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.

Oh wow! This is a quick and simple recipe but it is so delicious! Your directions are also spot-on; I very rarely get omelets to flip properly and this one came out just right! I, too, used kalamata olives (thanks for the excuse to get some LOL!) and I highly recommend that swap. Thanks for posting; I know I will make this again. Made for 123 hits tag.
