MY BIG FAT GREEK OMELET

Steps:

• Heat a 12-inch non-stick skillet over low heat. (Use a 10-inch skillet if you halve the recipe to serve 2 instead of 4.) Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix tomatoes, 1/2 tsp. oregano, 1/4 tsp. salt, and pepper to taste. Stir in feta.
• In a medium bowl, whisk eggs together, then stir in spinach, 1/2 tsp. oregano, 1/4 tsp. salt, and pepper to taste. A few minutes before cooking omelet, add oil to the pan, and increase heat to medium-high. Heat until wisps of smoke start to rise from the pan. Add the egg mixture to the skillet. Using a plastic or wooden spatula to push back the eggs that have set, tilt the pan and let the uncooked egg mixture run onto the empty portion of the pan. Continue pushing back cooked eggs, tilting the pan and letting uncooked egg mixture flow onto the empty portion of the pan until omelet is moist but fully cooked, about 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low; pour the tomato mixture over half of the omelet. Using a slotted, flat spatula or turner, carefully fold the untopped half over the filling. Use the turner to slide the omelet onto a cutting board. Let stand a minute or two for the filling to warm.
• Cut the omelet into 4 wedges and serve immediately.

• Add the onion, garlic, salt and pepper; cook until the softens and the potatoes are done. Add the spinach and the capers or olives. When the spinach is cooked, remove the pan from the heat.
• Heat a cast-iron frying pan that is well-seasoned enough to handle a large omelet, or use a non-stick skillet. Add the oil to the pre-heated pan and swirl it around the pan. Immediately add the beaten egg mixture and move it around the pan until the egg coats the entire bottom. Tip the pan to distribute the liquid egg that still may be in the center of the pan. Place the vegetables that you are using on top of the egg mixture. Add the crumbled feta cheese.
• *Place under a medium or high broiler and broil until the cheese is meltedand the eggs are set. Watch carefully, since this step takes only a few minutes. Remove from the broiler and sprinkle with the chopped dill, if using. Serve immediately.
• Note: Feta making a folded omelet, place the vegetables and the feta on one side only of the egg mixture. Then place under the broiler to melt the cheese. Then remove from under the broiler and then just fold the remaining half over the vegetable/cheese side. Then just skide it out of the pan and onto a pre-heated(optional) plate or platter.
