Greek Omelet for 1

"During a recent vacation, I had this for brunch one day and fell in love with the flavors. If you're not dieting, feel free to go for the gusto with fully loaded ingredients. I've estimated vegetable amounts as I use whatever looks right. While I use the omelet grate on my fancy-dancy George Foreman grill to make these, I've given directions for traditional omelet making."

  1. I loved how easy it was to make! I don't know how to cook very well and don't do it often, but this was delicious. I made two, for me and my friend. Her husband is Greek; therefore she eats a lot of Greek food, which is why I chose to make this. She said it tasted great!!!
     
  2. What a terrific recipe SusieQusie. I loved this greek omelet it was awesome, light, fluffy, great flavor and excellent texures. It was quick and easy to make with great results. Thanks so much for sharing, made for Name that Ingredient.
     
  3. This is a taste sensation. It is so yummy. I added the basil the last of my poor plant. I am glad i did the flavors just go so well with each other. Thanks SusieQusie. This is a keeper.
     
  4. I will be honest, nothing was measured except for the egg substitute and that was reduced to 1/2 cup. I made 2 of these for breakfast using a fresh garden tomato and adding some Greek oregano. I love the Mediterranean flavors.
     
  5. Best omelette i've made! Used real feta cheese made from sheep's milk and it came out so creamy and tasty!
