OMELETTE
- 1 large handful of baby spinach leaves washed
- 1 small handful fresh parsley
- 1 small handful fresh coriander
- 3 eggs
FILLING
- 30 g Feta cheese crumbled
- ½ small red onion sliced
- 5 red cherry tomatoes sliced
- 2 TBSP olive oil
- ½ avocado sliced
- 1 TBSP pine nuts toasted
- Chopped chives to garnish
Begin by placing the spinach, parsley, coriander and eggs in a mini food processor and blitz until fully combined. If you do not have a mini processor, simply chop the spinach and herbs finely and add to whisked eggs. Season with salt and pepper.
Drizzle half of the olive oil into a frying pan. Once the oil has heated, pour in the egg, spinach and herb mixture. Allow to cook for about 5-6 minutes to allow it to set.
Once the omelette has set, add the crumbles feta, sliced onion, tomato and avocado. Fold the omelette in half using a spatula and ease the omelette onto a serving plate.
Serve with fresh rocket leaves, any extra tomatoes, chopped chives, toasted pine nuts and a drizzle of the remaining olive oil.
Can I prepare this in advance?
You can prepare the omelette mixture to the point of whisking/blending and store it in the fridge in a suitable container with a lid. Once you are ready to cook the omelette, simply heat the oil and pour the egg mixture into the pan and cook as per instructions.
What if I don’t have all of the herbs?
This omelette gets a lot of its amazing flavour from the variety of ingredients it contains – each of the herbs have their own unique flavour profile but sometimes we don’t always have access to such variety! If you only have one of the herbs, just use that. The flavour will be affected but it will still taste amazing! Cooking is about improvising and using what is in season and what you have available.
