Chard And Cheddar Omelet Recipes

ITALIAN OMELET RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Preheat oven to 200 F.
• Place sun-dried tomatoes in a small bowl. Cover them completely with boiling water. Set aside for 10 minutes, or until you assemble the rest of your ingredients.
• When tomatoes have reconstituted, drain the liquid.
• Arrange the mozzarella cheese, basil, and Parmesan cheese in bowls or on plates near the stove for easy access.
• In a small bowl, beat 3 eggs together with 2 tablespoons milk.
• Heat a medium (10-inch) nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter and tilt pan to coat it completely with melted butter.
• When butter foams, add the egg mixture and use a rubber spatula to rapidly stir eggs in pan for a few seconds.
• Then shake pan to evenly distribute eggs, and let cook over medium-high heat until eggs are nearly set.
• Sprinkle about 1/4 cup mozzarella, 1 tablespoon basil, 1/4 cup tomatoes, and 1 teaspoon Parmesan cheese over one-half of the omelet. Season omelet lightly with salt and pepper.
• Run the rubber spatula lightly under the other half to make sure it's not stuck, then gently fold the egg mixture over the filling.
• Let cook another minute or two to let cheese melt, then slide the omelet out of the skillet onto a plate.
• Keep warm in a 200 F oven while you repeat the process to create additional omelets with the remaining ingredients. Serve omelets warm.

SWISS CHARD OMELETTE DINNER

Steps:

• In skillet, heat oil and garlic on medium heat.
• Add chopped chard. I use both the stalks and the leaves. Stalks when cooked taste something like celery. Leaves taste a lot like spinach.
• Chop and add remaining ingredients in order: onion, zucchini, mushrooms.
• Cover for just a couple minutes. When you start to see the mushrooms show signs of cooking, check the chard. When leaves are just wilted, put veggies on a plate.
• Return skillet to burner. Scramble egg and cheese together. I also add a little pepper.
• Place egg on top of veggies and serve immediately.

SWISS CHARD OMELETTE

Steps:

• Heat a medium-size pot with water and bring it to boil. In the meantime, wash swiss chard and slice the leaves and white stems (1-2 cm pieces). Add to boiling water and cook for 10 minutes.
• While the chard is cooking, heat oil in a medium-size pan. Chop the onion and garlic. Add them to the pan and cook over medium heat for 10 mins. Add salt and pepper.
• When the chard is ready, drain it in a colander in the sink and add then it to the pan. Toss with the onion and garlic for 2 minutes.
• Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them with a fork. Add chard-onion mixture into the eggs, mix them.
• Heat 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in the medium size pan. When it is hot add the egg mixture. Keep heat at medium-low (I like a juicy omelette) for about 8 minutes. Invert the omelette on a large plate and slide back into the pan and cook a few more minutes, until the eggs are set. Time will depend if you like it more or less cooked.
• Slide on to a plate and serve.

CHARD AND ONION OMELET (TROUCHIA

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a 10inch skillet. Add the onion and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until completely soft but not browned, about 15 minutes. Add the chard and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the moisture has cooked away and the chard is tender, about 15 minutes. Season well with salt and freshly ground pepper. Meanwhile, mash the garlic in a mortar with a few pinches of salt, then stir it into the eggs along with herbs. Combine the chardonion mixture with the eggs, stir in the Gruy re cheese and half the Parmesan.
• Preheat the broiler. Heat the remaining oil to the skillet and when it's hot, add the eggs. Slide the pan back and forth a few times to make sure the eggs are not sticking. Keep the heat at mediumhigh for about one minute, then turn it to low. Cook until the eggs are set but still a quite moist on top. Add the remaining cheese, slide the pan under the broiler and broil until browned.
• Serve the trouchia in the pan or slide it onto a serving dish and cut into wedges. The gratined top and the golden bottom are equally presentable.

GRANDE PIZZA OMELET

Steps:

• Preheat the oven broiler.
• Heat a 12-inch nonstick (oven-safe) over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil.
• Add onion to pan and season with salt. Saute onion for 2 minutes and add chopped tomato. Stir and cook 1 minute. Add Swiss chard and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes. Remove to plate and return the pan to medium-high heat.
• Add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Crack 1 dozen eggs into a bowl and add 1 teaspoon Sriracha. Whisk eggs together and pour into pan. Allow eggs to set a bit. Using a spatula, pull eggs away from sides of pan and allow raw egg to flow underneath. Cook until the eggs are almost fully set. Spread the chard over top. Sprinkle cheese on top and broil for minute, until cheese is melted and eggs are cooked through.

CHARD AND CHEDDAR OMELET

Steps:

• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in 8-inch-diameter nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add garlic; sauté until soft, about 2 minutes. Stir in chard, cover and cook until tender, about 4 minutes. Stir in hot sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to small bowl. Wipe skillet clean.
• Whisk eggs, 1/4 cup cheese, salt and pepper in medium bowl to blend. Melt 1/2 tablespoon butter in same skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of egg mixture and cook until eggs are just set in center, tilting pan and lifting edge of omelet with spatula to let uncooked portion flow underneath, about 2 minutes. Scatter half of chard mixture over half of omelet. Sprinkle 1/4 cup cheese over chard. Fold omelet over cheese; slide out onto plate. Repeat with remaining butter, egg mixture, chard and cheese.
