Spinach, Feta & Avocado Omelet

Name: Spinach, Feta & Avocado Omelet
Total time: 15 min
Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients: 6 large eggs; 100 g baby spinach; 60 g feta, crumbled; 1 ripe avocado, sliced; 1 tbsp olive oil; ¼ tsp salt; a pinch of black pepper

Eggs for choline and B12, spinach for folate, avocado for healthy fats - a preconception trifecta in one pan.

A weekday-fast omelet that treats breakfast as the easiest meal to upgrade while you are trying. Wilted greens and salty feta fold into soft eggs, and the real point is repeatability: a plate you can make on autopilot often enough for the habit to count.

Method

Wilt. Wilt the spinach in half the oil over medium heat; set aside.
Cook. Whisk eggs with salt and pepper; cook in the remaining oil over medium-low, pulling edges inward until just set.
Fill. Scatter spinach and feta over one half, fold, and serve with avocado.

Worth knowingTwo whole eggs per person is intentional - the yolk is where the choline lives, and choline is critical for early brain development.

Is this safe when trying to conceive?

Yes - while you are trying to conceive there are no pregnancy-style food rules in play yet, so the feta and the just-set eggs need no special handling. One folate point worth making: spinach counts toward it, but food folate supports rather than replaces the 400 ug daily folic acid supplement advised from before conception through early pregnancy. And this is a plate for both partners, not just hers.

Substitutions & allergens

Leave out the feta - removes dairy; season the eggs a touch more generously to compensate.
Chard or kale, wilted the same way, stands in for spinach and keeps the folate story.
No avocado? Sliced tomato on the side does the fresh, cool counterpoint job.
The eggs are the dish; there is no egg-free omelet worth pretending about, so pick another breakfast on egg-free days.

Storage & reheating

An omelet is a cook-and-eat dish: it turns rubbery in the fridge and does not freeze. If half genuinely goes spare, refrigerate it within 1-2 hours, eat it within 48 hours and reheat it only once, steaming hot, per FSA chilling guidance - but the better plan is simply to whisk fewer eggs next time. Slice the avocado only at serving.
