After Nowruz, I had a lot of herbs left over. And quite a lot of feta. I also had a pile of sloppy mashed potato from a not-very-successful gnocchi making attempt.They combined to make a really fantastic brunch. The chopped herbs (chives, mint and parsley) and feta went into a light, fluffy French-style folded omelette while the mashed potato was mixed with a good amount of wholemeal flour and an egg, patted into a flat pancake and fried in a little olive oil in a heavy cast iron pan. And some bacon came along for the ride.

I LOVE a feta and herb omelette, just wonderful!
Sorry the gnocchi didn't turn out but the omelette sounds fab...what with Feta in it and all!
Great use of leftovers!
Natashya - thanks!
Peter - I've improved on my gnocchi. And feta goes so well with eggs!
Kat - thanks! It makes me feel all thrifty.
Love that you made mashed potatoes from a failed gnocchi. That is funny, but also very creative!
If you ever get around to mastering gnocchi, please post about it. My attempts, so far, have resulted in hard little pebbles... ;)
Feta and herbs go perfectly in an omlette. Nice breakfast.
Joie - there was a lot! I couldn't throw it away.
Vicci - done!
Esi - thanks! COuld have done with a mimosa though.
