Method

Cook chorizo and drain; stir in spinach and mushrooms; set pan aside. Melt butter in an omelet or flat saute pan. Sprinkle onion flakes into the pan. Beat eggs and add to pan at a medium-low setting. Sprinkle feta, cottage cheese and cheddar onto egg/onion mixture on half of the pan. Sprinkle your mushroom-spinach-chorizo mix on top of cheeses. Add sliced tomatoes across. Fold egg over mixture and cook on low heat until egg is done.

 

Notes: Sliced mushrooms can be softened first in microwave before adding to omelet. Another type of sausage or bacon may be substituted for the Chorizo.
