EGYPTIAN FETA CHEESE OMELET ROLL

Sounds exotic, but only has 3-4 ingredients and takes under 10 minutes.
4 eggs, beaten 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 3 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese 1 teaspoon milk (optional)
In a small bowl, beat eggs and pepper together. In another small bowl, combine crumbled cheese with milk (I did not use the milk in my version, just used the feta cheese).
(Sorry, the picture for this did not turn out).
Thourougly coat a large frying pan with non-stick coating, including the sides to ensure that you will be able to easily flip the sides when the time comes. Heat on medium high
Pour egg mixture into pan and tilt to ensure entire pan is covered with egg mixture.
Cook until it starts to get crispy on the sides and mostly done, then add feta cheese (or feta cheese mixture) to the center of the eggs.
Flip the left side over towards the center.
Flip the right half over the center
Cut in half lengthwise and serve.

BABY SPINACH OMELETTE


Great way to sneak something healthy into a breakfast! I really didn't taste the spinach nor did it have an overly crunchy texture - just a bit wee bit of spicy cheese flavor and brings a lively blend of yellow and green to the breakfast table.
It is based on the following recipe: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Baby-Spinach-Omelet/Detail.aspx This is for 1-2 servings
  • 4 medium eggs
  • 1 cup torn baby spinach leaves
  • 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Non-stick cooking spray
  • Fork
  • Frying pan
  • Spatula
Beat the eggs in a bowl with a fork.

Add in the torn baby spinach leaves, parmesan cheese, onion powder, nutmeg, salt and pepper.
Mix together until well blended. Spray the frying pan generously with the non-stick cooking spray, then pour mixture into the frying pan and cook on medium heat for 3 minutes.

Use the spatula to flip the omelet over and cook the other side 2-3 minutes (mine was done at this point). If it is still too runny for you, reduce heat to low and continue cooking 2-3 minutes, or until it is done to what you like.
