Time 20m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 dash salt
1 -2 tablespoon finely minced mixed fresh herbs (parsley, chives, dill, basil, marjoram, thyme, savory)
1 -2 teaspoon unsalted butter
1 -2 tablespoon grated sharp cheddar cheese
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place an omelet pan over medium heat for 1 minute. While it's heating, beat the eggs in a small bowl, adding the salt and herbs.
  • Add the butter to the pan and let it melt. Tilt the pan in all directions to distribute the butter, then pour in the egg mixture, keeping the heat to medium.
  • As eggs begin to set at the edges, carefully push cooked portion toward the center of the pan with a small spatula. At the same time, tilt the pan, allowing any remaining raw egg to fill spaces.
  • As soon as the egg stops flowing, sprinkle the grated cheese onto half the omelet. The egg mixture should still be moist, as it will continue cooking when removed from the pan and you don't want it to overcook and become leathery.
  • Use the spatula to fold the omlet in half and slide or flip it onto a plate. Serve immediately, sprinkled with freshly ground pepper to taste.

GREEN OMELETTE

When I made this, the original title of the recipe was Eat Your Greens Omelette. I gave one serving to my taste tester and he took one look at it and said "This is a green egg!" This is how it got its official name. There is some work involved but it is worth it in the end. For sautéing the vegetables I used olive oil, but you can use any kind of oil you like.

Time 32m

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

9 eggs
1/2 cup frozen spinach, torn into bite sized pieces
1/3 cup pine nuts, roughly chopped
2/3 cup gouda cheese, shredded
1/4 cup shallot, finely diced
1/2 green pepper, diced
1/2 cup broccoli floret
3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons margarine

Steps:

  • Sauté the shallots and spinach for about 5 minutes. Set aside in a small bowl and then sauté the green pepper and broccoli for 5 minutes. (I did it this way, because it was easier than doing one at a time.).
  • In a small break 3 eggs and mix very well with a fork. Melt the butter or margarine in a frying pan, on medium high heat and then add the eggs.
  • Very quickly add two tbsp spinach, some pine nuts (the amount is up to you depending on how much you or your loved ones like pine nuts), 2 tsp shallot, two tbsp green pepper, 2 tbsp broccoli. Sprinkle Gouda cheese over the egg and vegetables, and let set for about 3-4 minutes.
  • Flip over half the omelette and continue to cook for another 2 minutes. Repeat two more times.
  • Serve warm.
