Directions

Combine eggs, spinach, oregano and salt in a medium bowl. Beat until well blended. Lightly coat a 9-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray, heat over medium heat.



Pour egg mixture into skillet. Cook until bottom is lightly browned and firm, about 5-6 minutes. With a spatula, flip the omelet to the other side and cook 3 minutes more. Transfer omelet to a platter. Sprinkle tomatoes and cheese on one half (and onions, if desired) and fold over other half to cover.



Let stand 1 minute to warm tomatoes and cheese. Cut in half.

I make it for one, use 1/2 the ingredients, use 2 egg whites and one egg instead of 2 eggs.
