SHRIMP AND SPINACH OMELET
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.

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.

STIR-FRIED VEGETABLE AND SHRIMP OMELET

Steps:
- Place the shiitake mushrooms in a small bowl, add 3/4 cup boiling water, and let sit 30 minutes. Strain; cut the mushrooms into 1/4-inch slices. Set aside. Pour the liquid through a coffee filter to strain; set aside. Place the eggs, egg whites, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl, and whisk to combine. Divide egg mixture evenly between 2 small bowls, and set aside.
- Place the wok over high heat. Add 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil. When hot, add the shrimp, and cook, stirring frequently, until bright pink and just cooked, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from wok, and place in a small bowl. Add the remaining 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil to the wok. Add the onion and garlic, and cook, stirring constantly until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the carrot and red pepper, and cook, stirring frequently, until just tender, about 4 minutes. Add the reserved soaked mushrooms, reserved shrimp, snow peas, and bean shoots, and stir to combine.
- Push the vegetables and shrimp to the sides of the wok. Add the reserved mushroom-soaking liquid, hoisin sauce, low-sodium soy sauce, cornstarch mixture, ginger, and chile to the center of the wok, and stir until combined and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Combine sauce with the vegetables and shrimp. Transfer vegetable-and-shrimp mixture to a bowl, and cover to keep warm.
- Wipe out the wok, and return to high heat. Add canola oil, and swirl to coat wok. Pour half the egg mixture into the wok; swirl so the egg mixture coats the wok creating an omelet of even thickness, about 10 inches in diameter. Continue to swirl as the egg cooks, about 3 minutes. Once the omelet is completely set and browned on the bottom, use a spatula to loosen it, and slide it onto a plate. Cover to keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining egg mixture to make a second omelet. Add half the reserved vegetable-and-shrimp mixture to half of each omelet; fold the omelets to cover the vegetable-and-shrimp mixture. Cut omelets in half, and transfer them to serving plates; garnish with snow-pea shoots if desired.

Tips:
- For a fluffier omelet, separate the egg whites and yolks. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form and then fold them into the beaten egg yolks.
- Use a nonstick skillet or a well-seasoned cast iron skillet to cook the omelet. This will help prevent the omelet from sticking.
- Cook the omelet over medium heat. This will help prevent the omelet from burning.
- Flip the omelet once, when the bottom is cooked through and the top is still slightly runny. This will help ensure that the omelet is cooked evenly.
- Add your favorite fillings to the omelet before you flip it. This could include cheese, vegetables, meat, or seafood.
- Serve the omelet immediately with your favorite sides.
Conclusion:
Omelets are a quick and easy meal that can be made with a variety of ingredients. They are a great option for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a little practice, you can make a perfect omelet every time. So get creative and experiment with different fillings and sides to find your favorite omelet recipe.
