Update: I went ahead and made the recipe with egg substitute and just as I finished making it, my husband woke up and wanted it! So, I had to make another one for myself and it was delicious!!! I really don’t like eggs, but you’ve made me a believer that I can have them prepared in different ways and they will be very tasty. I always shied away from making them because I didn’t eat them and was intimidated by trying to make egg-based foods because I didn’t think I’d know what it was “supposed” to taste like. Anyway, this was yummy and such a good departure from my usual cereal! It made quite a good-sized serving and with the egg substitute, it was only 196 calories! Thanks, again, for sharing your adventures in the kitchen!

Roni-
1) Thank you for supplying so many pictures with your recipes. They really take the intimidation out of trying new recipes! I’ve been looking for breakfast ideas using eggs because I don’t really like eggs, but I don’t mind them when mixed with other things like ham, cheese, peppers, onions, etc. When you wrote “bacon bits” I wasn’t sure if that meant “bacon bits” the way I think of it, or real bacon that you had pre-cooked/chopped. Anyway, the picture answered my question! :)
2) Since I don’t love eggs, I was thinking of trying these types of recipes with egg substitutes. I assume that they are lower in calories and all the other things that are “bad” about eggs that I wouldn’t want to waste on an egg meal :) Do you ever use egg substitutes for things like this (and your other egg-based meals)? If so, do you find they come out as good and/or are lower in calories/points?
Thanks!

I had a similar meal at a little local restaurant a couple months back, It was on pita bread and had some shredded cheese on it, But almost the same, and they did have an omelette version which I tried on the next visit.
I loved the taste of the Feta.
Take a peek at the post I wrote about it. link to brianmcvay.com

Use it in egg whites too, great flavor booster! I like it with tomatoes too.

Haha I love seeing how everyone makes their omelettes, they are always different.
I make mine thicks and I scramble them in the pan a bit and let it all settle down then add my fillings while its still a bit runny.
Then again I put a raw egg in hot white rice with some sweet soy sauce and mix it up like a maniac.
Its only 1 in 20,000 people that get salmonella from raw eggs. I’ll take my chances. Besides the japanese do it alot and I’ll trust a nation’s judgement on food saftey lol.

UGH! another typo.. I think I need to slow down.

It’s only 6g of carbs. Thanks for pointing it out!!

Are the carbs right on this? It seems like it’s all protein. Not sure where 30 carbs would come from.
Just checking. It looks delicious. Thanks! Sharon

Yum!

BTW, your disclaimer says fetal instead of feta in a couple of places. Made me smile!

Love it!

This morning I had a humungous wrap made with egg whites (3/4 cup of the liquid whites!), really big handful of spinach, an ounce of shredded gruyere, and a large La Tortilla Factory tortilla. If I had my way it’d have mushrooms and/or bacon in it, and I might have put some nutmeg in it and replaced 1/4 cup of egg whites with one whole egg, but I was in a rush!

Looks delish, Roni! I love feta and spinach and eggs but have never made an actual Greek omelet. You’ve inspired me to try!
