SPINACH

INGREDIENTS
1 lb spinach

COOKING

1. Put spinach in pot w/just the water that clings to the leaves after washing.  Over medium heat, cover & steam.
2. Stir spinach, cook for 1 min or less, until spinach is hot, just kissed by the heat.  Most water will evaporate.  If needed, drain in colander.

OMELETS

INGREDIENTS
1/2 TBSP butter, each omelet
8 eggs, using 2 eggs for each omelet & 2 omelets for each serving
1/2 c white cream sauce
1 cup marinara sauce

COOKING

1. Melt 1/2 TBSP butter in a medium-size skillet, running it  up the sides a little.
2. Make each omelet separately.  Beat 2 eggs lightly in a bowl; add pepper.
3. When the butter begins to bubble, pour egg mixture in skillet, tilting it so the bottom is fully covered. As egg begins to set, lift it up a little to let the uncooked egg flow to the hot part of the skillet.  Shake the pan back & forth to try and dislodge the bottom of the omelet from the skillet.  This is the part that takes some practice.  Cook until egg on top is set.  Slide onto plate.
4. Repeat, making a total of 4.

S E R V E

Place one omelet on the left side of the plate and one on the right, each overlapping by half in the center of the plate.  Place potatoes on top of the overlapping omelets the length of them, then spinach.  Spoon white cream sauce on top of spinach.  Fold over the omelet tops so one covers the other, and top with marinara sauce.  It should look like a fat, stuffed omelet.  Garnish with a little spinach.
