CREAMY GOAT CHEESE PESTO OMELET (WW 10 POINTSPLUS)



Creamy Goat Cheese Pesto Omelet (Ww 10 Pointsplus) image

Based on a recipe from John La Puma, M.D.'s cookbook, ChefMD's Big Book of Culinary Medicine. I use whole eggs since I believe the entire egg is good for you. DH says this recipe is like something you'd get at a fancy restaurant -- it's delicious! This is 10 PointsPlus (Weight Watchers) for each serving. Feta cheese may replace the goat cheese, and peas may replace the edammame. Tip: try different types of pesto in this dish: sundried tomato, cilantro, even arugula.

Time 15m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup edamame, frozen shelled (organic preferred)
4 large organic egg whites
1/2 cup organic fat-free cottage cheese (Horizon or Friendship brand)
1/4 cup goat cheese, crumbled
1 1/2 tablespoons prepared basil pesto
1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
4 slices whole- wheat bread, toasted
organic fruit preserves (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat a large nonstick skillet coated lightly with cooking spray over medium heat until hot. Add the edammame and cook until beginning to brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • In medium bowl beat together the egg whites and cottage cheese; add to the skillet and stir in the edammame. Continue to cook without stirring for 2 minutes or until set on bottom. Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelet to allow the uncooked portion of eggs to settle to the bottom and edges and set. Continue cooking for 2 minutes or until the center is almost set.
  • Combine the goat cheese and pesto; spoon the mixture down the center of the omelet. Using a large spatula, fold half of the omelet over the filling.
  • Reduce heat to low; cook for 2 minutes or until the cheese melts and the center is set.
  • Use the large spatula to cut the omelet in half; transfer to serving dishes and top with basil.
  • Serve with toast, and, if desired, preserves.

SUN-DRIED TOMATO AND GOAT CHEESE OMELET



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.

Categories     breakfast, for one, lunch, main course

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.
