Fab Food: Skinny Omelette Recipe

Friday, March 28th, 2008 | Recipes

I absolutely love eggs. I could eat them everyday. Probably because you can’t really get bored with them when there are so many different ways to prepare them. Omelettes are probably the most fun because you can add lots of yummy things into them. Green peppers, mushrooms… the options are endless.

With this recipe we’ll be preparing a large, “skinny” omelette (by spreading it thin) then using it to make a veggie wrap with feta cheese. Yum! Feel free to omit an ingredient or be creative by adding your own tasty components.

Skinny Omelette

Ingredients

2 large (preferably organic) eggs
a tiny pinch of fine grain sea salt
a few tablespoons of chopped chives
a dollop of pesto
a bit of goat cheese or feta
a small handful of mixed salad greens

Preparation

Using a fork, beat the eggs in a small bowl and add a pinch of salt. Beat well, until the eggs are mostly uniform in color - they seem to run around the pan more evenly when there aren’t huge patches of yolk vs. whites.

In a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat pour the egg mixture. Give the mixture a good swirl so that they spread out thinly across the entire pan. Sprinkle the eggs with some of the chives and let them set, this happens quickly depending on the heat of your pan - 15 seconds to one minute. Run a spatula underneath the omelette and slide it out of the pan (flat) onto a countertop, large cutting board or cookie sheet. Do this with confidence (or practice). Spread the pesto across the surface of the omelette (if you have a thick pesto, thin it a bit with water to make it easily spreadable), and then sprinkle with the cheese and salad greens. Starting with one end, roll the omelette away from you. Cut in half on a deep diagonal. Season with a bit more salt if needed and serve garnished with a few chopped chives.

Serves one or two. Lovely!

MMM. MMM. MMM.

That sounds good, especially because you can use Feta cheese for it. I love Feta. I also love chives and eggs. My mom used to grow chives in her garden, and I would pick them and eat them.
