GREEN OMELETTE

When I made this, the original title of the recipe was Eat Your Greens Omelette. I gave one serving to my taste tester and he took one look at it and said "This is a green egg!" This is how it got its official name. There is some work involved but it is worth it in the end. For sautéing the vegetables I used olive oil, but you can use any kind of oil you like.

3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons margarine

Steps:

  • Sauté the shallots and spinach for about 5 minutes. Set aside in a small bowl and then sauté the green pepper and broccoli for 5 minutes. (I did it this way, because it was easier than doing one at a time.).
  • In a small break 3 eggs and mix very well with a fork. Melt the butter or margarine in a frying pan, on medium high heat and then add the eggs.
  • Very quickly add two tbsp spinach, some pine nuts (the amount is up to you depending on how much you or your loved ones like pine nuts), 2 tsp shallot, two tbsp green pepper, 2 tbsp broccoli. Sprinkle Gouda cheese over the egg and vegetables, and let set for about 3-4 minutes.
  • Flip over half the omelette and continue to cook for another 2 minutes. Repeat two more times.

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 1/2 tsp dried basil
1 tsp red chili flakes
1 cup baby spinach
1 tbsp margarine
1 small onion, sliced
3 egg whites (yolks discarded)
2 eggs, whole
2 tbsp olive oil

Steps:

  • In a small skillet with lid, over medium-low heat, heat olive oil. Add garlic, basil, and chili flakes, cook for 3 minutes. Add baby spinach, reduce heat to low, cover and cook until spinach is wilted. Transfer mixture to food processor (or high-sided bowl if using hand mixer) and purée. Set aside and allow to cool slightly. In same skillet, add margarine. When melted, add onion. Cook over low heat, covered, to carmelize onions, stirring occassionally. Meanwhile, add 3 egg whites and 2 whole eggs to a medium high-sided bowl. Beat eggs with handheld mixer on high speed until eggs are pale, frothy, and have tripled in volume, about 2 minutes. Slowly add spinach puree mixture and continue to beat until incorporated into eggs. Swirl 2 tbsp olive oil in a non stick skillet over medium heat to coat sides. Pour in egg mixture and let sit until it begins to set on bottom of skillet, about 20 seconds. Vigorously shake skillet back and forth to distribute the eggs, knocking them off the edge of the skillet; continue shaking over medium-high heat for about a minute and a half. Using a flick of the wrist, or a rubber spatula, flip the omelette and cook until set on the other side, about 30 seconds. Top with carmelized onions, and other toppings as desired (goat cheese goes very well with the carmelized onions). Slide omelette onto a plate, folding in half using fingers or spatula as a guide. Makes 1 large omelette, perfect for sharing.

Tips:

  • Prep Your Greens: Before cooking, wash and chop your greens thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. You can use a variety of greens in your omelet, such as spinach, kale, or Swiss chard. If using heartier greens like kale or collard greens, you may want to blanch them briefly in boiling water to soften them before adding them to the omelet.
  • Choose Your Cheese Wisely: The type of cheese you use can greatly impact the flavor and texture of your omelet. For a classic green omelet, consider using a mild-flavored cheese like mozzarella or cheddar. If you prefer a more robust flavor, try using a sharp cheddar, Parmesan, or goat cheese.
  • Don't Overcook Your Omelet: Omelets are best when they are cooked quickly over medium heat. Overcooking can result in a dry, rubbery omelet. Keep a close eye on your omelet as it cooks and remove it from the heat as soon as it is set.
  • Add Your Favorite Toppings: Once your omelet is cooked, you can add your favorite toppings. Some popular options include salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or hot sauce. You can also add cooked meat, vegetables, or cheese.

Conclusion:

With its vibrant color, delicious taste, and versatility, the green omelet is a dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. By following these simple tips, you can create a perfect green omelet that is sure to please everyone at the table.
