GREEN OMELETTE
When I made this, the original title of the recipe was Eat Your Greens Omelette. I gave one serving to my taste tester and he took one look at it and said "This is a green egg!" This is how it got its official name. There is some work involved but it is worth it in the end. For sautéing the vegetables I used olive oil, but you can use any kind of oil you like.

Steps:
- Sauté the shallots and spinach for about 5 minutes. Set aside in a small bowl and then sauté the green pepper and broccoli for 5 minutes. (I did it this way, because it was easier than doing one at a time.).
- In a small break 3 eggs and mix very well with a fork. Melt the butter or margarine in a frying pan, on medium high heat and then add the eggs.
- Very quickly add two tbsp spinach, some pine nuts (the amount is up to you depending on how much you or your loved ones like pine nuts), 2 tsp shallot, two tbsp green pepper, 2 tbsp broccoli. Sprinkle Gouda cheese over the egg and vegetables, and let set for about 3-4 minutes.
- Flip over half the omelette and continue to cook for another 2 minutes. Repeat two more times.
- Serve warm.

Steps:
- In a small skillet with lid, over medium-low heat, heat olive oil. Add garlic, basil, and chili flakes, cook for 3 minutes. Add baby spinach, reduce heat to low, cover and cook until spinach is wilted. Transfer mixture to food processor (or high-sided bowl if using hand mixer) and purée. Set aside and allow to cool slightly. In same skillet, add margarine. When melted, add onion. Cook over low heat, covered, to carmelize onions, stirring occassionally. Meanwhile, add 3 egg whites and 2 whole eggs to a medium high-sided bowl. Beat eggs with handheld mixer on high speed until eggs are pale, frothy, and have tripled in volume, about 2 minutes. Slowly add spinach puree mixture and continue to beat until incorporated into eggs. Swirl 2 tbsp olive oil in a non stick skillet over medium heat to coat sides. Pour in egg mixture and let sit until it begins to set on bottom of skillet, about 20 seconds. Vigorously shake skillet back and forth to distribute the eggs, knocking them off the edge of the skillet; continue shaking over medium-high heat for about a minute and a half. Using a flick of the wrist, or a rubber spatula, flip the omelette and cook until set on the other side, about 30 seconds. Top with carmelized onions, and other toppings as desired (goat cheese goes very well with the carmelized onions). Slide omelette onto a plate, folding in half using fingers or spatula as a guide. Makes 1 large omelette, perfect for sharing.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your omelette.
- Don't overcook the eggs. An overcooked omelette will be tough and rubbery. Cook it just until the eggs are set, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Be generous with the fillings. The more fillings you add, the more flavor your omelette will have. Some popular fillings include cheese, vegetables, meat, and seafood.
- Use a good quality non-stick pan. This will help prevent the omelette from sticking and make it easier to flip.
- Don't be afraid to experiment. There are endless possibilities when it comes to making omelettes. Try different combinations of fillings and cooking methods to find your favorite way to make them.
Conclusion:
Omelettes are a quick, easy, and delicious meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover ingredients. With so many different ways to make them, there is sure to be an omelette recipe that everyone will enjoy.
