Instructions
In a non-stick skillet or frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over a low heat. Add the spinach and cook, turning the spinach after 1-2 minutes, or until the leaves soften. Remove from heat and place in a bowl.
Whisk or beat the eggs in a bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Increase heat to medium. Wipe the skillet or frying pan clean and add the remaining olive oil. Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Reduce heat to low and cook until the bottom is set, about 10 seconds.
Using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, pull the set eggs at the edges of the pan toward the centre, allowing the unset eggs to run from the centre to the sides. Continue to cook until a thin layer of unset egg is visible on top. The total cooking time should be less than 2 minutes. Spoon the spinach mixture around the egg mixture and scatter the feta and dill on top. Using a spatula, fold one-third of the omelette, nearest to the handle, over the centre with the filling. Holding the handle, tilt the pan so that the omelette rolls out of it and onto a plate, seam-side down.
Place the yoghurt in the centre and serve hot with crusty bread.
