The Italian Omelet

This three-egg omelet is filled with chorizo sausage, spinach, mushrooms, tomato, and three cheeses--feta, cottage and cheddar.

Ingredients:

• 2 Tbsp crumbled chorizo sausage
• 1 cup of torn fresh spinach
• 1/2 cup of sliced fresh mushrooms
• 1 Tbsp dried onion flakes
• 1 Tbsp butter
• 3 eggs
• 1 Tbsp sliced small pear or Roma tomatoes
• 2 Tbsp crumbled feta cheese
• 1 Tbsp cottage cheese (drained)
• 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese in small cubes

Directions:

Cook chorizo and drain; stir in spinach and mushrooms; set pan aside. Melt butter in an omelet or flat saute pan. Sprinkle onion flakes into the pan. Beat eggs and add to pan at a medium-low setting. Sprinkle feta, cottage cheese and cheddar onto egg/onion mixture on half of the pan. Sprinkle your mushroom-spinach-chorizo mix on top of cheeses. Add sliced tomatoes across. Fold egg over mixture and cook on low heat until egg is done.

Number of Servings: 1 or 2

Notes from the Cook: Sliced mushrooms can be softened first in microwave before adding to omelet. Another type of sausage or bacon may be substituted for the Chorizo.
