A Wild Green Omelette Recipe | Rick Stein

This Wild Green Omelette Recipe by Rick Stein is really a Spanish style Fritatta due to being a baked omelette as opposed to a fried one. It only improves upon it in my opinion.

You can use your choice of greens, cale, rocket, spinach, chard and the like. It really is up to you.

If you can’t find Kefalotiri cheese substitute with Parmesan or any other hard cheese.
