from "KATHIMERINI" newspaper

Ingredients (for 4-5 people)

For the omelette:

1/3 tea-cup of olive oil
10 Spring onions, finely chopped (white and green parts)
10 eggs
200gr. of feta cheese, crumbled
160gr. of mild yellow cheese of your choice, grated
1 bunch of fresh dill, finely snipped (without the stalks)
1 tsp of sweet paprika

salt

pepper

For the potato salad:
1Kg of potatoes
1/2 bunch of flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped (without the stalks)
1 tsp of dry oregano
150ml of olive oil
1/2 lemon, the juice
1 tbsp of mustard
rock salt

pepper

Method:

Wash and boil the potatoes (skin on), then drain in a colander and allow to cool. Peel and cut in small cubes and place in a large salad bowl.

In a another small bowl put the olive oil, the lemon juice, the mustard, the oregano, some salt and pepper and mix well with a fork. Pour the dressing over the potatoes and gently mix.

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

In a deep non-stick frying pan warm the oil on high heat and sauté the Spring onions for about 4 minutes stirring with a wooden spoon. Take the pan off the heat and transfer the onions in a large bowl.

In a separate bowl beat the eggs until they become fluffy and frothy (2-3 minutes with a handmixer or 5 minutes with a whisk).

Add the cheeses, the dill and the paprika in the bowl with the onions, then add the eggs mixture and season with salt and pepper. Mix the ingredients and empty into a deep oven tray with a diameter of about 26-28cm.

Place the oven tray on the second shelf of the oven and cook for about 25 minutes until the omelette is set and golden brown.

Serve immediately cutting into square pieces along with the potato salad sprinkled on top with the parsley and accompany with some fresh crusty bread.
