Best Leek And Pepper Omelette Recipes
LEEK AND PEPPER OMELETTE
I found this recipe in Janet Wright's book "The top 100 health tips", published by Lifetime Distributers, Castle Hill, Australia. Janet says "Eating the right meal within an hour or two after excercise could make the biggest difference you've noticed yet. That's the time when your body needs - and most effectively uses - food to turn your effort into stronger muscles and increased energy levels. It's also when you burn fat most effectively. Eggs are a concentrated source of muscle-building amino acids and other body-building nutrients. They're also rich in vitamin K, which helps to heal bruises and other minor sports injuries. This vitamin works by ensuring that blood is able to clot normally, so it could also reduce the danger of blood clots in arteries." The original recipe called for groundnut oil, but I think butter would work just fine - or any other oil you have on hand. This would make a nice breakfast for an extremely hungry person, or could be shared among a few people. If you're just making it for yourself, you might want to halve it. I haven't tried this recipe yet.

Steps:
- Sauté sausage in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat until brown, breaking sausage into pieces with fork, about 5 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer sausage to paper towels. Add mushrooms to skillet and sauté until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Season mushrooms to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer mushrooms to bowl. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in same skillet. Add leek and thyme and sauté until very soft, about 6 minutes. Season leek mixture to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
- Whisk 3 eggs and 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped rosemary in small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in half of leek mixture. Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil in 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add egg mixture to skillet and swirl with rubber spatula. Cook until bottom of mixture is light brown and eggs are set on top, lifting sides of omelet to let uncooked egg flow under, about 3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat. Arrange half of sausage, mushrooms, peppers and cheese on 1/3 of omelet. Fold one side of omelet over filling and roll out onto heated plate. Garnish with rosemary sprig. Repeat with remaining mushrooms, peppers and cheese, forming second omelet.
