1
In a small bowl, mix the zaatar with 2 tablespoons of the oil.
2
In another bowl, mash the feta, scallion and jalapeno with 1 tablespoon of water until smooth.
3
In a small nonstick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of the olive oil.
4
In a bowl, beat the eggs with the flour, salt and 1 tablespoon of water (its OK if a few lumps remain).
5
Pour half the mixture into the skillet and swirl the pan to form a thin omelet.
6
Sprinkle half the escarole and half the feta mixture evenly over the eggs; cook over moderately low heat until the escarole starts to wilt, the feta melts and the omelet is just cooked through, 3 minutes.
7
Slide onto a plate and season with pepper.

Repeat with the remaining oil, eggs, escarole and feta mixture.
9
Drizzle the zaatar oil over the omelets and serve.
