It's so easy to enjoy a taste of Greece in your own home with this recipe suggestion. It's very quick and simple, and can be enjoyed anytime! Many may think this perfect for a mid-week meal, but it tastes great at the weekend too! I think you'll just love how the feta melts when put under the grill ... yum!
Ingredients
Serves Four
10 eggs
handful of parsley leaves, chopped (optional)
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 large red onion, cut into wedges
3 tomatoes, chopped into large chunks
large handful black olives, (pitted are easier to eat)
100g feta cheese, crumbled
salt and pepper
Method
1. Heat the grill to high. Whisk the eggs in a large bowl with the chopped parsley, pepper and salt. Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan, then fry the onion wedges over a high heat for about 4 mins until they start to brown around the edges. Throw in the tomatoes and olives and cook for 1-2 mins until the tomatoes begin to soften.
2. Turn the heat down to medium and pour in the eggs. Cook the eggs in the pan, stirring them as they begin to set, until half cooked, but still runny in places – about 2 mins. Scatter over the feta, then place the pan under the grill for 5-6 mins until omelette is puffed up and golden. Cut into wedges and serve straight from the pan.
Tips
Make it meaty, for a non-vegetarian version why not ripple over slices of ham or bacon before scattering over the feta, then grill until crispy.
Feta is a super popular cheese, but not everyone likes it, and although it is pretty easy to find, you may not have it on hand. There are some possible feta cheese substitutes here

Dear Jan, this looks so scrumptious! Thank you so much for sharing!
...Jan, this is something to try!
I love all things Greek. Looks fabulous.
Oh, and today is Thanksgiving here in Canada. :)
Oh my doesn't that look good!!!
Looks interesting, we like omlette occasionally in the summer.
Looks yummy. The vase and pumpkins at the bottom would be a lovely watercolor.
It looks heathy and tasty.
That looks delicious. I've never had a Greek style omelette like this, so thanks for the recipe. Happy new week to you.
Gracias por la receta, Te mando un beso.
This I could make - looks good.
💗💗💗
That looks fantastic!
It looks delicious, I would make it without olives!
This looks yummy and easy to do!
I was intrigued by the title. Looks delicious. I no longer have a grill but maybe it would still work popping it into a hot oven.
That does looks good.
Looks good :-D
Looks delicious! Take care, have a great day!
What a great idea! The possibilities are endless!
Hi Jan! ♥ Oooh I'm going to try this. Though I don't have Feta on hand, I do have some goat cheese...sounds so yummy!
That would make a most satisfying meal. Add salad or crusty bread to make it go even further..
That looks delicious, and would be very nice for our lunch today!

Hello and thank you for your comment.
This is a lovely omelette but I'm not sure (as you haven't a grill) this would work by putting it in the oven. I think the omelette could over-cook throughout - you just want/need an intense blast of heat towards the end of cooking to finish the very top.
However, there is a recipe for an oven baked omelette that you may be able to tweak a little to suit you? Find it here:-

This is really tasty - especially with the Feta.
God bless.
Oh that does look good and Greek omelette is my husband's favorite.
Yes, I would eat this. Maybe for dinner we eat light at breakfast. Have a great day.
This looks delicious
That looks delicious! And I enjoyed the autumn picture at the end. Happy Tuesday, Jan.
Quick and easy for the win!

I'd like that but I don't think my husband would.
