Yield Makes 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

Muffins:
Cooking spray or sunflower oil, for greasing
8 free-range eggs
8 sun-dried tomatoes, drained well and roughly chopped
Large handful of baby spinach, roughly chopped (about 2 Tablespoons)
Good pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 cup feta cheese, roughly broken into bite-sized pieces
A few fresh basil leaves
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Salad:
1/2 cup arugula, watercress, or mixed salad leaves
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease 8 holes of a muffin tin with the spray or sunflower oil and set aside.
  • Put the eggs, tomato, spinach, nutmeg and salt (just a little bit as the feta is very salty) and pepper into a large jug and whisk together until combined. Divide the mixture evenly among the 8 muffin holes and then sprinkle over the feta cheese.
  • Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes or until the muffins have risen slightly, are firm to the touch and lightly golden. Then, remove from the oven and leave to cool a little.
  • Place the salad leaves on a large serving plate. Whisk the oil and vinegar together in a small bowl or mug with a little salt and pepper and pour over the leaves.
  • Using a small, sharp knife, loosen the edges of each muffin from the tin and carefully pop them out.
  • Arrange them on top of the salad leaves. Rip up the basil leaves, scatter them over the top, and serve.

FRESH HERBS OMELET



Fresh Herbs Omelet image

This is called a "fines herbes" omelet in France, and usually contains finely minced parsley and chives, sometimes tarragon or chervil as well. The herbs should be sweet ones rather than bitter or sharp; basil, mint, and dill would also work. This is a classic French rolled omelet, served hot, right out of the pan, an utterly satisfying quick meal. The classic French omelet is made with butter, but in the Mediterranean a healthier version is made with olive oil. Use a nonstick pan for this.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Time 10m

Yield 2 rolled omelets, serving 2

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 large or extra-large eggs
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon milk
3 tablespoons minced chopped herbs, such as parsley, dill, chives, tarragon, chervil, basil, mint (use no more than 3)
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil

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.

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
6 spears fresh asparagus, trimmed and chopped
½ red bell pepper, chopped
½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
½ cup chopped fresh spinach
½ teaspoon minced garlic
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried basil
salt to taste
2 tablespoons butter
6 large eggs
¼ cup whole milk
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir asparagus and red bell pepper until the vegetables start to soften, about 3 minutes. Stir in cherry tomatoes, spinach, garlic, oregano, basil, and salt and continue cooking until tomatoes are soft and spinach has cooked down, another 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer vegetables to a plate.
  • Melt butter in clean skillet over medium heat. Whisk eggs and milk in a bowl and pour into hot butter, swirling skillet to cover entire bottom with egg mixture. Pull up an edge of the omelet with a spatula and tilt pan to allow unset egg to run underneath and cook; continue around pan, lifting omelet edge and tilting pan, until all the egg mixture is set. Sprinkle omelet with salt.
  • Spoon cooked asparagus mixture onto one side of the omelet and sprinkle with feta and Cheddar cheeses. Gently fold half the omelet over the vegetables and cheese and press edges lightly to seal in the filling. Cook until filling is hot and Cheddar cheese has melted, 1 to 2 more minutes. Cut in slices to serve.
