Best Omelet With Fried Sage And Gruyere Recipes

BAKED GRUYERE AND SAUSAGE OMELET

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly butter an 8 by 8-inch baking dish.
• Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the sausage and cook until brown, about 5 minutes. Set the pan aside to cool.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt and pepper, to taste, until smooth, about 20 seconds. Add the red bell pepper, 1 cup of Gruyere cheese and 1/4 cup of parsley. Stir in the onion mixture. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.
• Cut the baked omelet into wedges and sprinkle with remaining parsley before serving.
• Cook's Note: To make individual servings, divide the batter between 4 buttered 8-ounce ramekins. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes.

FRIED SAGE WITH ANCHOVIES

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a deep, heavy-bottomed frying pan.
• Place an anchovy between 2 sage leaves, like a sandwich. Repeat until all the anchovies and sage leaves are used up. Then dip the sage sandwiches into egg and then dredge in flour. Shake off any excess flour. Gently place the sage leaves into the hot oil and let fry until golden and crispy. Transfer to a plate with an absorbent paper towel. Sprinkle with salt to taste while the sage leaves are hot. Serve immediately.

HERBED GRUYèRE OMELETS

Steps:

• Whisk 3 eggs, 1 teaspoon chives, 1 teaspoon tarragon and 1 teaspoon parsley in bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Preheat broiler. Melt 1 teaspoon butter in 8- to 9-inch-diameter nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour egg mixture into skillet. Stir until eggs begin to set, lifting edge of omelet with spatula and tilting skillet to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath. Cook until omelet is softly set, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle packed 1/3 cup cheese down center of omelet. Roll up omelet; place in broilerproof baking dish large enough to hold 2 omelets. Repeat with remaining eggs, herbs, butter and 1/3 cup cheese to form second omelet. Sprinkle remaining 1/3 cup cheese over omelets.
• Broil omelets until cheese is bubbling and slightly brown, about 2 minutes.

WILD MUSHROOMS, SHALLOT AND GRUYèRE OMELETS

Steps:

• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in heavy small skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and shallots and sauté until mushrooms are tender, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and mix in 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley.
• Beat 3 eggs and 2 teaspoons water in small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Heat small omelet pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons butter and heat until foam begins to subside. Add egg mixture. Stir eggs with fork several times, drawing back of fork across bottom of pan. Lift edges of egg and let uncooked egg flow under until top is almost set. Spoon half of cheese, then half of mushroom mixture down center of omelet. Fold omelet over filling in thirds and transfer to plate. Make second omelet with remaining eggs, water, salt and pepper, 1 1/2 tablespoons butter, mushrooms and cheese. Garnish with parsley.

SIZZLING HAM AND GRUYèRE OMELET

Steps:

• Using a whisk or a fork, beat the eggs in a small bowl until frothy.
• Heat the butter in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the ham and sauté for 1 minute, or until crisp.
• Pour the eggs into the pan, tilting the pan gently to evenly distribute the eggs over the ham. Let the eggs cook and set for about 5 seconds.
• Using a silicone or rubber spatula, gently pull the cooked egg from the edges toward the center of the pan, while allowing the liquid egg to run underneath and onto the hot pan. After about 20 seconds, or when the eggs look cooked but are still moist, sprinkle the omelet with the Gruyère cheese.
• Using the spatula, fold the omelet in half. Cook the omelet for another 30 seconds, or until the cheese is melted. Tip the pan over a serving plate so that the omelet slides onto the plate bottom side up.

GRUYèRE AND PARSLEY OMELETS

Steps:

• Beat eggs, 2 tablespoons parsley, 2 teaspoons water, dried herbs, salt and pepper in small bowl to blend. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of egg mixture (about 1/2 cup) to skillet. Cook until eggs are just set in center, tilting pan and lifting edge of omelet with spatula to let uncooked portion flow underneath, about 2 minutes. Top half of omelet with 1/4 cup cheese. Using spatula, fold other half of omelet over cheese; slide out onto plate. Repeat with remaining butter, egg mixture and cheese. Sprinkle omelets with remaining 1 tablespoon parsley.
