If you are looking for a way to diversify your morning meals, this fluffy baked spinach omelet will become your absolute favorite. The airy texture of this dish is achieved thanks to the perfect balance: we mix large selected eggs with natural thick Greek yogurt, which gives the mass an incredible creaminess and a light silky tang.

Greek yogurt not only makes the structure more stable and fluffy than regular milk, but also enriches the dish with additional protein, making this baked spinach omelet an excellent choice for those who watch their nutrition.

Ingredients

5 pcs Chicken eggs
150 g Greek yogurt (about 5 tbsp)
60 g Hard cheese (handful grated)
50 g Spinach (2 large handfuls)
0.5 pcs Onion (half a medium onion)
1 tbsp Olive oil
0.75 tsp Salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Finely chop the onion and grate the hard cheese, then wash and dry the spinach.
2
Heat the olive oil in a skillet. Sauté the onion until soft (about 3-4 minutes). Add the spinach and cook for another 1-2 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat.
3
In a deep bowl, whisk the chicken eggs with the Greek yogurt, then add salt and black pepper. No need to whip into a stiff foam; just mix until smooth.
4
Lightly grease a baking dish. Spread the sautéed onion and spinach on the bottom. Pour the egg-yogurt mixture over the vegetables.
5
Place the dish in the oven for 20 minutes. The omelet should set and rise slightly.
6
Remove the dish, sprinkle the omelet evenly with grated hard cheese, and return to the oven for another 5-7 minutes until the cheese is completely melted and the center is firm. Serve hot!

Chef's Tips

•For a more savory flavor, you can add smoked paprika, dried garlic, oregano, or a pinch of nutmeg to the egg mixture.
•Greek yogurt makes the baked omelet denser and more filling, so don't be alarmed if the mixture seems thick before baking.
•If you have bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, or mushrooms, they can also be sautéed with the onions and added to the filling.
