Time 35m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon good olive oil
3 slices thick-cut bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup (1-inch-diced) unpeeled Yukon Gold potatoes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
5 extra-large eggs
3 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon fresh chopped chives

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Heat the olive oil in a 10-inch ovenproof omelet pan over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook for 3 to 5 minutes over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is browned but not crisp. Take the bacon out of the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside on a plate.
  • Place the potatoes in the pan and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Continue to cook over medium-low heat for 8 to 10 minutes, until very tender and browned, tossing occasionally to brown evenly. Remove with a slotted spoon to the same plate with the bacon.

Add the butter, lower the heat to low, and pour the eggs into the hot pan. Sprinkle the bacon, potatoes, and chives evenly over the top and place the pan in the oven for about 8 minutes, just until the eggs are set. Slide onto a plate, divide in half, and serve hot.

SOUTHWESTERN POTATO AND CELERY OMELET



Southwestern Potato and Celery Omelet image

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.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     breakfast, for one, main course

Time 15m

Yield 1 serving.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 stalk celery, cut in small dice
1 small potato (1 1/2 ounces), cut in 1/4-inch dice
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 serrano pepper, minced (seeded if desired)
2 eggs
1 tablespoon low-fat milk
1 tablespoon finely chopped chives
1 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro
1/2 ounce (1 tablespoon) grated Monterey Jack

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.

BAKED MASHED POTATO AND VEGETABLE OMELET



Baked Mashed Potato and Vegetable Omelet image

Categories     Egg     Potato     Breakfast     Brunch     Bake     Vegetarian     Gourmet     Sugar Conscious     Pescatarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added     Kosher

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 red bell pepper, chopped fine
1 green bell pepper, chopped fine
1 cup finely chopped onion
1 1/2 cups sliced mushrooms
4 tablespoons olive oil
8 large eggs
3 cups mashed cooked russet (baking) potatoes (about 2 pounds)
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley leaves

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.
