I’ve been to Greece several times and never, ever tire of the people, place or food.
I’ve also adopted six cats from the streets of Athens over the years, but that’s a story for another time 😅
The food is always incredible and I love recreating the flavours I found there. Below are the ideal ingredients for this recipe, but there are several clever substitutions you can make if you need to!
Remember, a good pan is essential for a top-class omelette, and a pan like this is perfect!
Ingredients & Substitutions
- Eggs: Free‑range for best flavour; sub 8 egg whites for lighter macros.
- Olive oil or butter: Sesame oil gives nutty aroma true to the recipe.
- Baby spinach: Optional – but adds colour & iron. Omit for strict feta omelette classic.
- Sundried tomatoes: Swap for cherry tomato halves if you prefer fresh.
- Spring onions: Use red onion slivers for stronger bite.
- Feta cheese: Sheep‑milk feta for authentic Greek taste; goat cheese works too.
- Sesame seeds: Toast lightly; or sprinkle with oregano for a herb twist.
How to Make the Greek Tomato & Feta Omelette
Prep veggies
Chop spinach & sundried tomatoes, slice onions.
Heat pan
Coat a non‑stick skillet with olive or sesame oil over medium.
Whisk eggs
Season with salt & pepper; pour half into pan for first omelette.
Add fillings
When eggs begin to set, scatter tomato, spinach, spring onion & feta on one side.
Fold & finish
Fold once; let residual heat cook the centre. Slide onto plate, repeat for second omelette.
Pro Tips
- Runny centre rule: Fold the omelette while slightly under‑done; trapped steam finishes cooking for a delicate texture.
- Two‑omelette method: Splitting batter ensures even cook‑through and Instagram‑worthy folds.
- Warm the feta: Crumble cheese at room temp so it softens fast without overcooking the eggs.
Variations
- Spinach Feta Omelette: Double spinach for a green Greek omelette rich in iron.
- Sun‑Dried Tomato Feta Omelette: Add extra tomatoes for intense umami notes.
- Keto Greek Omelette: Replace sundried tomatoes with diced olives to drop carbs below 3 g.
Serving Suggestions
- Pair with cucumber salad and olives for a full Mediterranean breakfast plate.
- Serve in pita pockets for a portable brunch.
- Sprinkle with fresh oregano and a squeeze of lemon.
Ingredients
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1 tbsp sundried tomatoes
- 2 spring onions
- 1 tbsp sesame/olive oil or butter
- 6 eggs

- 1 tsp sesame seeds
Instructions

- Whisk the eggs, add a little salt and pepper. Pour half the egg mixture in the pan, give it a gentle ruffle/stir and let it fry on medium heat. This is for the first omelette.6 eggs
- When the mixture is a little firmer, add half of the all the ingredients to it except for the sesame seeds. This includes the feta, spinach, tomatoes, spring onions etc.
- When you feel you can move the omelette fold it once and take it out of the pan. It can be slightly runny when you fold it – it will finish cooking itself on the inside.
- Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the second omelette.
- Cut in half, sprinkle with the sesame seeds and enjoy!1 tsp sesame seeds
NOTES
Remember, the inside of the omelette can be slightly ‘runny’ as you fold it. The egg will finish cooking by itself – this is important for a light, delicate omelette.
