Fresh Start Power Omelette Recipes

SPAGHETTI OMELET

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the pasta, the beaten eggs, the black pepper, and the grated cheese. Mix well.
• In a 8 to 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium heat and swirl it around to make it coat the bottom of the pan.
• Add half the pasta and spread it evenly in the pan. Place the sliced cheese and salami on top, but don't put any cheese within 1/2 inch of the edge. Add the remaining pasta and spread it to make sure it covers the bottom pasta layer and the sliced cheese. Cook over medium heat for 5 to 8 minutes, or until the bottom browns.
• Place a plate on top of the pan and reverse the frittata so it falls on the plate. Slip the frittata back into the skillet and cook the other side for another 5 to 8 minutes, until it browns. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

MEXICAN OMELET

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• Cook bell peppers in olive oil on medium heat. Season generously with salt and pepper. Add onion and garlic. Stir in olives, then tomatoes, stirring constantly. Add serrano and potato. Reduce heat to low and add herbs.
• While vegetables are cooking, beat together egg whites, salt (to taste), and water, until mixture forms stiff, but not dry, peaks. Separately combine cream and yolks, and thoroughly fold into egg whites.
• Melt butter in a large, ovenproof pan over high heat. Pour out half of butter and reserve. Add 3/4 of egg mixture to pan, then add vegetables, distributed evenly. When underside is cooked (takes less than a minute), pour on remaining egg mixture. Place pan in broiler for 2 minutes.
• To serve, invert onto a heated serving platter and brush with reserved melted butter.

SOUFFLEED SPINACH OMELET

Steps:

• Wash the spinach and cut off the stems. Spin the excess water out. Drop the spinach into a large pot on the stove to wilt, about 3 minutes. (There will be enough water still clinging to the leaves to steam it.) When the spinach is cooked, drain, and plunge it into an ice-bath to seize the color. Remove the spinach and squeeze dry in a tea towel. Chop the spinach. Heat half the butter in a frying pan, and gently saute the shallot. Add the spinach, and season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. When hot, turn off the heat, and set aside. Put the yolks in a metal bowl and set over a pot of gently simmering water (make sure the water does not touch the bottom of the bowl.) Season the eggs with salt, and pepper, and whisk until thick and frothy. Remove the bowl from the heat. In a separate bowl, beat the whites to stiff peaks, and fold into the yolk mixture. Heat the remaining butter in a large frying pan for the omelet. Cook's Note: a no-stick pan will simplify your life. Pour the egg into the pan and cook until the bottom is set, and golden, and the top is still fluffy and soft, about 3 to 5 minutes. Scatter the spinach mixture all over the omelet, then the cheese. Cover the pan for a few minutes to soften the cheese. Uncover, and fold the omelet in half, and slide it onto a plate. Serve immediately.;

CHEF'S SPECIAL OMELET

PERFECT OMELETS

Steps:

• Have a serving plate ready. In a medium bowl, whisk eggs until frothy. Season with salt and pepper; whisk in scallions and/or herbs, if using.
• Heat butter in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high, tilting to coat pan; after foaming subsides, whisk eggs again, and add to skillet.
• Cook, stirring quickly with a heatproof rubber spatula, until eggs begin to thicken, about 30 seconds. With spatula, pull edges of omelet in toward center, tilting pan so uncooked eggs flow to edges of pan and underneath omelet. Cook until just set but still loose, 15 to 30 seconds (omelet will continue to cook once removed from heat).
• Sprinkle with filling. Using spatula, loosen omelet from skillet on all sides; shake pan to ensure it is completely released. Tilt pan toward serving plate; with spatula, working from side of skillet that's tilted up, fold 1/3 of omelet over the center.
• Simultaneously slide and roll omelet onto plate so that it folds over on itself again and lands seam side down. Brush or dab lightly with butter; serve immediately.
