Sun-Dried Tomato and Goat Cheese Omelet image

Sometimes the filling for my omelet is determined by something I find in my pantry. I don't recall what led me to buy the jar of sun-dried tomatoes that went into this one, but they were very much at home in an omelet.

Time 15m

Yield 1 serving.

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 eggs
1 tablespoon low-fat milk
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 small garlic clove
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped oil-packed sun dried tomatoes
1/2 ounce crumbled goat cheese (about 2 tablespoons)
A few leaves of fresh basil, cut in thin strips

Steps:

  • Break the eggs into a bowl and beat with a fork or a whisk until they are frothy. Whisk in the milk, salt, pepper and garlic.
  • Heat an 8-inch nonstick omelet pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 teaspoons 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 sun-dried tomatoes, cheese and basil over the middle of the egg "pancake," then jerk the pan quickly away from you then back toward you so that the omelet folds over onto 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, and serve.

A bit bland for my taste, but adding some extra salt and pepper did the trick.

Not a fan of sun-dried tomatoes, so I substituted them with fresh tomatoes. Still turned out great!

The flavors were a bit too strong for my taste, but overall it was a solid omelet.

This omelet was a delightful burst of flavors! The sun-dried tomatoes added a tangy sweetness, while the goat cheese brought a creamy richness. It was perfectly cooked, with a fluffy interior and a lightly browned exterior. An absolute treat!
