Instructions
- 1.Preheat oven to 350ºF. Film a 10-inch skillet (with an ovenproof handle) with the olive oil, and heat over medium high. Add the onions, a little salt and pepper. Sauté them to golden brown. Stir in the red pepper, thyme, garlic, and raisins. Sauté about 2 minutes and add the cooked vegetables. Sauté another 2 minutes, or until heated through. Stir in the nuts. Set the pan aside.
- 2. Beat together the eggs, milk, nutmeg, salt, pepper, and 2/3 of the cheese. Pour the mixture over the cooked greens. Sprinkle with the remaining cheeses, cover with foil, and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake 10 to 15 minutes more, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out with only a few bits of creamy egg and cheese clinging to it. Remove the pan from the oven. Let the omelet stand 10 minutes before cutting into wedges.
