Time 20m

Yield 2 Omelets, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon water
3 large eggs (If you need to restrict cholesterol, use 3/4 cup egg substitute, or use some egg whites in place of )
1 pinch fresh ground black pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 cup diced canned tomatoes with onion and garlic, drained
1/4 cup shredded muenster cheese
2 tablespoons canned sliced black olives
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Time 15m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 13

Nonstick cooking spray
2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
3 tablespoons sliced green onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup refrigerated or frozen egg product, thawed
1/4 teaspoon herbes de Provence or dried thyme or basil, crushed
1/8 teaspoon salt
Dash ground black pepper
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/4 cup (1 ounce) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon finely shredded Asiago or Parmesan cheese
1 medium plum tomato, chopped
Snipped fresh parsley (optional)

Steps:

  • Lightly coat an unheated 6- to 7-inch skillet with flared sides with nonstick cooking spray. Preheat skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms, green onion, and garlic to skillet; cook until tender; stirring frequently. Remove mushroom mixture from skillet using a slotted spoon; set aside. If necessary, pour liquid out of skillet; carefully wipe out skillet.
  • In a medium bowl, combine egg product, herbes de Provence, salt, and pepper. Beat with a whisk or rotary beater until combined. Add 1/2 teaspoon of the oil to clean skillet. Preheat skillet over medium heat.
  • Pour half of the egg mixture into prepared skillet. Cook, without stirring, about 1 minute or until egg mixture begins to set. Run a spatula around edge of skillet, lifting egg mixture so uncooked portion flows underneath.
  • Continue cooking and lifting edges until egg mixture is set but is still glossy and moist. Sprinkle with half of the mozzarella cheese. Top with half of the mushroom mixture. Continue cooking until cheese just begins to melt. Using the spatula, lift and fold an edge of the omelet partially over filling. Transfer omelet to a warm plate. Prepare another omelet with remaining oil, egg mixture, mozzarella, and mushroom mixture. Top omelets with Asiago or Parmesan cheese, tomato, and, if desired, parsley.

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your omelet will taste. If possible, use organic eggs and fresh vegetables.
  • Don't Overbeat the Eggs: Overbeaten eggs will make your omelet tough. Just whisk them until they are blended.
  • Cook the Omelet Over Medium Heat: This will help it cook evenly without burning.
  • Don't Overcook the Omelet: An overcooked omelet will be tough and dry. Cook it just until it is set, about 2-3 minutes per side.
