Try something a little different for breakfast and make a Greek Omelet using feta cheese, olives, and spinach for a filling.
Jump to RecipeEvery now and then, we get a little crazy with breakfast and think outside the cereal box. This time, Justin decided he wanted to make a Greek omelet for himself. We had some spinach leftover from another dinner, so he was looking for something to make with it, and decided to experiment.
I am not a big fan of Greek food, so I didn’t have any of this. But Justin said it was delicious! He filled the omelet with almost all things I don’t like, including olives and feta cheese. But if you enjoy that type of food, then give this a try!

Greek Omelet Step by Step
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
- 2 oz spinach leaves (chopped)
- 1/4 cup greek olives (chopped)
- 3 eggs
- Salt and Pepper (to taste)

Preparation
Heat a small skillet over medium heat. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and pepper.

Once the pan is warm, pour the egg mixture in and let it cook most of the way through.

Carefully flip the egg over so the other side can cook, and add the fillings to one half of the egg.

After the bottom is cooked, fold the egg over on top of the fillings to make it into the omelet.

I hope your husband enjoys the breakfast! It would be a great surprise for him.
I love the step by step photos. The omelet looks so good, made my mouth water. 🙂 I’ve never tried the Greek version. Will surely do!
If you’re a fan of Greek food, then you should give this a try for sure!
That’s really good! I am Greek and I love putting many different ingredients in the omelet. Next time you can try only feta cheese and some chopped tomatoes to have a summer omelet!

Oh that sounds like a great idea, too!
Now that’s my kind of breakfast! I do love a good omelet and haven’t made a Greek version at home, but now I will!
It’s definitely something different for breakfast! And with so much in it, it should keep you full for a long time.
I don’t know why but I never make omelets. I order them when I eat out, but I never make them at home. They don’t seem that difficult.
I was the same way for a long time. It’s usually my husband who makes them and I never realized how easy they are until he made me one for breakfast one day.
Oh, this looks super yummy. I will definitely have to try this. I love trying new recipes!!
If you like Greek food, then you should definitely give it a try!
Oooh I have all of these ingredients in my fridge. Might try this out tomorrow.
Sounds perfect! I hope you liked it if you had a chance to make the omelet.
They looks so delicious. I’ve never try a Greek recipe before but it turns our to be not very tricky. Thanks for sharing
This is an easy Greek recipe, so it’s a great place to start if you want to try something Greek.
Ohhhh this looks so incredibly yummy! I want to make one for myself.
You should! It’s so easy to make, and you can customize it to your tastes by using more or less of the ingredients.
Ohyummy! I’ve tried a few times to perfect the omelet but no luck. But I’m determined to try this recipe.
It can be tricky sometimes, but I find it just takes a bit of practice. I will admit, my husband is much better at making an omelet than I am!
We make omelette all the time! This one sounds amazing!
My husband is the one who usually makes them, but also makes them often as a great filling breakfast.
Amazing recipe. Looks simple at first glance, but once ready becomes very delicious. And so colorful, so fresh, so yummy! 🙂
Yes, it’s all of those things! And it’s full of good-for-you things so it should keep you full for a long time.
I love omelet and this looks healthy and colourful. Will try to make this for breakfast tomorrow.
Yes, we love being able to add some “color” to our meals.
Now I’m craving breakfast for dinner!! This looks delicious and I’m def going to try it
We do breakfast for dinner a lot at our house! It gives us time to make more interesting meals since we aren’t all super-hungry like in the morning.
