Chef's Note
For the best flavor, use authentic Greek feta cheese made from sheep's milk. The lemon zest adds a bright note that complements the spinach and feta beautifully. If you have time the night before, you can pre-chop the bell pepper and store it in the refrigerator to save time in the morning.

Ingredients
1 piece large flour tortilla
1 cup fresh spinach
1/4 cup feta cheese
2 large eggs
1/4 cup red bell pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
- 1
Finely dice 1/4 cup of red bell pepper and set aside.
- 2
Crack 2 large eggs into a bowl, add 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and whisk until well combined.
- 3
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1/2 tablespoon of butter.
- 4
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook for 2 minutes, gently pushing the eggs from the edges toward the center as they set.
- 5
When eggs are almost set but still slightly wet, add 1 cup of fresh spinach and cook for another minute until the spinach wilts. Remove from heat and transfer to a plate.
- 6
Wipe the skillet clean and return to medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
- 7
Place the flour tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle half of the feta cheese (about 2 tablespoons) evenly over one half of the tortilla.
- 8
Add the egg and spinach mixture on top of the feta, then sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest, and the diced red bell pepper.
- 9
Top with the remaining feta cheese and fold the empty half of the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.
- 10
Cook for 2 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy, using the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of butter to flip and cook the second side.
- 11
Remove from heat, let rest for 1 minute, then slice into triangles and serve immediately.
