👨🍳 Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk the large eggs, milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until frothy.
Heat butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add the baby spinach, and sauté for 1 minute until wilted.
Pour the whisked egg mixture directly over the spinach in the skillet, tilting the pan so eggs coat the bottom evenly.
Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the edges are set and the center is slightly soft.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over one half of the omelet.
Gently fold the other half of the omelet over the feta filling, cook for 1 more minute, then slide onto a plate.
Serve hot alongside a slice of buttered whole-wheat toast.
⚠️ Common Mistakes
- ✕
Overcooking eggs: Remove the omelet from heat while slightly glossy; residual heat finishes cooking it.
- ✕
Flipping too roughly: Fold the omelet in half rather than trying to flip it completely over to keep fillings secure.
🔄 Variations
Tomato boost: Add diced cherry tomatoes in with the spinach.
Gluten-free swap: Use certified gluten-free toast.
Nut-free safety: Naturally 100% nut-free and school-safe.
🧊 Storage
- 📦
Refrigerator life: Best enjoyed fresh immediately after cooking.
- 📦
Reheating: Reheat leftover omelet in the microwave for 30 seconds.
💡 Chef Tips
Spinach shrinkage: Spinach cooks down rapidly in 60 seconds; don't worry if the pan looks overflowing initially.
Feta tang: Feta cheese adds a fantastic salty bite that elevates plain eggs into a gourmet breakfast.
Medium heat: Cook the omelet over medium-low heat so the bottom doesn't burn before the eggs set.
