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.

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.

FOOLPROOF OPEN-FACED GOAT CHEESE, CHOPPED SPINACH AND SUN-DRIED TOMATO OMELET



Foolproof Open-Faced Goat Cheese, Chopped Spinach and Sun-Dried Tomato Omelet image

The goat cheese melts into the omelet and makes this a creamy vegetarian delight. Cooking up the spinach is no big deal here because your eggs go right on top in the same pan so there's hardly any extra work.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 big handfuls baby spinach
2 tablespoons butter
8 pieces sun-dried tomato packed in oil, drained and finely chopped
2 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 large eggs
2 ounces goat cheese (1/2 a small log), cut into thin slices

Steps:

  • Wash and dry the spinach then chop it coarsely.
  • Heat the butter in a large nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Stir in the sun-dried tomato and scallion and cook, stirring, until the scallion is wilted, about 2 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted and the water it gives off is evaporated, about 4 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, beat the eggs with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Lower the heat to medium. Pour in the eggs and let them sit a few seconds until they start to set around the edges. Using a plastic spatula push a piece of the set edge gently toward the center. Tilt the pan and let some of the unset egg from the top fill the little gap you just made. Keep going around the edge of the pan like this, until there is no more unset egg on top.
  • Scatter the goat cheese slices over the top of the omelet. Put the skillet under the broiler and leave the oven door open, cook just until the top of the omelet is set and puffed, about 2 minutes.
