How to Store This Recipe

A Mediterranean omelet is best served warm and eaten immediately. 

But if you have leftovers or are preparing a batch ahead, simply store in a tightly sealed container and refrigerate for up to 2 to 3 days.

To reheat, use a microwave or stovetop in a pan over medium-low heat, with a tablespoon of water to keep the omelet from overcooking and getting dry. Cover the pan with a lid and heat for 5 to 10 minutes or until warmed through.
