When we went to Spain a few years ago for the first time, I was not fortunate enough to eat a Spanish Omelette! But yesterday at lunch time I may have captured a little of the Mediterranean speciality!
I was hungry as always and saw only eggs, feta cheese, milk and butter in the fridge. The red smoky paprika that I bought at the weekend was too hot and fiery not to use in this dish. I mixed things up and within 10 minutes I had myself a Spanish/Greek omelette! All soft, fluffy with the saltiness of feta and the smoky barbecuey hint of paprika!
Yummmmmy! Will definitely be making this omelette combination again!
INGREDIENTS
1 large free range egg
a little feta cubed small
splash of milk
¼ tsp smoked paprika
Pinch of dried chilli flakes
little knob of butter
1 tsp olive oil
METHOD
• In a small frying pan on a low heat add the butter and olive oil
• Beat the egg with the milk, season with the paprika and salt. Mix in the feta
• Place the egg mixture into the frying pan and sprinkle with the chilli flakes
Keep on a low to medium heat and after 2-3 minutes cover the pan with a lid or plate to set the egg as it cooks in its own steam (low heat)
• After 5 minutes or so check the omelette and if it has set well, transfer onto a plate and serve with some buttered crusty bread

Simple and delicious! I do a similar Greek omelette with potatoes and feta but with oregano and chilli, but not paprika – although, smoked paprika is really a spectacular spice. I must try your version! Thanks for posting!
Thank you! I must try your version too! Sounds wonderful! Your right smoked paprika is really special! 🙂
What a great sounding omelette; my husband cuts feta like that but I prefer it crumbled with my fingers.
Thank you Eva! Crumbled feta sounds good! 🙂
That looks so good – the photos are brilliant! 😀
Thank you lovely x
Sounds wonderfully delicious! I love smoked paprika (just put some in a pate I made for later), and it would certainly be a grand addition to the combination of eggs and feta!
Thank you Kathryn! Ummm it will be lovely in a pate. I’ll have to come up with a veggie pate recipe soon! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Lovely Mediterranean flavors – and fantastic use of your feta, Dimple. Have a fabulous weekend! – Best, Shanna
Thank you very much Shanna! Hope you have an amazing weekend also!
Thank you, Dimple. 🙂 Take good care. – Shanna
Looks delicious!
Thank you! 🙂
Yum! I love omelettes! Great idea adding the cubes of feta 😀
Thanks Honey x
That looks so good!
Sometimes something as simple as an omelet can be very satisfying — as I’m sure this one was. It looks delicious, Dimple.
Thank you John! Your very right! Sometimes an omelette is only the way to go!
I love smoked paprika and using it alot, as we been living in Spain for a while. Try it with fried potatoes, my favorite. And there is several levels of hotness when u buy it. 🙂
Oh yes that sounds wonderful! I definitely want to buy different levels of authentic paprika! Fried potatoes sound goooood! 🙂
