4 teaspoons unsalted butter
4 ounces grated cheddar cheese (1 cup)

Yield Makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 15- to 15 1/2-ounce can black beans, rinsed, drained
3/4 cup purchased tomatillo salsa
4 large eggs
2 green onions, chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons butter, divided
1/2 red bell pepper, cut into strips
2 cups sliced mushrooms (about 5 ounces)
1 cup (packed) coarsely grated Monterey Jack cheese (about 4 ounces)
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Stir black beans and tomatillo salsa in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat until heated through. Remove bean and salsa mixture from heat. Cover and keep warm while preparing omelet.
  • Whisk eggs, green onions, salt, and ground black pepper in medium bowl to blend. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add bell pepper and sliced mushrooms to skillet; stir until mushrooms are brown, about 8 minutes. Transfer vegetables to bowl.
  • Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in same skillet over medium heat. Add egg mixture. Cook without stirring until beginning to set, about 4 minutes. Sprinkle with vegetables, Jack cheese, and 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro. Cover skillet and cook until cheese melts and eggs are set, about 2 minutes. Slide large spatula under omelet to loosen. Fold omelet in half; turn out onto platter. Top omelet with bean and salsa mixture. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices will give your omelet the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the eggs: Overcooked eggs will be tough and rubbery. Cook them until they are just set, but still slightly runny in the center.
  • Use a non-stick skillet: This will help prevent the omelet from sticking and breaking.
  • Be careful when flipping the omelet: Use a spatula to gently loosen the edges of the omelet before flipping it. Flip the omelet quickly and carefully to avoid breaking it.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you are making a large omelet, cook it in batches. Overcrowding the skillet will make it difficult to cook the omelet evenly.
  • Serve the omelet immediately: Omelets are best enjoyed fresh out of the skillet.
