High Protein Spinach & Herb Omelette
This frittata-like Persian dish is packed with flavorful herbs that will leave you feeling refreshed and satisfied. In Persian cuisine,(what I grew up on) herbs are treated not as seasonings, but as vegetables. So be prepared for the incredible herb flavors.
Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a side with dinner, you can serve this dish as is or with some yogurt. Enjoy!!
