This Light Italian Feta Omelet is perfect for those who are looking for a lighter and healthier breakfast or brunch option. Using egg substitute instead of real eggs makes this dish lower in calories and fat, while the addition of fresh basil, tomatoes, and feta cheese gives it a delicious Mediterranean flavor. This omelet is perfect for those following a low-cholesterol or low-fat diet, or those who are looking for a vegetarian or gluten-free option.
