Best 4 Layered Spring Omelet Recipes

LAYERED SPRING OMELET

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add tomatoes, and simmer until almost all the liquid has evaporated, about 25 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Transfer tomatoes to a stainless-steel colander, and drain any excess liquid. Set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine eggs, salt, black pepper, nutmeg, and cayenne pepper. Lightly beat mixture with a fork.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a 10-inch heat-proof, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Pour one-third of the egg mixture, about 1 1/2 cups, into skillet. Using a rubber spatula, stir eggs until they just begin to set, about 1 minute. Sprinkle both cheeses on top. Using spatula, gently pull sides of omelet toward center so any uncooked liquid runs underneath. Cook until eggs have almost completely set, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Transfer the skillet to oven, and bake until fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove skillet from oven. Place a baking sheet on top of skillet, and invert skillet onto baking sheet, releasing the omelet layer; hold both baking sheet and skillet firmly so omelet doesn't slide. Set aside in a warm place.
• Carefully wipe out the hot skillet with a paper towel. Add 1 tablespoon butter, and melt over medium-high heat. Pour another third of the egg mixture into the skillet, and stir with the rubber spatula until the eggs just begin to set, about 1 minute. Add half of the reserved cooked tomatoes to the eggs. Using the spatula, gently pull sides of the omelet toward the center so any uncooked liquid runs underneath. When the eggs have almost completely set, spread the remaining tomatoes on top.
• Transfer skillet to oven, and bake until fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from oven, and place another baking sheet on top of skillet; carefully invert skillet to release second layer. Carefully slide on top of the first one, and set the two aside in a warm place.
• Wipe out the hot skillet with a paper towel. Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter, and melt over medium-high heat. Pour the remaining third of the egg mixture into the skillet, and stir with the rubber spatula until the eggs just begin to set, about 1 minute. Add half of the spinach and thyme; incorporate into the eggs. Using the spatula, gently pull sides of the omelet toward the center so any uncooked liquid runs underneath. When the eggs have almost completely set, spread remaining spinach and thyme on top.
• Transfer skillet to the oven, and bake until fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Invert the third layer onto a baking sheet, and slide on top of the other two layers.
• Transfer the three-layer omelet to a serving platter, and garnish with leeks and chives. Serve warm.

LAYERED VEGETABLE OMELET GRATIN

Steps:

• To make omelets, using 2 eggs each, make variations using the above ingredients.
• For the first omelet, combine 1 clove of garlic, spinach, artichokes, eggs, and mix well. Fry in a small omelet pan with olive oil. Flip and cook other side, then transfer to a plate.
• For the second omelet, saute the red bell pepper, and jalapeno with 1 garlic clove. Cook until pepper is softened. Add the prosciutto, 2 eggs, and cook flat, then flip and cook the other side. Transfer to a plate.
• For the third omelet, saute the asparagus with the remaining garlic, and cook until asparagus is tender. Pour 2 beaten eggs and chives over asparagus, and cook until done on first side. Flip, cook other side, and transfer to a plate.
• Repeat each step for each omelet depending on how many omelets you wish to serve.
• Preheat the broiler.
• To make the sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan, sprinkle with the flour and cook for 1 to 2 minutes over medium low heat until flour begins to turn golden. Remove from heat; add milk, and stir, mixing well. Return to heat and stir as it cooks, thickening the sauce. Stir in the cheese, and season with salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper.
• To serve, plate the omelets, pour cheese sauce over, sprinkle with grated Parmesan, and broil until lightly browned. Serve immediately.

SPRING OMELET

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the asparagus, mushrooms and onions; cook and stir until the asparagus is fairly soft, about 4 minutes. Whisk together the eggs and milk in a small bowl; pour over the sauteed vegetables and reduce the heat to medium. While the omelet cooks, lift the edge to allow the uncooked egg to flow underneath. When most of the egg is cooked, sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top. Allow the cheese to melt slightly, then fold in half and serve.
