Wild greens are commonly collected and prepared throughout Greece, but nowhere is this more common than on the island of Crete. Greens are served with nearly every meal and they are prepared in a number of ways, including in this omelet. You can use any greens you have on hand but if you have the talent for foraging, feel free to collect your own greens like the Cretans do!

Greek Style Omelet with Greens (Omeleta me Horta) Recipe Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup Greek olive oil

• 3 cups mixed greens, such as spinach, sorrel, and arugula
