Kittencal's Greek Feta and Olive Omelette

Kittencalskitchen's Note:

yes baking powder you read correctly... this is the secret to the must fluffiest eggs! you may adjust all amounts to taste, since the feta cheese is highly salted I have left the salt as optional, if you really wanted to take this omelette to another level add in some fresh sauteed mushrooms slices :) --- also see my Kittencal's Fluffiest Scrambled Eggs

As I currently have access to a direct supply of wonderful free-range eggs direct from a farm, I've been making omelets pretty regularly, and this one with its classic Greek ingredients suited our taste preferences beautifully. :) I used Greek yoghurt instead of the whipping cream and added rosemary and sage to the oregano. As for the olives, I never buy any but kalamata olives: love them. I've used baking powder in omelets before and for me it's now a standard ingredient. To anyone checking out this recipe and considering making it, it's fabulous... and don't leave out the baking powder. Thanks KITTENCAL for another super-fabulous recipe! Made for 1-2-3 Hit Wonders.
