REUBEN BRUNCH OMELET

Steps:

• Omelets will be prepared one at a time in omelet or similar pan, so it is a good idea to have oven barely warm to keep prepared omelets in while preparing others.
• Have corned beef sliced into thin slices, about 12 pieces if possible.
• Drain sauerkraut through strainer over bowl until very well drained.
• Discard liquid.
• Mince one gherkin and add to the thousand island dressing.
• Break eggs into bowl, add 1/2 cup water and caraway seeds (unless sauerkraut already has caraway in it).
• Beat eggs until thoroughly blended.
• Place omelet pan over medium heat.
• When hot, add 1 tablespoon solid margarine to pan and tilt to coat sides and bottom.
• Turn heat to medium-high.
• Pour in one quarter of eggs.
• Using wide spatula or fork, pull cooked eggs toward center, allowing uncooked part to flow to outside.
• While top is still moist and creamy, add 2 slices Swiss cheese to one side of omelet, top with 1/4 of the corned beef and then top with 1/4 cup sauerkraut.
• Fold other side over and immediately remove to serving plate.
• Keep in barely warm oven while preparing remaining 3 omelets.
• Wipe pan with paper towels between each omelet.
• To serve, top each with 1/4 of the dressing and serve one gherkin along side omelet.

SIMPLE OMELETTE

Steps:

• Use a fork to beat together the eggs, milk, salt and pepper in a medium bowl until blended but not foamy.
• Melt the butter over medium-high heat in a medium non-stick skillet.
• Swirl the butter around in the pan until it stops foaming.
• Pour in the eggs and reduce the heat to medium.
• As the mixture sets, lift the edges of the egg with a spatula and tilt the skillet so uncooked egg flows underneath. Do not stir.
• Continue cooking until the omelet is moist but not runny, about 3 minutes.
• If making a filled omelet, top it with your choice of filling.
• Use a large spatula to loosen the edge of the omelet and fold it in half.
• Slide it onto a plate, top with a few spoonfuls of salsa, if using, and serve.

THE MOMLETTE - HEALTHY WEEKEND OMELETTE

Steps:

• Prepare the hashbrown potatoes by cooking them in a large fry pan on medium heat, using most of the oil.
• (While the potatoes cook) in a separate small fry pan lightly brushed with oil, saute the onions and peppers until the onions are transparent.
• Prepare the Veggie Breakfast Bacon Strips as directed (I microwave them for just under 2 minutes as I like my strips crisp and just starting to get too dark).
• Crumble the 'bacon'.
• Beat the eggs with the milk.
• When they are cooked, mix the hash browns, onions and peppers and crumbled 'bacon' together (I put them in a bowl so I can use the large frypan for cooking the momlettes).
• Brush the large frypan with oil and pour half of the egg mixture into the pan, so it is covered with egg.
• Place on medium low heat and cook until firm.
• If the top of the egg seems to be cooking too slowly, you can either cover the pan to let it steam, or turn the egg over, if the bottom is firm enough.
• Sprinkle 1/8 C of the cheese on the egg.
• Spoon half of the potato, onion, pepper, 'bacon' mixture onto the egg.
• Slide the egg out of the pan onto a large plate, folding it over half way so it looks like an omlette.
• Repeat for second Momlette.
