So... I'm looking for some tasty omelette recipes.... what's your favorite?
Here's my latest fav based on one I found on
FoodNetwork (lots of tasty recipes there). Here's the original recipe (
Asparagus, Gruyere, and Tarragon Souffleed Omelet), and if you have the time to make it -- its DEVINE, but if you're really hungry and just want it quick, here's my simplified version:
* 6 stalks of asparagus
* red onion, diced (however much you want)
* 3 egg whites + 1 egg (less cholestorol that way
)
* gruyere cheese, a handful, shredded
* chopped fresh tarragon (can substitute with dried fennell)
* salt and pepper
Trim the asparagus, then break into 2-3 inch pieces. Quickly boil it for 3-5 minutes, til just cooked, drain and set aside.
Mix up the eggs. Put the skillet on a medium-high heat. Put a bit of oil in your omelette skillet. Pour in the eggs and add the onion, asparagus, salt and pepper. Cook the omelette, add the cheese and tarragon or fennell. Fold it. Finish cooking it. Serve it. Eat it.
If you want to make the omelette even better -- add some sauteed shrimp -- its REALLY good, especially in the original recipe.
