I could eat my 4-ingredient Feta and Potato Omelets every single day. It is absolutely one of my favorite breakfast recipes because nothing beats the combination of potatoes and feta for me. It’s so incredibly simple to put together and a great way to switch up your 🥚omelets routine. I like to boil the potato the night before so it’s ready for the 🌅 morning. Literally, minutes to make and just a few seconds to devour!
Why You’ll Love Feta and Potato Omelet
If you’re in an omelet rut, my Feta and Potato Omelet is the perfect way to switch it up! The 🥚 egg is fluffy and light and the potato/feta combo is creamy and smooth with a nice salty flavor. If you have the potatoes boiled from the night before, making this in the morning becomes even simpler!
How to Prepare Feta and Potato Omelet
🔪 Using a sharp knife, peel the potato and cut it in half. Then cut those halves into thin wedges.
🧂 Now, place the potatoes in a pot of salted water. Boil them for about 5 minutes from the boiling point until fork tender. 🥚
💦 When cooked, drain the potatoes and let them cool a bit.
🫒 Next, in a pan on medium-low heat, add a touch of olive oil or butter.
🥚 Whisk two eggs in a bowl with a fork for about a minute.
🌀Pour the eggs into the pan and then swirl the pan so the eggs coat the bottom evenly.
⏲️ Cook the eggs for abo ut 30 seconds to a minute.
🥔 Now arrange 3 or 4 slices of potato and 3 slices of feta cheese on half of the egg.
👩🍳 Once the sides begin to fully lift off the pan and the egg is almost cooked, you can flip it over onto one side with a spatula. Let it cook for another minute and enjoy!
Nonna’s Tip 🥚
Whisk the eggs for at least 30 seconds with a fork before adding them to the hot pan. I cook the egg on medium-low heat for only a minute or so on each side so they don’t get dark and stay light and fluffy.
Variations and Substitutions for Feta and Potato Omelet
- I like using olive oil or 🧈 butter but feel free to use anything you like to cook the egg.
- Experiment with different 🧀 cheese options in this Feta and Potato Omelet, such as goat cheese or your favorite non-dairy alternative. You can also use grated cheese like Manchego or any that you prefer.
- Feel free to add an extra pinch of 🧂 salt to the eggs. I found that I personally didn’t need it as the potatoes and feta were salty enough.
- I think adding in some fresh 🥬 spinach or chopped chives on top of the potato while cooking the egg would be really delicious.
