Ingredients

¼ cup cooked spinach
4 large eggs
½ cup crumbled feta cheese (2 ounces)
2 scallions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

Step 2
Set a rack about 4 inches from the heat source; preheat the broiler.
Step 3
Heat oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and tilt to distribute evenly. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the bottom is light golden, lifting the edges to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath, 3 to 4 minutes. Place the pan under the broiler and cook until the top is set, 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Slide the omelet onto a platter and cut into wedges.

I sauteed some onions and mushrooms and added them to the mixture as well as some herbs. With a piece of whole grain toast - fabulous!

So good!This was really more of a frittata than an omelet but who cares it was delicious. I didn't not use the dill because I am not a big fan of it's flavor. I made this for myself and my boyfriend and was surprised by how large the portion was. It was very filling. I served this with crispy sauted red potatoes. I will certainly be making this again.
