    This Veggie Omelette recipe is a handy one to have up your sleeve when it comes time to clear out the veggie crisper and get rid of all those lovely leafy greens. Super versatile, this delicious spinach omelette contains spinach, shredded cabbage and eggs, however chopped broccoli, kale, chard or any other leafy green would work perfectly here, giving you a fantastic healthy omelette for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

    Spinach and Feta Veggie Omelette

    There's nothing like a good old spinach omelette to start the day off on the right foot.

    Loaded with all good things green and leafy, this healthy omelet is always a hit with both adults and kids alike in this house (yes my kids will ask for it even though it is more green than egg in color...hopefully yours will too...I can't guarantee anything!)

    When you add all of the ingredients to a bowl it is not going to look like there is enough egg in the mixture. Don't worry, once it starts cooking it comes together just fine.

    How To Make a Veggie Omelette

    This particular veggie omelette is VERY heavy on the veggies.

    So much so, that when you mix it all together in a bowl you are going to be somewhat convinced that you have too many veggies and not enough egg.

    Don't worry, this is not the case.

    Once you start cooking, the egg fluffs up a bit, and there will be plenty of it to cook along with the veggies.

    Doing it this way ensures a nice light omelette with veggies that have had a chance to cook properly as well.

    To make the omelette you want to:

    • Mix together all of the ingredients, except for the feta, in a medium bowl,
    • Pour half of the mixture into the buttered pan and cook until the egg starts to crisp up a little on the sides, and has cooked through,
    • Sprinkle the feta onto one half of the omelette and use a spatula to gently fold the omelette onto itself
    • Allow to cook for one more minute before removing from the heat and repeating the process for the second omelette
    • Serve on a plate topped with some spring onions, chopped parsley and some optional additions: crunchy mix (sprouted mung beans, chickpeas etc), chilli flakes or chilli slices, salt and pepper.

    A vegetable omelette is best served right away whilst it is still piping hot, however, I have saved leftovers and reheated them in the microwave and they have still tasted delicious, the veggies just won't have that bit of crispness to them.

    Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.

    Good Veggies For A Healthy Omelette

    The best thing about omelettes is that they are so versatile.

    You can use so many different veggies in there depending on your preferences, and you can almost always be guaranteed it will turn out well.

    Some of my favourite veggies to use to make a delicious healthy omelette would be:

    • thinly sliced kale
    • finely chopped broccoli florets
    • sliced mushrooms
    • chopped tomatoes
    • spring onions
    • any herbs you need to use up. Parsley, coriander/cilantro, thyme, oregano and basil work particularly well, tarragon is also great
    • grated zucchini

    The sky is the limit, just be sure to cut the vegetables into evenly sized pieces to ensure proper cooking.

    Hello and welcome, I'm Donna!

    I am so glad you are here!

    Since I have a part-time job, 3 little kids, and a love of good food (as do you I assume), I have learned how to get the most out of the kitchen in the smallest amount of time.

    Forget about hunting down weird ingredients and making trips to specialty shops.

    We are going to make the most of what is available at the store and farmer's markets all whilst enjoying some delicious meals the whole family (hopefully...if you have fussy eaters I guarantee nothing) will enjoy.

    Pop on that apron and let's get creative in the kitchen!
