MEDITERRANEAN BROCCOLI & CHEESE OMELET
My Italian mother-in-law taught me to make this omelet years ago-she would make it for breakfast, lunch or dinner and eat it on Italian bread. This is one of my favorite ways to use up leftover broccoli. -Mary Licata, Pembroke Pines, Florida

SPANISH POTATO OMELET
There's nothing too fancy about this rustic Spanish style omelet, just lots of hearty goodness from crispy fried potatoes and onions. Chopped tomatoes and green onions lend even more flavor and color.

SOUTHWESTERN POTATO AND CELERY OMELET
This spicy omelet is much lighter than traditional cheese-packed Southwestern omelets. You don't need much oil to pan-fry this small amount of finely diced potato, and a little cheese goes a long way.

Steps:
- Heat 2 teaspoons of the oil over medium-high heat in an 8-inch omelet pan and add the celery. Cook 1 minute, until it begins to soften, and add the potatoes. Add salt and pepper to taste and cook, stirring often, until potatoes are lightly browned and just about tender, about 6 minutes. Stir in the chili and continue to cook, stirring, until the potato is tender, another 2 or 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
- Break the eggs into another bowl and beat with a fork or a whisk until they are frothy. Whisk in the milk, chives, cilantro, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Return the omelet pan to medium-high heat. Add the remaining teaspoon of olive oil. Hold your hand an inch or two above the pan, and when it feels hot, pour the eggs into the middle of the pan, scraping every last bit into the pan with a rubber spatula. 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, sprinkle the potato mixture down the middle of the "pancake" and top with the Monterey Jack, then jerk the pan quickly away from you then back toward you so that the omelet folds over on itself. If you don't like your omelet runny in the middle (I do), jerk the pan again so that the omelet folds over once more. Cook for a minute or two longer. Tilt the pan and roll the omelet out onto a plate.

Steps:
- In a 12-inch non-stick skillet cook the bell peppers, the onion, and the mushrooms with salt and black pepper to taste in 2 tablespoons of the oil over moderately low heat, stirring, for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and all the liquid the mushrooms give off is evaporated. In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, the potatoes, the Parmesan, the parsley, and salt and black pepper to taste until the mixture is combined well and stir in the vegetable mixture. In the skillet heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over moderate heat until it is hot but not smoking, pour in the egg mixture, and bake the omelet in the middle of a preheated 325°F. oven for 20 to 30 minutes, or until it is set. (If the skillet handle is plastic, wrap it in a double thickness of foil.) Cut the omelet into wedges and serve it warm.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh potatoes and broccoli will give your omelet the best flavor and texture.
- Don't overcook the potatoes and broccoli: They should be tender, but still have a little bit of crunch.
- Use a good quality cheese: A sharp cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese will give your omelet a rich, flavorful taste.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you try to cook too much omelet at once, it will not cook evenly.
- 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 rush it, or you will end up with a runny omelet.
Conclusion:
A potato and broccoli omelet is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is packed with protein, vegetables, and healthy fats. This omelet is also a great way to use up leftover potatoes and broccoli. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this potato and broccoli omelet a try.
