~ Ingredients: ~ 300gr of fresh spinach leaves ~ 2 tbsp of butter ~ 5 eggs ~ 8 cherry tomatoes cut in quartered ~ 100gr of Feta Cheese crumbled ~ Pepper to taste

 

~ Wash the spinach well under plenty of running water and shake off most of the water. ~ Place the spinach in a saucepan with only the water which remains clinging to the leaves. ~ Cover the pan and cook over a medium-high heat for 5 minutes, shaking the pan from time to time. ~ Remove from the pan into a strainer and squeeze out as much water as possible. ~ Chop into smaller pieces and set aside. ~ Melt the butter in a large frying pan over high heat. ~ Beat the eggs well in a small bowl and pour them into the pan with the hot butter and cook for 1 minute. ~ Move the eggs around with a fork so that the uncooked runny parts reach the bottom of the pan, lifting the set parts if necessary. ~ Reduce the heat to medium then sprinkle the spinach, tomatoes, and feta cheese over the eggs. ~ Season to taste with plenty of black pepper and continue to cook until the omelette has set, and the cheese has melted. ~ Fold the omelette in half and slide onto a plate. ~ Serve immediately and it can be accompanied with fried bacon or sausages, sliced tomatoes or anything else you wish. ~ Good luck and enjoy.
