oil ((note 2))
• 1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 1/8 teaspoon Salt ((note 3))
• 1/8 teaspoon Ground Pepper ((note 4))
• 2 teaspoons Olive Oil ((note 2))
• 1 Garlic Clove (crushed)
• 3 cups Baby Spinach ((note 5))
• 1/8 teaspoon Salt
• 1/3 cup Feta Cheese (crumbled)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1In a small bowl, beat eggs with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Set aside in the fridge.
2. 2Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, warm olive oil, then stir in baby spinach, crushed garlic, salt, and pepper.
3. 3Stir and cook until the spinach has wilted, then remove it from the pan, set it aside on a plate, and cover it with foil.
4. 4Rub the pan with absorbent paper to remove any green color released by the spinach. Add olive oil, warm again over medium-high heat, and tilt the pan to spread all over the surface.
5. 5Reduce to medium-low heat, pour the beaten eggs, and tilt the pan again to spread the egg mixture over the skillet.
6. 6Cook until the sides of the omelet are set and dry. Lift the sides with a spatula to let the uncooked eggs from the middle run under and cook.
7. 7Once the middle of the omelet starts to dry out, sprinkle half of the crumbled feta cheese on one half of the omelet, then add the previously cooked spinach and more feta on top.
8. 8Fold the omelette in half, reduce to low heat, and keep cooking until warm and the feta starts to melt.
9. 9Gently slide on a plate and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt and pepper. Serve with fresh basil leaves and a pinch of cayenne pepper for spicy flavors.
