SHRIMP AND SPINACH OMELET



Shrimp and Spinach Omelet image

Ok, folding over an omelet, French-style, isn't easy and for the longest time, I wouldn't try it. But, really, I found it's pretty simple once you try a few times. Now, I do it daily. Also, don't be fooled by restaurants who offer 3-egg omelets: in the average, 9" pan, that many eggs will result in an omelet too thick to easily fold over the ingredients. Stick with two eggs, and you'll fare better.

Time 20m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 teaspoon olive oil
1 tablespoon garlic (minced)
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons skim milk
1/8 teaspoon thyme (dried)
salt and black pepper
1/2 ounce feta cheese
1 ounce shrimp (pre-cooked or canned)
1/2 ounce spinach (baby leaves, no stems, finely chopped or chiffonade)

Steps:

  • Using a non-stick, 9" skillet or omelet pan, heat the oil over medium-low heat and add the minced garlic.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, skim milk, and thyme. Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of fresh, black pepper.
  • When the garlic is just barely browning on the edges, pour the egg mixture into the skillet and, tilting it slightly or stirring, slosh it around so it covers all the garlic and the bottom of the pan.
  • Keep an eye on the omelet as the eggs stiffen. When the bottom of the eggs are fairly solid but there is still a good amount of liquid eggs on top, sprinkle the feta cheese over the eggs.
  • Continue cooking for about 2-3 more minutes and , then, make a thin line of shrimp about one-third of the way across the eggs. On top of that, sprinkle the finely chopped spinach in a row (reserving a pinch for garnish).
  • With a slender spatula (or turner), loosen the edges of the eggs from the skillet. Then, slide the spatula under the third of the omelet that has the shrimp and spinach on it. Fold the eggs over the ingredients towards the center of the omelet and hold, there, for just a few moments.
  • Over the serving plate, slide the omelet out -unfolded side first- and roll the already folded section over the flatter portion. You may have to do this several times on subsequent attempts to get the hang of it.
  • Sprinkle the top of the omelet with the reserved spinach and serve.

SPINACH AND GARLIC OMELET



Spinach and Garlic Omelet image

You can use bagged baby spinach or stemmed and washed bunch spinach for this simple omelet with Mediterranean flavors.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     breakfast, for one, main course

Time 15m

Yield 1 serving.

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 ounces baby spinach or stemmed, washed bunch spinach (2 cups, tightly packed)
1 large or 2 small garlic cloves, minced or puréed
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 eggs
2 to 3 teaspoons low-fat milk
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons freshly grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Wash the spinach and wilt in a frying pan over medium-high heat. The water remaining on the spinach leaves after washing will be sufficient. Drain, allow to cool and squeeze out excess water. Chop medium-fine and toss with half the garlic and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Break the eggs into another bowl and beat with a fork or a whisk until they are frothy. Whisk in the remaining garlic, salt and pepper to taste and 2 to 3 teaspoons milk.
  • Heat an 8-inch nonstick omelet pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 teaspoons olive oil. Hold your hand an inch or two above the pan, and when it feels hot, pour the eggs into the middle of the pan, scraping every last bit into the pan with a rubber spatula. Swirl the pan to distribute the eggs evenly over the surface. Shake the pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up the edges of the omelet with the spatula in your other hand, to let the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking.
  • As soon as the eggs are set on the bottom, sprinkle the spinach over the middle of the egg pancake and top with the Parmesan, then jerk the pan quickly away from you then back toward you so that the omelet folds over on itself. If you don't like your omelet runny in the middle (I do), jerk the pan again so that the omelet folds over once more. Cook for a minute or two longer. Tilt the pan and roll the omelet out onto a plate.
