How to prepare Greek Omelette

To prepare the Greek omelette, crack the eggs into a bowl and add a pinch of salt 1, beat them for a few minutes with a fork 2 and set aside while you prepare the rest of the ingredients. Slice the black olives into rings 3

and cut the cherry tomatoes into small pieces 4, then cut the feta into cubes (5-6).

Take the egg mixture and add the grated Grana Padano DOP 7, the black olives 8, the cherry tomatoes 9,

the feta 10 and the mint torn with your hands 11, then mix well with a fork 12 and let the mixture rest for about ten minutes.

Now heat the oil in a non-stick pan with a diameter of 8-9 inches 13, pour in the egg mixture 14, cover with a lid 15, and cook over low heat for 15 minutes.

After this time, flip the omelette with the help of a flat plate 16, slide it back into the pan 17 and continue cooking for about 5 minutes, always with the lid on. When the other side is cooked, your Greek omelette is ready to be served 18!
