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.
