The key to a great Greek omelet is using fresh ingredients. Asparagus adds a subtle crunch, fiber, and essential vitamins, while feta cheese provides a creamy, tangy contrast. To enhance the flavor, a touch of dried oregano and fresh parsley bring out the dish’s Mediterranean essence. Olive oil adds a healthy fat component, making the omelet more satisfying and nutritious.
To prepare this omelet, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Sauté the asparagus in olive oil until tender, then pour in the egg mixture. Let it cook undisturbed for a few minutes before adding crumbled feta cheese and oregano. Cover and cook until the eggs are fully set. The result is a light, fluffy omelet with a perfect balance of flavors.
This recipe is highly customizable. You can add ingredients like spinach, cherry tomatoes, onions, or olives for extra flavor and texture. If you prefer a creamier texture, substitute feta with goat cheese. Serve this omelet with a slice of whole-grain toast or a simple side salad for a complete and well-balanced meal.
