Best 4 Fresh Corn Omelet Recipes

PUFFY CORN OMELET

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
• Add corn to a 4-quart pot of boiling salted water , then remove from heat and let stand, covered, 10 minutes. Drain and, when cool enough to handle, cut kernels from cobs with a sharp knife into a bowl, then scrape cobs over bowl to extract "milk."
• Melt butter in a 10-inch ovenproof nonstick skillet (preferably lightweight) and remove skillet from heat, then transfer 3 tablespoons melted butter to bowl with corn (leaving remaining butter in skillet to cool). Toss corn to coat and stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.
• Whisk egg yolks with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl until combined. Beat whites with a pinch of salt in another bowl using an electric mixer at medium speed until they just hold stiff peaks. Fold one third of whites into yolks to lighten, then fold in remaining whites gently but thoroughly. Gently fold in corn mixture.
• Spoon mixture into skillet and bake until pale golden and set, 10 to 12 minutes. Loosen omelet with a heatproof rubber spatula and slide onto a plate. Serve sprinkled with chives.
• Grilling Procedure
• If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill, then light charcoal. When charcoal turns grayish white (about 15 minutes from lighting), hold your hand 5 inches above grill rack to determine heat for charcoal as follows:
• Hot: When you can hold your hand there for 1 to 2 seconds
• Medium-hot: 3 to 4 seconds
• Low: 5 to 6 seconds
• If using a gas grill, preheat burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then, if necessary, reduce to heat specified in recipe.

SWEETCORN OMELETTE

Steps:

• Add 1 teaspoon of oil to a frying pan and quickly saute the tomatoes and red pepper for 2 minutes, then remove from the pan and set aside.
• Whisk together the eggs, milk and paprika.
• Add another teaspoon of oil to the pan to heat then pour in the egg mixture, tilt the pan so the mixture spreads out evenly and cook for 1 minute or so (until the egg mixture starts to hold together).
• Place the sweetcorn, spinach and sauteed vegetables on top of the egg and continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes.
• Serve up and enjoy!

CREAMED CORN OMELET

Steps:

• Cook bacon, sausage or chorizo and crumble. Sauté onion, jalapeno and garlic until onion is translucent.
• Do not over cook.
• In a bowl, beat the eggs lightly.
• Add to the creamed corn and stir till it is mixed.
• Add half the cheese to the mixture.
• Stir again.
• Add the meat and stir again.
• Melt butter in ovenproof non-stick skillet. Pour the mixture into the skillet and cook on top of stove on low heat for 4 or 5 minutes.
• When the edges start to curl a little bit, remove from heat.
• Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top. Dust the chili powder over the cheese.
• Place in a 375 degree oven until top is bubbly and center is no longer wiggly.
• Let cool 5 minutes.
• Cut in pie shaped pieces.

FRESH HERBS OMELET

Steps:

• Break 2 eggs into a bowl and beat with a fork or a whisk until frothy. Add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste (about 1/8 teaspoon salt), and 2 teaspoons milk. Whisk half the herbs into the eggs and mix well.
• Heat an 8-inch nonstick omelet pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 teaspoons of the olive oil. When the oil feels hot when you hold your hand above it, pour in the eggs, scraping every last bit into the pan. 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, jerk the pan quickly away from you then back towards you so that the omelet folds over on itself. Tilt the pan and roll out onto a plate. Repeat with the remaining eggs and herbs, and serve.
