Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon olive oil
½ cup sliced baby bella or white mushrooms
½ teaspoon minced garlic
¼ cup sliced zucchini
½ cup cherry tomatoes (Cut in half.)
¼ cup chopped bell pepper
4 cups fresh spinach
2 tablespoons butter
6 large eggs (Beaten)
salt and pepper (You can vary this according to your taste. I usually do ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper per omelette.)
¼ cup sliced black olives
1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil (You can substitute ½ teaspoon of dried basil.)
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Add olive oil to medium non-stick skillet over medium heat. Allow oil to heat for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add sliced mushroom and garlic and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Add zucchini, tomatoes and bell pepper. Saute until soft but not mushy, about 3 minutes.
  • Add spinach and cook until spinach cooks down and wilts, about 3-4 minutes.Remove vegetable mixture to a bowl and set aside. Wipe skillet with a paper towel.
  • Add eggs and salt and pepper to a blender and blend for about 1 minute. Alternatively, you can add the eggs and salt and pepper to a medium bowl and whisk vigorously for 1-2 minutes. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in skillet over medium heat.
  • Reduce heat to low-medium. Add half of the egg mixture and cook until warmed and the edges are beginning to set, about 30 seconds. Using a heatproof spatula, lift the cooked edges and gently push them toward the center. At the same time, lift and tilt the pan to allow the liquid egg on top to flow underneath, then cook for 30 seconds longer. Repeat as necessary along the perimeter until no liquid egg remains.
  • When the eggs are almost set but still moist on top, sprinkle half of the vegetable mixture on one side of the omelette.
  • Sprinkle ½ of cheese, basil and black olives on top of the vegetable mixture. Cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute longer.
  • Using a wide spatula, fold the untopped half of the omelette over the filled half. Allow to cook about 30 seconds longer to allow the cheese to melt and the omelette to meld together. Slide the omelette onto a serving plate.Repeat steps 6-9 for the second omelette. Serve warm with chopped basil as a garnish, if desired.

FRESH HERBS OMELET



Fresh Herbs Omelet image

This is called a "fines herbes" omelet in France, and usually contains finely minced parsley and chives, sometimes tarragon or chervil as well. The herbs should be sweet ones rather than bitter or sharp; basil, mint, and dill would also work. This is a classic French rolled omelet, served hot, right out of the pan, an utterly satisfying quick meal. The classic French omelet is made with butter, but in the Mediterranean a healthier version is made with olive oil. Use a nonstick pan for this.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Time 10m

Yield 2 rolled omelets, serving 2

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 large or extra-large eggs
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon milk
3 tablespoons minced chopped herbs, such as parsley, dill, chives, tarragon, chervil, basil, mint (use no more than 3)
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Break 2 eggs into a bowl and beat with a fork or a whisk until frothy. Add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste (about 1/8 teaspoon salt), and 2 teaspoons milk. Whisk half the herbs into the eggs and mix well.
  • Heat an 8-inch nonstick omelet pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 teaspoons of the olive oil. When the oil feels hot when you hold your hand above it, pour in the eggs, scraping every last bit into the pan. 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, jerk the pan quickly away from you then back towards you so that the omelet folds over on itself. Tilt the pan and roll out onto a plate. Repeat with the remaining eggs and herbs, and serve.

FARM-FRESH OMELET

Provided by ratherbeswimmin

Categories     Breakfast

Time 37m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 extra-large eggs
salt
fresh ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 baby leek, sliced into thin half-moons (white and light green parts, may substitute 2 scallions)
1 cup lightly packed chopped fresh spinach
1/4 cup diced tomatoes, squeezed of juice (may substitute halved cherry tomatoes)
1/2 cup crumbled mild creamy goat cheese (may substitute grated sharp cheddar cheese)

Steps:

  • Crack eggs into a mixing bowl; add salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon water; whisk just enough to combine the yolks and whites; you should still see large bubbles; set aside.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a 7-8 inch omelet pan or skillet (nonstick) over medium heat.
  • Add in leek; stir/saute about 5 minutes until soft (scallions will take about half this time).
  • Stir in spinach; cook until wilted, with no watery liquid.
  • Spoon mixture out into a bowl, stir in tomatoes and salt lightly.
  • Wipe out the pan; warm it again over high heat.
  • Add the remaining tablespoon butter, swirling to coat the entire surface thoroughly.
  • Just when the butter begins to color, add the egg mixture and swirl it to coat the entire surface.
  • Let the pan sit directly over the heat for a few seconds, until the eggs just begin to set in the bottom of the pan.
  • Spoon the leek mixture over the egg, quickly followed by about half the cheese.
  • Pull the pan sharply toward you several times and then tilt the pan and use a spatula to fold the front half of the omelet over the back.
  • Tip the omelet out onto a heatproof plate, neatening it with a spatula.
  • Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top; arrange extra tomatoes over or on the side; serve immediatly.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality vegetables. This will ensure that your omelet is packed with flavor and nutrients.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too many vegetables, they will not cook evenly and the omelet will be soggy.
  • Cook the vegetables until they are tender-crisp. You don't want them to be mushy, but you also don't want them to be raw.
  • Use a non-stick skillet. This will help to prevent the omelet from sticking and breaking.
  • Cook the omelet over medium heat. This will help to prevent it from burning.
  • Be patient. It takes a few minutes for an omelet to cook through. Don't try to rush it, or you will end up with a raw or overcooked omelet.
  • Serve the omelet immediately. This is when it is at its best.

Conclusion:

A fresh vegetable omelet is a delicious, healthy, and versatile breakfast or brunch option. It is easy to make, and can be tailored to your own preferences. With so many different vegetables to choose from, there are endless possibilities for flavor combinations. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give a fresh vegetable omelet a try.
