Spinach-and-Feta Omelet
Ingredients
- 4 cups chopped fresh spinach
- 6 large eggs*
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese* (2 ounces)
Directions
1. In a covered medium saucepan cook spinach in a small amount of boiling, salted water for 3 to 4 minutes or until tender. (Or place spinach in a microwave-safe casserole with 1 teaspoon water. Cover and microwave on 100 percent power [high] for 1 to 2 minutes or until tender, stirring once.) Drain spinach thoroughly.
2. In a medium bowl beat eggs well. Add drained spinach; continue beating until thoroughly mixed.
3. Heat half of the butter in a 7- or 8- inch omelet pan or skillet with flared sides over medium-high heat until a drop of water sizzles. Pour half of the egg mixture into pan. As eggs set, run a spatula around the edge of the skillet, lifting eggs and letting uncooked portion flow underneath. Cook until top of omelet is set, but still shiny. Turn omelet; sprinkle with half of the cheese. Cook 2 minutes.
4. Transfer omelet to a warm serving plate; roll up the omelet. Cover and keep the omelet warm in a 300 degree F oven while you're repeating step 3 to make a second omelet. Makes 2 servings.
