Pea, Feta and Mint Omelette…oh my


In the spirit of Melinda’s #ConfinedSpring challenge(sort of), and also using up some feta I had in the fridge that really needed using, last night’s dinner was Pea, Feta and Mint Omelette (and chips, just because…)

There are no quantities to this, as it’s whatever makes you feel good and you have available.
Put peas in a bowl (I used frozen, but fresh would be awesome when we get there). Add some crumbled feta on top and I used some dried mint because that’s what I had, but if you have fresh mint that would be terrific.

(As a random aside, I remember making lamb and feta meatballs once that needed mint. For some reason known only to himself, my other half had dug up all my fresh mint - he had some ridiculous excuse about it running rampant! I had no dried mint, so I raided my tea cupboard, cut open a peppermint teabag and mixed the leaves into the lamb. It worked a treat.)

Anyway, back to the omelette. I do four eggs for a two person omelette – add eggs to the pan, let them cook for a couple of minutes to brown the bottom, add the pea, feta and mint. Add more mint and some pepper if you feel inclined. Let it cook for a couple of minutes more and then I stick it in the oven because it’s on, to finish setting and get browned on top.

We ate three quarters of it (because I made too many chips...) and the last piece will get shredded to go into tonight’s stir-fry. :)

  1. Cackling at your peppermint teabag trick. Truly, you're well suited for cooking under pressure.
