A flavorful Greek omelette packed with sun-dried tomatoes, black olives, green onions, and feta cheese, perfect for a quick, savory breakfast or brunch option.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Beat eggs until fluffy.
- Pour into a heated nonstick skillet and cook over medium heat.
- Flip the omelette once.
- Add chopped dried tomatoes, dried black olives, green onions, and crumbled Feta cheese on top.
- Serve with warm pita bread.
Tips & Substitutions
For a fluffier omelette, whisk the eggs until well combined and slightly frothy. If you don't have sundried tomatoes, you can substitute fresh tomatoes or roasted red peppers. Consider adding spinach or bell peppers for extra nutrition. If you prefer a stronger flavor, try using goat cheese instead of Feta. This Greek omelette can also be enhanced with herbs like oregano or dill, common in Mediterranean recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Greek omelette with warm pita bread for a complete meal, and consider adding a side of fresh Greek salad for a refreshing contrast. This dish pairs beautifully with Ham And Cheese Stuffed Eggplant or a light yogurt dip. You can also top the omelette with extra Feta and fresh herbs for added flavor. Enjoy with a glass of fresh orange juice for a delightful brunch.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover omelette in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place it in a skillet over low heat until warmed through, or microwave it for 30-60 seconds. Avoid reheating too long to prevent the eggs from becoming rubbery. This dish is best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be convenient for breakfast or lunch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this omelette ahead of time?
While it's best to enjoy the omelette fresh, you can prepare the filling ingredients in advance and store them in the refrigerator. When ready to cook, simply beat the eggs and add the prepped ingredients to save time. However, the texture will be best if cooked right before serving.
What can I substitute for Feta cheese?
If you're not a fan of Feta, you can use crumbled goat cheese for a similar tangy flavor, or try shredded mozzarella for a milder taste. For a dairy-free option, consider using nutritional yeast to add a cheesy flavor without the dairy.
Is this recipe suitable for meal prep?
Yes, this Greek omelette can be part of a meal prep routine. Prepare the filling ingredients and store them separately. In the morning, just beat the eggs and cook them quickly. You can also make mini omelettes in muffin tins for easy grab-and-go meals throughout the week.
