*Farmer cheese is a mild, part-skim, semisoft cheese available in 8 oz rounds. Havarti or Monterey Jack cheese may be substituted.

SPINACH, CHEDDAR, AND BACON OMELET: Substitute 1 (10 oz) pkg frozen, thawed, and well drained chopped spinach for thyme. Omit farmer cheese and fresh basil. Top with 8 oz shredded Cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup cooked, crumbled bacon.
