Spinach and Feta Omelette

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided
• 2 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes, julienned
• 1 cup chopped spinach
• 1 medium garlic clove, minced
• 1/4 cup crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese
• 4 large eggs
• 1 tsp dill
• 1 tsp dried parsley
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• salt
• freshly ground black pepper

Makes 2 Servings

1. Warm 1 teaspoon of oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
2. Add spinach and tomatoes, cook until softened, let sit in pan 2 minutes to begin wilting. Cook 8 minutes, until tender, stirring occasionally. Scrape mixture out of pan into a medium bowl. Stir in feta cheese.
3. In small bowl, lightly beat eggs, dill, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper. Wipe out skillet with paper towel; add remaining 1 tablespoon oil and place over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add eggs; let them sit for 3 seconds, until edges begin to set. Using a spatula, draw the lightly cooked egg to the center of the pan. Tilt the pan to the side so the uncooked egg runs to the bare spot at the edge of the pan. Repeat process all around the edges of the pan until omelet is just set but still moist.
4. Add spinach filling evenly over top half of the omelet. Cook a few more seconds to melt cheese. Run the spatula quickly along the side of the pan to loosen the edges. Jerk the pan sharply away from you a few times; the omelet should slide up the far side of the pan. Tilt the pan, resting the far edge on a serving plate. Gently roll omelet onto plate, using the spatula to fold over the omelet. Serve immediately.

Note: I created this recipe earlier this month. I wasn't in the mood for a big heavy dinner and I was in the mood for breakfast for dinner. Omelette are a heart healthy meal that can be enjoyed anytime of day. Omelettes are also a blank canvass where you can create any kind of filling and it will taste delicicous. I used spinach, sun-dried tomatoes and feta cheese for the filling and used parsley, dill and oregano mixed in with the eggs for an authentic Greek taste. This creation was simple yet delicious and also very filling. Plus, omelettes can be made in 20 minutes or less. So if you're ever craving a light dinner but you don't know what to make, always count on omelettes.
