Feta Parmesan Chive Omelette Recipes

FETA, PARMESAN & CHIVE OMELETTE

Steps:

• Crack eggs into a bowl, add chives and season with salt and pepper.
• Use a fork to whisk until well combined.
• Melt butter in a small non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
• Add the egg mixture and tilt the pan until it covers the base. As the omelette begins to set, lift the edge so the uncooked egg mixture can run underneath.
• Sprinkle feta and parmesan over half the omelette and cook for 2-3 minutes or until it is just set.
• Fold in half and slide onto a plate. Serve immediately with salad leaves.

ANTONI POROWSKI'S FRENCH OMELET WITH CHEESE AND CHIVES

Steps:

• Whisk eggs in a medium bowl until well combined and smooth, taking care not to whip in too much air. The point is to combine the yolks and whites very well.
• In a small nonstick skillet over medium-low, heat 1 tablespoon butter until the butter has melted and just begins to foam.
• Pour in the eggs. Working quickly with one hand, gently move the pan in a circular motion over the heat (this will keep the eggs moving and evenly cooking). With your other hand, use a small rubber spatula (or chopsticks) to stir the eggs in a loose figure-eight pattern, creating small curds and scraping down the side of the skillet as you go. Continue until the eggs are mostly cooked through but just a little runny on top, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the heat and sprinkle the omelet with a pinch of salt, then sprinkle the cheese down the center. Gently shake the pan so that the omelet shifts toward the side of the pan opposite the handle and up the side of the pan. The part of the omelet above the edge of the pan should fold back over on itself - use your rubber spatula to give it a hand, if it doesn't.
• Slide 1 tablespoon of butter underneath the omelet that's still in the pan. (This will help keep the omelet tender and soft - and it tastes really good.)
• Using the spatula, roll up the omelet, then flip it seam-side down onto a warm serving plate. Slide the remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter across the top, then sprinkle with a pinch each of salt and pepper and the chives. Serve hot.

CHEESE AND CHIVE OMELET

Steps:

• Whisk together the eggs, egg whites, chives, salt and pepper (I used a lot of pepper) in a bowl.
• In a large skillet melt butter over medium heat.
• Add egg mixture to pan, cooking for a few minutes until almost set, lifting sides so egg mixture can run under.
• Grate (or sprinkle) cheese over top of eggs (I grated it right over the eggs) and cook a few more minutes until cheese melts.
• Fold 1/3 of the omelet over the center and then the other side over the center.
• Turn omelet onto plate and cut in half or thirds.

SPINACH AND FETA OMELET (LOW CARB)

Steps:

• Crack the eggs into a bowl, add the sea salt and chopped onions and blend together with a wire whisk.
• Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a frying pan, and then add the egg mixture, tipping the pan to make sure the egg mixture covers the bottom of the pan.
• Cook on medium heat, until the underside is lightly browned, and then add the spinach and the crumbled feta cheese.
• Lift one side of the omelet with a spatula and fold it in half.
• Reduce the heat, and cook until the inside of the omelet is cooked (less than a minute or so).
• Use a spatula to slide the omelet onto a plate and serve!

FETA PEPPER OMELETS FOR 2

Steps:

• In medium bowl, wisk together eggs, seasoning salt, and tobasco. Set aside.
• Heat olive oil over medium high heat in large skillet. Sautee the bell peppers and red onion slices about 10 minutes, or until desired. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from pan and set aside.
• In same skillet, add egg mixture over a medium heat. Let eggs set completely on the bottom, leaving it just a little runny on the uncooked top.
• Using two spatulas if need be, flip the set egg onto the second side and immediately add half of the feta cheese on one side of the omelet.
• Place onions and bell peppers on top. Place cheddar cheese on top of peppers and onions.
• Fold empty side of the omelet over the veggies and cheese and top the top of the fully cooked omelet with the remaining feta cheese.

ASPARAGUS AND PARMESAN OMELET

Steps:

• Steam the asparagus until tender, about 5 minutes. Refresh with cold water, and pat dry. Cut into 1/2-inch slices and set aside.
• Break 2 eggs into a bowl and beat with a fork or a whisk until frothy. Add salt and pepper to taste (about 1/8 teaspoon salt) and 2 teaspoons milk. Whisk 2 teaspoons of the Parmesan and 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, sprinkle half the asparagus down the middle of the eggs, then jerk the pan quickly away from you then back towards you so that the omelet folds over on 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 out onto a plate. Repeat with the remaining eggs, Parmesan herbs, and asparagus, and serve.

FRITTATA WITH PEAS, HERBS AND FETA OR PARMESAN

Steps:

• Beat the eggs and milk in a bowl with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the peas, chopped herbs, and Parmesan or feta.
• Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a heavy, 8-inch nonstick omelet pan. Drop a bit of egg into the pan and if it sizzles and cooks at once, the pan is ready. Pour in the egg mixture, scraping in every last bit with a heat-proof rubber spatula. Swirl the pan to distribute the eggs and filling evenly over the surface. Shake the pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up the edges of the frittata with the spatula in your other hand, to let the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking. Once a few layers of egg have cooked during the first couple of minutes of cooking, turn the heat down to low, cover and cook 7 to 10 minutes, until the frittata is puffed and just about set. From time to time remove the lid and loosen the bottom of the omelet with a wooden or heat-proof rubber spatula, tilting the pan, so that the bottom doesn't burn. It will however turn golden.
• If the frittata is still runny on the top, wearing oven mitts, slide the frittata out onto a plate or even better, a saucepan lid that has a handle, reverse the pan over the plate or lid, and holding the two together, flip the plate or lid so that the frittata goes back into the pan on its not-quite-cooked side. Finish for no longer than a minute, then reverse onto a platter. Allow to cool to room temperature, and serve, or chill. Cut into 4 wedges to serve. The wedges pack well and are very portable.
