1 onion, chopped
4 cups spinach, stems removed if needed
4 eggs, whisked
salt and pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon dried oregano

Directions

I let the omelette cook gently until set, folding it in half before serving.

Variations

I sometimes add crumbled feta for a tangy twist, or swap the mushrooms for bell peppers when I want something sweeter. I also enjoy adding a pinch of chili flakes for extra warmth. When I’m in the mood for more richness, I use a bit of butter in place of the olive oil.

Storage/Reheating

I keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. I reheat the omelette gently in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave for a short burst to avoid overcooking the eggs.
