Ingredients

  • eggs4 pcs
  • feta100 g
  • bell pepper1 pcs
  • parsley15 g
  • butter20 g
  • salt1 to taste
  • ground black pepper1 to taste

Instructions

1

Wash the bell pepper, remove the seeds and cut into small cubes; finely chop the parsley, and crumble the feta.

2

Beat the eggs with a fork until smooth, adding salt and black pepper; do not whisk to a foam.

3

Melt the butter in a nonstick skillet, 22–24 cm in diameter, over medium heat.

4

Add the pepper and cook for 2–3 minutes, until slightly softened but still a bit crisp.

5

Pour in the eggs, reduce the heat to low and cook for 2–3 minutes, gently pushing the edges toward the center with a spatula, until the bottom sets and the top stays slightly moist.

6

Scatter the feta and parsley over one half of the omelet, fold it in half and cook for another 1 minute over low heat, just until the cheese warms through without drying out the eggs.

7

Transfer the omelet to plates and serve hot.
