Spinach, Cheese, Mushroom & Leek Omelette

Rien ne me rappelle d' après-midi à Paris comme une omelette avec du pain, salade et un verre de vin blanc.   Où est le Métro? . . .

OK, okay . . .  back to reality.

Simply, hearty and versatile, you have to love the omelette.  Add in whatever vegetables you have at hand.  And if someone happens to start hovering in the kitchen and mumbling something about changing their mind about wanting some lunch after you start cooking, you can usually add in a few more eggs and share.
