Choosing Your Pan

I recommend using a 9-inch nonstick pan for cooking this omelet. Using nonstick will ensure that the omelet will lift from the pan without any sticking.

Even with using a nonstick pan, make sure you grease the pan well with butter before cooking omelet.

Tips for Perfect Omelets

1. Sauté asparagus – the asparagus will not cook fully in the omelet so we like to saute it before adding to omelet.
2. Prep everything before cooking – omelets are very time-sensitive once you start cooking them so make sure you have your pan ready, eggs beaten, and all the ingredients assembled before you start cooking.
3. Cook omelet over medium heat – don’t be tempted to bump up the heat otherwise you’ll burn the eggs.
4. Tilt pan and use a spatula – to cook the omelet, we do a combination of using a spatula to lift up the set edges and tilting the pan to let the uncooked egg flow underneath.
5. Do not let omelet brown – properly cooked omelets do not have any browning on them. This will make for fluffy eggs.
6. Top omelet with additional ingredients – if you have any filling ingredients leftover feel free to throw them on top of omelets as a garnish.

Recipe Variations

Try these ideas for a different twist on these omelets.

• Add more vegetables – try adding sautéed spinach, mushrooms, artichoke hearts, avocado, or zucchini.
• Try a different cheese – try cheddar, mozzarella, Parmesan, or goat cheese in place of the feta.
• Add meat – try adding smoked salmon, bacon, or cooked chicken.

Trust me, this omelet is how you are going to want to start every morning! The freshness from all the Greek ingredients and all that tender asparagus is a dream with the fluffy eggs.

Pro tip: always throw extra feta on your omelet. Always.
