HERBED CREAM CHEESE OMELET



Herbed Cream Cheese Omelet image

Somehow, when cream cheese is mixed with herbs and melted in an omelet, it acquires a wonderful taste that you wouldn't associate with cream cheese.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 ounces cream cheese, softened
½ cup fresh cilantro leaves
salt and pepper to taste
3 tablespoons butter
8 eggs

Steps:

  • Mix the cream cheese with the cilantro in a bowl, adding salt and pepper to taste.
  • Heat one-quarter of the butter in a well-seasoned omelet pan or 8 inch non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. When the butter is hot and bubbling, swirl it around in the pan.
  • Just before the butter begins to brown, beat 2 of the eggs and pour into pan. Lower the heat.
  • After 10 seconds or so, the omelet will coagulate. Push the omelet to one side of the pan with a spoon or spatula, and let the raw egg run over the cleared skillet. Repeat this one more time, then take the skillet off the heat.
  • Dab one quarter of the herbed cream cheese along the middle of the omelet from one side to the other. Season the omelet with additional salt and pepper to taste. If it has not completely set, place the pan over medium heat for a half minute longer. When the omelet is set, slide it from the pan onto a plate so that the omelet rolls up and the herbed cream cheese runs along the length of the roll. Serve it right away. Make three more omelets the same way, making sure the pan and butter get good and hot before adding the beaten eggs. Serve each one as soon as it is cooked.

OMELETTE WITH HERBS



Omelette With Herbs image

A great way to use garden herbs. This is adaptable to whatever herbs you have in your garden. When I made it mostly chives and tarragon because that is what I had the most of, but I think this will be good with oregano or other fresh herbs too. The original recipe didn't use any cheese, but I added two slices of deli Swiss cheese (about 1/4 cup). Recipe source: Bon Appetit (Bon Appetit 1991)

Time 15m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 eggs
4 teaspoons water
salt
pepper
2 teaspoons parsley, chopped
2 teaspoons chives, chopped
2 teaspoons tarragon, chopped
2 teaspoons thyme, chopped
4 teaspoons butter
2 slices swiss cheese, torn in pieces (1/4 cup shredded cheese)
chives, to garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl whisk eggs and water together and then season with salt and pepper.
  • Stir in herbs (parsley - thyme or your favorites).
  • *Note: In the original directions, an omlet pan was used using only half of the egg mixture and half of the butter at a time -- making two complete omlets seperately, rather than the way I indicated in the direction below.
  • In a skillet, melt the butter over medium high heat and add the egg mixture to pan.
  • If using cheese, add cheese on top of eggs.
  • Let eggs set around edges and then lift edges and tilt pan, so uncooked eggs will go under the cooked eggs.
  • Cook until eggs are almost set (1 -2 minutes) and then using a spatula, roll 1/3 of omlet to center.
  • Tilt pan and slide omlet onto plate.
  • Garnish with chives, if desired.

Provided by Ina Garten

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 tablespoon medium chopped fresh Italian parsley
1/2 tablespoon medium chopped fresh chervil
3/4 tablespoon thin sliced fresh chives
1/2 teaspoon thin sliced fresh tarragon
2 extra-large eggs
2 tablespoons milk
Pinch kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 ounces plain goat cheese
2 ounces roasted red peppers, julienned

Steps:

  • To make the Fines Herbs, combine the parsley, chervil, chives and tarragon in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Break the eggs into a small bowl, and then add the milk, 2 tablespoons Fines Herbs, salt and pepper and whisk with a fork.
  • Preheat an 8-inch nonstick saute pan over medium hot heat and swirl the olive oil into the pan. Pour in the egg mixture and swirl it in the pan. For a few seconds, gently stir the egg mixture with a heat resistant rubber spatula (as if you were going to make scrambled eggs) and then swirl the eggs in the pan to make a nice round appearance. Reduce the heat to avoid any color or scorching. Continue cooking for about 1 minute. The eggs will be set on the bottom, but slightly liquid on top.
  • Flip the omelet, and remove it from the heat. Crumble the goat cheese over the center of the omelet and top it off with the roasted peppers. Tri-fold the omelet and plate immediately.

GOAT CHEESE OMELET WITH MIXED HERBS, LYONNAISE POTATOES, GLAZED HAM AND TEXAS TOAST



Goat Cheese Omelet with Mixed Herbs, Lyonnaise Potatoes, Glazed Ham and Texas Toast image

Provided by Carla Hall

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 1 omelet

Number Of Ingredients 20

3 large eggs
1 tablespoon heavy cream
1 tablespoon minced mixed fresh herbs, such as chives, thyme leaves, flat-leaf parsley leaves and tarragon leaves
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Pinch kosher salt
2 tablespoons crumbled goat cheese or feta or shredded Cheddar or Gruyère
Lyonnaise Potatoes, recipe follows
Ham and Toast, recipe follows
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium red potatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds), cut into 1/2-inch slices
1 medium onion, halved and thinly sliced
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 to 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
Vegetable oil, for cooking
1 ham steak, halved lengthwise
2 slices Texas toast
Unsalted butter, for the toast

Steps:

  • In a 4-cup liquid measuring cup or large bowl with a spout, gently whisk the eggs with the heavy cream until blended. Whisk in the herbs.
  • Heat an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the butter to the pan and swirl to coat the bottom and sides. Stir the egg mixture again, then pour into the pan. Immediately start stirring with a rubber spatula and scraping around the edges of the pan without stopping. Add the salt. As soon as the eggs are just scrambled but still quite wet, spread the eggs in an even layer on the bottom of the pan. Add the cheese in a line down the eggs, perpendicular to the pan handle. Tilt the pan at a 45-degree angle to your serving plate and start nudging the edge of the egg closest to you to roll the top third of the egg over the filling in the center. Keep nudging to roll again into a three-fold omelet. The final roll should flip the omelet out of the pan and onto your plate.
  • Mix the paprika, cayenne and 1 teaspoon salt together in a small bowl. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes and a pinch of salt; cook, tossing about every 5 minutes, until evenly golden brown, about 15 minutes total. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown and tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the paprika mixture and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Combine the maple syrup and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl. Preheat a flat top grill or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat and brush with oil. Sear the ham until golden, flipping halfway through, 2 minutes per side. Glaze the ham with the maple syrup mixture with a heatproof brush and cook 1 minute longer.
  • Add the toast to the flat top and toast 1 to 2 minutes per side. Spread with butter and cut in half diagonally.
