This golden brown omelette is stuffed with veggies and feta cheese, worthy of the Greek gods!
Envision yourself reclining on a terrace that overlooks the Mediterranean Sea. Crystal-clear waves twinkle with fresh morning light as the sun rises over the island-speckled horizon. Alongside the scent of seawater, you catch a whiff of oregano and fresh mint. Someone’s cooking a special breakfast, just for you.
This Greek omelette is a gift from the gods! But you don’t need to fly to Greece to enjoy it. In just 10 minutes, you can experience this little piece of paradise for yourself, in the comfort of your own home. Packed with the classic combo of tomatoes, spinach, kalamata olives, and feta cheese, this omelette is perfect by itself or with a side of golden brown Air Fryer Breakfast Potatoes.
Whether you make one serving for yourself, or multiply the batch for your family and friends, the Greek omelette is a tasty way to start your day.
Is Greek Omelette Healthy?
Not only is it tasty, this recipe is also healthy. It’s got plenty of protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. There’s no added sugar, gluten, or meat. To make it dairy-free, simply replace feta with dairy-free cheese or omit altogether. Easy peasy!
Gear Up For A Gyro Omelette
Want to take this omelette a step further? Consider incorporating a Greek classic: gyro. Gyro is rotisserie-cooked meat that’s sliced and typically served wrapped in a pita or over rice. While it’s not typically included in a Greek omelette, it’s an interesting variation to try!
You can find pre-cooked gyro meat at larger grocery stores like Costco, or you can cook a homemade version that mimics the flavor of the spit-roasted meat. For a vegetarian option, add some crumbled Baked Falafel or Roasted Chickpeas to your omelette instead.
How to make ahead and store
Let the omelette come to room temperature before storing it in an airtight container in the fridge. Since egg-based dishes are best enjoyed fresh, I recommend eating leftovers within 24 hours of storing. Reheat the omelette in a skillet over low heat until warmed through.
Serving Suggestions
As you can see, there are plenty of options for how to serve this Greek omelette. Drizzle it with a traditional Greek Tzatziki Sauce or a non-traditional (but delicious and complementary) Tahini, and top with fresh herbs or a dash of your favorite hot sauce. You can also serve the Greek omelette with satisfying sides, like Air-Fryer Sweet Potatoes, Mediterranean Grilled Avocado, Low-Carb Broccoli Salad, or Air-Fryer Breakfast Sausage.
