Omelet with Parsley, Mushrooms and Feta   

          Preparation and cooking time: 15 minutes
     The feta I buy is in small cubes, covered in olive oil.  The weight of the cheese was about 6oz (200gr).  I used 3 cubes in each omelet, which would be about a tablespoon each, or 1oz (30gr); just for a bit of sharp flavor. My parsley is perfect right now; lush and green and full of flavor!  

2oz mushrooms    any interesting variety            62.5gr, 2.2oz
5 - 6 stems fresh parsley substitute 2 tbs dried
1oz feta cheese            30gr, 1oz
4 eggs            260gr, 9oz
4 tsp olive oil            18gr, .64oz

Remove parsley leaves from stem and leave whole.  Divide into 2 piles and set aside.  Clean mushrooms (using brush - do NOT wash) and slice thickly.   Heat 2 tsp oil in medium nonstick skillet.  Add mushrooms and sauté until golden brown, about 10 minutes.  Remove from pan and divide in 2.  In a medium bowl beat 2 eggs well with a wire whisk.  Heat an 8 inch nonstick skillet or omelet pan over medium-high heat.  Add half of the remaining oil.  Add eggs and swirl around to cover bottom of pan.  When the eggs are almost set lay half of the parsley leaves on half of the omelet.  Top with half of the mushrooms and half of the feta.  With a spatula turn other half of omelet on top.  Leave in the pan another 20 - 30 seconds to finish cooking, then remove to plate.  Can be put into 250F (125C) oven to keep warm while you make the other omelet...or just cover with a lid.  Oh yes - repeat for second omelet.  Serve, garnished with a few olives if you have them.
