This amazingly tasty and healthy Greek Feta Cheese Omelette is the perfect start to the day for a filling breakfast, or makes the great lunch or light dinner. Omelette is very versatile and can be eaten any time of the day in my opinion! It’s very simple to make with just a 5 minute prep time and a total cooking time of less than 15 minutes and is suitable for vegetarians, gluten free and Slimming World friendly. I designed this omelette based around my husband and son’s two favourite things – cheese and olives, but I don’t personally like the taste of olives, and I know that I’m not alone. I think they’re often either a love it or hate it kinda thing. When you make this omelette with Feta cheese and olives it has a very Mediterranean and Greek feel to it, but I also make it without olives when I’m the only person eating it which is why I’ve left them optional in the recipe. You can serve with olives on the side for the olive lovers and this has been very popular in my family.
Cheddar cheese can be quite a sharp flavour and is also very dense and calorie heavy. Feta has a delicate yet distinctive Mediterranean flavour whilst still being healthy. They say the Mediterranean diet is one of the healthiest! This Greek Feta omelette might be one of the best omelettes I’ve ever tasted and the whole family loves it, from the toddler up to the grandparents. It comes up so light and fluffy but is still really simple to make.

Storage and Heating Instructions
According to the FDA at time of publication, cooked eggs and egg dishes may be refrigerated for serving later but must be thoroughly reheated to 165F (73c) before serving. This recipe makes 4 portions which means my family usually has leftovers, I have refrigerated this and then eaten it the next day after microwaving for 3 minutes. It is very easy to modify this recipe to serve the exact amount if you don’t want leftovers.
Heat your frying pan on the hob to high with the oil or low calorie spray and fry the red onion until browning, approximately 2-3 minutes. Whilst this is frying, whisk your eggs in a large bowl with the paprika, salt and pepper to taste. Add the sliced tomatoes to the onions in the pan and (optional) add sliced olives, black or green to taste. Fry for a further 1-2 minutes until tomatoes and olives are beginning to soften. Turn your heat down to medium and add the whisked egg, cook until eggs are beginning to firm but not fully cooked, usually around 3-4 minutes. The top of the omelette will still be runny but the edges and bottom will have firmed up. Add your crumbled feta evenly to the top of the mix. Place under the grill on high for 5-6 minutes, which will give you a fluffy, evenly cooked omelette. Cut into quarters in the pan and serve with a side of salad, tomatoes or red peppers if desired. Also pairs well with fresh rolls and butter.Tasty and Healthy Greek Feta Omelette
