Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- salt & pepper to taste
- ½ tsp butter
- 1 cup spinach or greens of choice
- 1 Tablespoon sun-dried tomatoes chopped or sliced
- 1 Tablespoon feta cheese
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whip the eggs until they are completely incorporated; season with a pinch of salt & pepper.
- Heat the butter over medium heat in an 8-inch nonstick skillet. Add the eggs and mix with a spatula until the eggs begin to curdle, then spread the egg mixture evenly all over the pan and reduce the heat to low. Cook without stirring until the omelet is mostly set.
- Add the spinach, sun-dried tomato, and feta to the omelette. Gently fold the omelette in half.
- Transfer to a plate and top with sriracha, if desired. Serve immediately with toasted whole-grain bread, if desired.

Notes
- Storing leftovers: High protein omelettes are best enjoyed just after they've been cooked. However, you can store leftovers in an airtight container for up to about 2 days. The texture won't be as good when reheated, but the best way to reheat is in the microwave at 80% power in 15-second intervals until warm.
