Greek vegetable omelet

4 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
3 tablespoons Olive oil, a good one
½ Onion, chopped
1 Green bell pepper, scrubbed, stemmed, and seeded, then cut in 1/4 inch (6 mm) strips
1 teaspoon Fresh sweet basil, minced
¼ cup Parsley, minced fresh
2 mediums Boiling potatoes, cooked until tender, sliced in 1/4 inch rounds
6 Eggs, well beaten
3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated, or kefalotyri cheese
Freshly ground black pepper
Sliced ripe tomatoes

Directions

In a large skillet or omelet pan, heat the oil. Saute the onion and pepper until they are soft and golden but not brown. Add the basil and parsley and stir just to heat through. Lay the potato slices in the skillet, distributing the onion, peppers and herbs throughout. When the potatoes are heated through, pour the beaten eggs over all. Sprinkle with grated cheese and set the skillet, uncovered, in a 350 F oven until the eggs are set about 20 minutes. Top with a couple of grindings of black pepper and garnish with sliced tomatoes. Serve with warm bread, olives, and wine for an easy but elegant brunch.
