Why This Omelet Works

The key to a fluffy, soft omelet is moderate heat and gentle cooking. Overcooking eggs can make them rubbery, while low and steady heat allows the proteins to set slowly. Combining sautéed spinach with creamy feta ensures every bite is rich in flavor and texture. Cherry tomatoes add a juicy contrast that balances the saltiness of the feta.

This recipe is versatile, making it easy to customize for dietary preferences. It’s quick enough for weekday breakfasts but also elegant enough for a weekend brunch or light dinner.

Storage & Serving Suggestions

• Storage: Cooked omelets can be stored in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat.
• Serving Suggestions: Pair with a slice of whole-grain toast, avocado slices, or a small side salad for a complete meal.
