- Olive oil 1 tsp

Prepare Ingredients.
Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Drain well and pat dry with a paper towel. Crumble the feta cheese into small pieces. Separate the egg whites from the yolks if not already separated.
Tip: Use a salad spinner or paper towels to dry spinach well to avoid soggy omelette. -
Toast the Bread.
Place the two slices of whole wheat bread in a toaster or on a pan over medium heat and toast until golden brown and crisp. Set aside to serve with the omelette.
Tip: Toast bread while preparing the omelette to save time. -
Cook the Spinach.
Heat half the olive oil (about 1/2 tsp) in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the fresh spinach and sauté for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Remove from pan and set aside.
Tip: Cook spinach just until wilted to keep its bright green color and nutrients. -
Cook the Omelette.
Add the remaining olive oil (1/2 tsp) to the skillet and reduce heat to medium-low. Pour the egg whites evenly into the pan. Let them cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes until they begin to set around the edges.
Tip: Use a non-stick pan and moderate heat to avoid sticking and browning. -
Add Filling.
Sprinkle the sautéed spinach evenly over one half of the egg whites. Then, evenly distribute the crumbled feta cheese on top of the spinach.
Tip: Distribute filling evenly for balanced flavor in every bite. -
Fold Omelette and Finish Cooking.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the empty half of the omelette over the filled half. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the egg whites are fully set and the cheese slightly melts.
Tip: Cover the pan with a lid to help the cheese melt evenly. -
Serve.
Slide the omelette onto plates and serve immediately with the toasted whole wheat bread on the side.
Tip: Add freshly ground black pepper or herbs if desired for extra flavor.
Pro tips
- Use fresh egg whites separated carefully to avoid yolk contamination for a cleaner taste and texture.
- Preheat your non-stick pan well before adding egg whites to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
