Roasted Red Pepper, Spinach and Feta Omelet
The small amount of water added to the eggs turns into steam when exposed to the heat of the fry pan, making the eggs tender and fluffy. It is best to use a pan that is either nonstick or well seasoned and has low sloping sides so that the finished omelet will be easy to turn out. Serve with toasted whole-wheat bread.
