OMELETS WITH ROASTED VEGETABLES AND FETA
If you have roasted vegetables on hand an omelet is a wonderful vehicle for them. Omelets are so quick to make, and so satisfying, whether you make them for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. You can cut up your roasted vegetables into slightly smaller pieces if you want a less chunky omelet.

Steps:
- Break eggs into a bowl and beat with a fork or a whisk until frothy. Whisk in salt and pepper to taste and 2 to 3 teaspoons milk.
- Heat an 8-inch nonstick omelet pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 teaspoons unsalted butter or olive oil. When butter stops foaming or oil feels hot when you hold your hand above it, pour eggs right into the middle of the pan, scraping every last bit into the pan with a rubber spatula. Swirl pan to distribute eggs evenly over the surface. Shake pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up edges of the omelet with the spatula in your other hand, to let eggs run underneath during first few minutes of cooking.
- As soon as eggs are set on the bottom, spoon roasted vegetables over the middle of the egg "pancake" and sprinkle feta over vegetables. Jerk pan quickly away from you then back towards you so that the omelet folds over onto itself. If you don't like your omelet runny in the middle, jerk pan again so that omelet folds over once more. Cook for 30 seconds to a minute longer. Tilt pan and roll omelet out onto a plate.

Sprinkle omelet with salt.

Tips:
- Use fresh basil: Fresh basil has a more intense flavor than dried basil. If you can, use fresh basil leaves for the best flavor in your omelet.
- Don't overcook the eggs: Overcooked eggs will be tough and rubbery. Cook the eggs until they are just set, but still slightly runny in the center.
- Use a non-stick skillet: A non-stick skillet will help prevent the omelet from sticking and tearing.
- Be patient: Cooking an omelet takes time and practice. Don't get discouraged if your first few omelets aren't perfect. Keep practicing and you'll eventually get the hang of it.
Conclusion:
Basil and feta omelets are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast, lunch, or dinner option. They're packed with flavor and nutrients, and they can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips and a little practice, you can make perfect basil and feta omelets every time.
