Gyro Omelet Recipe

Preparation: In small bowl, stir together sour cream , cucumber, 1/4 cup green onions , and garlic powder until well mixed. Cover and chill. In 10-inch omelet pan or skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef (or lamb ) until no longer pink. Drain. Add spinach , 1/4 cup of the remaining onions, parsely, mint, salt, and pepper. Cover. Cook, stirring occasionally, until spinach is tender. Set aside and keep warm. To make omelet: You will need two eggs, and two tablespoons of water for each omelet. So for three omelets beat together 6 eggs and 6 tablespoons of water until blended. Place a 10-inch omelet pan or skillet over medium heat. Put in 1 tablespoon of butter. Melt butter until a drop of water will sizzle in pan. Pour in 1/2 cup of egg mixture, and with an inverted pancake turner, carefully push cooked portions at edges toward the center so uncooked portions can reach the hot pan surface. Tilt and move the pan as necessary. When the top is thickened and no visable liquid egg remains, fill each omelet with 1/2 cup of beef or lamb mixture. With pancake turner, fold omelet in half and slide onto a serving plate. Garnish with tomatoes and mint, if desired. Serve immediately.
