4 thick slices whole wheat or multigrain bread, toasted.

SERVES 4,

 1.) Heat oil in a work over a medium heat, add leeks and bacon and stir-fry for 5 minutes or until bacon is crisp. Transfer leek mixture to a bowl, add parsley, basil, and oregano and mix to combine. Set aside.

2.) In a bowl, combine the eggs, milk, cheese, and black pepper to taste and beat well.

Pour one-quarter of the egg mixture into wok and swirl so mixture covers base and sides. Top with one-quarter of the leek mixture and cook for 1 minute or until set. Remove from wok, roll up, and place on a slice of toast. Repeat with remaining mixture to make 4 omelets.

note: Fresh mint can be used in place of the oregano if you wish.

For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon and replace with well-drained, cooked spinach. Squeeze as much moisture as possible from spinach before making the omelet.
