Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup halved grape tomatoes
1 teaspoon dried oregano, divided
½ teaspoon salt, divided
Black pepper, to taste
½ cup crumbled feta cheese (can use reduced-fat)
8 large eggs
1 (10 ounce) package chopped frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Heat a 12-inch non-stick skillet over low heat. (Use a 10-inch skillet if you halve the recipe to serve 2 instead of 4.) Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix tomatoes, 1/2 tsp. oregano, 1/4 tsp. salt, and pepper to taste. Stir in feta.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk eggs together, then stir in spinach, 1/2 tsp. oregano, 1/4 tsp. salt, and pepper to taste. A few minutes before cooking omelet, add oil to the pan, and increase heat to medium-high. Heat until wisps of smoke start to rise from the pan. Add the egg mixture to the skillet. Using a plastic or wooden spatula to push back the eggs that have set, tilt the pan and let the uncooked egg mixture run onto the empty portion of the pan. Continue pushing back cooked eggs, tilting the pan and letting uncooked egg mixture flow onto the empty portion of the pan until omelet is moist but fully cooked, about 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low; pour the tomato mixture over half of the omelet. Using a slotted, flat spatula or turner, carefully fold the untopped half over the filling. Use the turner to slide the omelet onto a cutting board. Let stand a minute or two for the filling to warm.
  • Cut the omelet into 4 wedges and serve immediately.

GRILLED GREEK CHICKEN BREASTS WITH WHIPPED FETA



Grilled Greek Chicken Breasts with Whipped Feta image

I'm showing you my favorite marinade and grilling technique for boneless, skinless chicken breasts, which can be a challenge, since they're often so dry and bland, but not with this method. Plus, I'm showing you how to make my new favorite thing to eat, which is whipped feta. Serve with grilled red onion and red bell pepper if you like, and garnish with Greek olives.

Time 2h35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 (8 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
¼ cup red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried rosemary
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ cup olive oil
1 drizzle olive oil, or as needed
2 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
8 ounces feta cheese
1 teaspoon finely crushed garlic, or to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
1 teaspoon lemon zest

Steps:

  • Cut chicken breasts in half lengthwise.
  • Combine red wine vinegar, kosher salt, black pepper, cayenne, thyme, oregano, rosemary, and garlic powder in a bowl. Add chicken and toss until thoroughly and evenly coated. Pour in ¼ cup olive oil and toss to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 12 hours, but 2 to 3 hours is ideal.
  • Place Greek yogurt in another bowl and crumble in feta cheese. Add garlic, mint, and lemon zest and whip with an electric hand mixer or whisk until light and fluffy. Taste and adjust as needed. Refrigerate until needed.
  • Preheat a charcoal grill until coals are white and very hot.
  • Grill chicken over the hot coals for about 4 minutes per side; continue to flip and grill chicken until no longer pink in the center and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of each piece reads at least 150 degrees F (65 degrees C). Remove from the grill and let rest for about 5 minutes.
  • Spread whipped feta onto a serving platter or plate and place chicken over top. Sprinkle with fresh Italian parsley and mint and serve.

GREEK OMELET FOR 1



Greek Omelet for 1 image

During a recent vacation, I had this for brunch one day and fell in love with the flavors. If you're not dieting, feel free to go for the gusto with fully loaded ingredients. I've estimated vegetable amounts as I use whatever looks right. While I use the omelet grate on my fancy-dancy George Foreman grill to make these, I've given directions for traditional omelet making.
