Treat your ingredients with care...
- Spinach — Make sure to thoroughly wash the spinach leaves before chopping them. Remove any tough stems to ensure a tender texture in the Fourtalia.
- Feta cheese — Use high-quality feta cheese for the best flavor. If desired, you can crumble the feta cheese yourself instead of buying pre-crumbled cheese for a fresher taste.
Tips & Tricks
- For a more substantial meal, you can add cooked diced potatoes or sautéed onions to the Fourtalia mixture.
- Experiment with different herbs such as mint or parsley to customize the flavor profile to your liking.
- Serve the Fourtalia with a dollop of Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of fresh herbs for an extra touch of authenticity.
- If you prefer a softer texture, cover the skillet with a lid while cooking the Fourtalia to trap steam and create a fluffier result.
- Leftover Fourtalia can be refrigerated and enjoyed cold or reheated the next day.
Serving advice
Serve the Greek-inspired Fourtalia warm as a main dish for breakfast or brunch. Accompany it with a side of fresh Greek salad and crusty bread for a complete Mediterranean meal.
