Ingredients:

For the Yogurt:

• 1 cup Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped

For the Greek-Style Omelette:

• 2 large eggs
• 1 tomato, chopped
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped
• 1/4 red onion, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Greek Coffee:

• 1 cup water
• 1 tablespoon fine ground coffee
• 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Greek Yogurt: Pour the Greek yogurt into a bowl. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with chopped walnuts. Set aside.
2. Make the Greek-Style Omelette: In a bowl, beat the eggs, then add in the tomato, green bell pepper, and onion. Season with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Pour egg mixture into the skillet. When the omelette begins to cook and firm up, sprinkle feta cheese over the top. Cook until the omelette is fully cooked, folded in half, and golden brown on both sides.
3. Brew the Greek Coffee: In a briki (the Greek coffee pot), combine the water, coffee, and sugar to taste. Place over low-medium heat. Allow coffee to heat slowly; do not stir. When the coffee begins to froth up to the top of the briki, remove from heat, let the froth settle, and then pour into a demitasse cup.
