1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup grated Gruyère cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, oil-packed and chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Preparation:

    1. Prepare the Bread: Combine flour, salt, and baking powder in your bread machine. Add milk, egg, and melted butter. Set the machine to the dough cycle and let it knead and rise.
    2. Create the Omelet Filling: In a bowl, combine Gruyère cheese, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
    3. Assemble the Omelet: Once the dough has risen, remove it from the machine and shape it into a large rectangle. Place the cheese and vegetable mixture in the center of the dough. Fold the sides of the dough over the filling, creating a sealed package.
    4. Cook the Omelet: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and place the sealed dough package in the pan. Cook until golden brown on both sides.
    5. Serve: Cut the omelet into slices and serve immediately with a side of fresh fruit and a dollop of Greek yogurt.

    Total Time: 2 hours (including bread machine time)
