FRESH SALSA OMELET

I made these omelets for Father's Day brunch and everyone said they were great. I don't usually make salsa from scratch but after tasting this one, I will continue to do so, unless I really need a lot! If you don't have time to make fresh salsa for this recipe, substitute 2 cups of your favourite store-bought brand.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 eggs
1 pinch salt
1 pinch ground black pepper
4 teaspoons butter
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1 1/3 cups cherry tomatoes, quartered
1/3 cup sweet green pepper, chopped
1/3 cup red onion, finely chopped
4 teaspoons fresh coriander, chopped
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • To make the salsa, combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
  • To make the omelets, whisk together the eggs, 2 tablespoons water, salt and pepper just until blended but not frothy.
  • In a 8" nonstick skillet, melt 1 teaspoons of the butter over medium heat.
  • Pour one-quarter of the egg mixture into the skillet.
  • Cook until almost set, gently lifting the edge with the spatula to allow any uncooked eggs to flow underneath, about 3 minutes.
  • Spoon 1/3 cup of the salsa onto half of the omelet, then sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the cheese over the salsa.
  • Fold the uncovered half over the top.
  • Cook for 2 minutes.
  • Slide onto a plate.
  • Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
  • Serve with the remaining salsa.
