Provided by Food Network

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, sliced
4 (1 to 1 1/2-inch thick) slices Italian bread)
6 eggs
3 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley, plus more for garnish (optional)
Salt and freshly ground pepper
4 to 6 thick slices ripe tomato
1 small avocado, peeled and sliced
6 to 8 basil leaves, chopped, plus more for garnsih (optional)
Grated provolone cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler or oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of the olive oil with garlic, and let sit for 10 minutes. Brush 1 side of the bread with the seasoned oil, and put it under the broiler until lightly browned, 2 or 3 minutes. Set the bread aside and leave the broiler on. Whisk the eggs with the parsley and salt and pepper to taste. Heat an 8 to 10-inch skillet over medium heat, and add 1 tablespoon of oil, swirling the pant to coat the bottom. Pour in half the egg mixture. Use a spatula to push the cooked egg toward center, tilting the pan in a circular motion so that the uncooked egg flows to the outside. When the eggs are no longer runny, remove the omelet from the heat and arrange half the tomato, avocado, and basil on top. Put under the broiler until the eggs are cooked and the vegetables are warm, about 2 minutes. Using a spatula fold the omelet in half, sprinkle it with cheese if you wish and then fold it in quarters. Cover it to keep, and cook the second omelet in the same way. Arrange the grilled bread on 2 plates and put the omelets on top. Garnish with basil or parsley if you choose. Serve immediately.

Categories     Eggs

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb green tomatoes, sliced 1/2 inch thick
cornmeal or flour
light olive oil or butter
6 large eggs
3 Tbsp chopped scallions
2 Tbsp fresh basil leaves, chopped
salt
freshly ground black pepper
basil leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Dredge the tomatoes in the cornmeal or flour.
  • 2. Heat enough oil in a 10-inch non-stick pan to cover the surface.
  • 3. Fry the tomatoes briefly on each side until they are lightly colored.
  • 4. Don\\\'t let them get soft.
  • 5. While the tomatoes are frying, lightly beat the eggs with the scallions and basil.
  • 6. Season with salt and pepper.
  • 7. Pour them over the tomatoes.
  • 8. Let the eggs sit for about a minute, then give the pan a shake to loosen the bottom.
  • 9. Cook over medium-low heat until the eggs are nicely colored on the bottom, then slide the omelet onto a large plate.
  • 10. Place the pan over the plate, invert it and return to the heat to cook the other side.
  • 11. When done, turn the omelet out onto a serving plate and serve sliced in wedges and garnished with fresh sprigs of the herb you have used.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe tomatoes. This will give your omelet the best flavor.
  • Choose a good quality cheese. A sharp cheddar or Gruyère will add a lot of flavor to your omelet.
  • Don't overcook the eggs. Overcooked eggs will be tough and rubbery.
  • Add your favorite toppings. Some popular options include bacon, ham, sausage, or vegetables.
  • Serve immediately. An omelet is best enjoyed when it is hot and fresh out of the pan.
