Green Hummus Omelet Recipe with Tomatoes and Feta
I started blending spinach into eggs when I first made spinach egg wraps. Those wraps are so delicious and the easiest way to get more greens without really noticing it.
I figured if the wraps worked, an omelet would work too! And it sure did. These green omelets are similar to the wraps, only cooked a little differently.
They’re thicker and filled with lots of great fillings. The hummus-tomato-feta combo gives me Mediterranean vibes, which I always love!
You could fill your omelet with whatever you’d like, or use fun hummus flavors like roasted red pepper hummus, or spinach artichoke hummus.
Experiment and have fun with this recipe!
Why you’ll love this green eggs omelet recipe
Protein-packed – Each omelet gives you 22 grams of protein, making it a great way to start the day! If you’re looking for even more protein, feel free to add some crumbled cooked turkey bacon or chopped turkey deli meat to your omelet.
Green without food coloring—There is no need to add green food coloring to your eggs; spinach will naturally make them super green! You’ll love this fun and colorful recipe for St. Patrick’s Day or Dr. Seuss’s birthday!
Great breakfast-for-dinner option – We love breakfast for dinner in our household and this recipe is perfect for that! You can pair it with flat bread or pita chips and roasted red pepper dip or something sweeter like honey whole wheat biscuits. No matter what, dinner will be a hit!

How to make a green omelette
Step 1: Add the eggs, spinach, sea salt, and pepper to a small blender and blend for 10 seconds, or just until the spinach is mixed in.
Step 2: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the oil, spreading it around the pan. Pour in the green egg mixture. For this omelet I like to start by scrambling it a little, then pull the edges towards the center of the omelet and let the uncooked eggs move to the outside. After that, cover with a lid for 1-2 minutes to let the top finish cooking. No flipping is needed.
Step 3: Add hummus, feta, and chopped tomatoes, and enjoy!

Can you make this with egg whites?
For extra protein, swap 1-2 of the whole eggs with liquid egg whites. The omelet will cook slightly differently, so be sure to oil the pan well so that it doesn’t stick.
If you love high protein breakfast ideas you’ll be hooked on this one!
How to store
Leftover omelets should be cooled to room temperature and then added to an airtight container.
I like to reheat my omelet in a warm oven until heated through. You can also warm it in a microwave.
Substitutions, optional variations & dietary adjustments
Below you’ll find a list of substitutions that will work well in this healthy green egg omelette recipe.
If you try something different out, please leave a comment below letting us all know how it turned out!
Whole eggs – While whole eggs work best, you can swap 1-2 eggs for egg whites. You could use an egg liquid in place of whole eggs as well.
Spinach – Kale, collard greens, or Swiss chard best wonderfully into the eggs for a green omelet.
Extra virgin olive oil – Feel free to use avocado oil or coconut oil as your cooking oil.
Hummus – A fun way to change up the flavor is to use different types of hummus – add extra green with a zucchini hummus or spinach artichoke hummus. Make it spicy with jalapeno hummus, or mix up what you’re using and add your favorite sauce like tzatziki or pesto.
Feta cheese – Other cheeses like cheddar cheese, jack cheese, or mozzarella cheese would taste delicious in your omelet. To make this dairy-free, add a sprinkle of nutritional yeast instead.
Tomatoes – The vegetables that you add can totally be up to you! If you have pico de gallo on hand, add that. Diced red onion, bell peppers, green onions, cooked sweet potato, or roasted red peppers? All are great additions. Make your favorite omelets by using fillings that you love!
