Instructions

  1. Step 1: Crack 3 eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt and pepper, and whisk vigorously with a fork or whisk until the mixture is frothy and no visible egg yolks remain. Tip: Whisking thoroughly ensures a light, airy omelette texture.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until it shimmers. Add 2 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes (chopped finely) and 5 kalamata olives (pitted and roughly chopped), stirring frequently with a wooden spoon until the tomatoes soften and release their oils, about 3-4 minutes. Tip: Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming instead of sautéing.
  3. Step 3: Sprinkle 30g feta cheese (crumbled into small pieces) over the tomato-olive mixture, stirring gently for 1-2 minutes until the cheese begins to soften and slightly melt. Tip: Use a low heat to prevent the cheese from clumping or burning.
  4. Step 4: Pour the whisked egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread the eggs evenly. Let cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until the edges are golden brown and set, then use a spatula to gently fold the omelette into thirds, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until just cooked through.
  5. Step 5: Transfer the omelette to a plate, top with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or basil if desired, and serve immediately with 2 slices of whole grain toast (toasted in a toaster or pan until golden and crisp). Tip: For extra flavor, warm the toast in the same skillet as the omelette for 1-2 minutes before serving.

How do I scale French-Mediterranean Tomato and Olive Omelette with Feta for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 1 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 1). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
