Adding water or milk to the eggs is unnecessary for making an omelet. If whisked and cooked properly, your omelet will be light and fluffy without any additions.

Instructions

Crack the egg and egg white into a small bowl. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Beat until well combined and frothy using a fork or whisk.
Heat the oil in an 8″ nonstick skillet over low heat. Add the egg mixture to the skillet, and give the pan a gentle shake to ensure the eggs are evenly spread out.
Cook undisturbed for about 1 minute, or until it begins to set. Using a nylon or silicone spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelet, tilting the pan to allow the uncooked eggs to run underneath. Cook for another minute or so, until the top is mostly set.
Add the spinach and feta to half of the omelet. Using your spatula, fold the empty half on top.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
