- 4-6 green lettuce leaves, finely chopped (about 2 cups)
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 6 eggs, beaten

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Make sauce: Mix cucumber, yogurt, fromage blanc, raisins, and mint in a small bowl. Set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a 9-inch (22.5-cm) ovenproof skillet. Add herbs, lettuce, and onions. Stir occasionally and cook 5 minutes to soften. Transfer to plate to cool.
