 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  6       oz           Feta -- Preferably Bulgarian
    1/2   c            Scallions (Green Onions)
                       -Finely Chopped
  1 1/2   ts           Sweet Hungarian Paprika
                       -Plus More For Garnish
  6       lg           Eggs
    1/3   c            Milk
                       Salt And Freshly Ground
                       -Black Pepper
  2       tb           Unsalted (Sweet) Butter
  2       tb           Fresh Dill -- For Garnish

 If the feta is too salty, soak in cold water for 30
 minutes.  Drain well and crumble into fine pieces.
 Combine, in a bowl, with the scallions and paprika,
 then set aside.  In a large bowl, whisk the eggs,
 milk, salt and pepper, together, until frothy.  Melt
 the butter in a 10-inch omelet pan over medium heat.
 When the butter bubbles rapidly, add half of the egg
 mixture and stir until it just begins to set.
 Continue cooking until the eggs are almost completely
 cooked, running a thin spatula around the edges to
 prevent sticking, about 1 1/2 minutes.  Sprinkle half
 of the feta mixture on the omelet, then reduce the
 heat to very low, cover, and cook for 1 minute more.
 Slide the omelet onto a plate, folding it over if
 desired.  Repeat with the remaining ingredients making
 1 more omelet. Serve at once, sprinkled with more
 paprika and the fresh dill.
