Wonderful Omelet but I apologize I cooked it a bit differently - I had some left over cooked spinach so I put it on the pan first with chopped tomato poured in the egg mixture covered it and in 5 minutes it was ready and delicious! I always put cottage cheese in with the eggs when I make an omelet it gives them a lovely texture. Definatedly a do again recipe - Next time I will use fresh spinach & follow the recipe. Made again 26 Sept 01 This time I added the spinach inside the omelet with the cheese and served it with some salsa on top Enjoyed again.
