Greek Omelet For 1 Recipes

MY BIG FAT GREEK OMELET

Steps:

• Heat a 12-inch non-stick skillet over low heat. (Use a 10-inch skillet if you halve the recipe to serve 2 instead of 4.) Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix tomatoes, 1/2 tsp. oregano, 1/4 tsp. salt, and pepper to taste. Stir in feta.
• In a medium bowl, whisk eggs together, then stir in spinach, 1/2 tsp. oregano, 1/4 tsp. salt, and pepper to taste. A few minutes before cooking omelet, add oil to the pan, and increase heat to medium-high. Heat until wisps of smoke start to rise from the pan. Add the egg mixture to the skillet. Using a plastic or wooden spatula to push back the eggs that have set, tilt the pan and let the uncooked egg mixture run onto the empty portion of the pan. Continue pushing back cooked eggs, tilting the pan and letting uncooked egg mixture flow onto the empty portion of the pan until omelet is moist but fully cooked, about 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low; pour the tomato mixture over half of the omelet. Using a slotted, flat spatula or turner, carefully fold the untopped half over the filling. Use the turner to slide the omelet onto a cutting board. Let stand a minute or two for the filling to warm.
• Cut the omelet into 4 wedges and serve immediately.

PERFECT OMELETTE FOR ONE

Steps:

• In a small mixing bowl, break both eggs, add cold water, salt and pepper and using a fork or a whisk, mix until well blended.
• Preheat an 8 or 10 inch frying pan on medium-high heat. It is preferable to use a non-stick frying pan or skillet.
• Add butter and let it melt.
• Rotate pan and let the butter coat the edges.
• Pour the egg mixture into the center of the pan and immediately start to rotate the pan in a circular motion, keeping the pan on the element at all times.
• During rotating, take a spatula and loosen the egg on the sides of the pan if nececessary and continue to rotate the pan until the eggs are cooked. You may need to loosen the sides a couple of times during cooking; takes about 2 minutes. The omelette should be loose and rotate in the pan. Do not overcook the omelette as it will get rubbery.
• Once the omelette is cooked, take the spatula and turn 1/3 of the omelette over towards the center of the pan. Slide the omelette onto a platter so that it folds again.
• You may wish to use your choice of filling. Just before you fold the last 1/3 over, add some filling and then fold the omelette over.
• Do not let the omelette brown. It should be thin and soft.
• Enjoy.

GREEK OMELET

Steps:

• In a cast- iron skillet or a frying pan, saute the potatoes in the olive oil; cook for about 3 minutes in one layer, then turn once and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
• Add the onion, garlic, salt and pepper; cook until the softens and the potatoes are done. Add the spinach and the capers or olives. When the spinach is cooked, remove the pan from the heat.
• Heat a cast-iron frying pan that is well-seasoned enough to handle a large omelet, or use a non-stick skillet. Add the oil to the pre-heated pan and swirl it around the pan. Immediately add the beaten egg mixture and move it around the pan until the egg coats the entire bottom. Tip the pan to distribute the liquid egg that still may be in the center of the pan. Place the vegetables that you are using on top of the egg mixture. Add the crumbled feta cheese.
• *Place under a medium or high broiler and broil until the cheese is meltedand the eggs are set. Watch carefully, since this step takes only a few minutes. Remove from the broiler and sprinkle with the chopped dill, if using. Serve immediately.
• Note: Feta making a folded omelet, place the vegetables and the feta on one side only of the egg mixture. Then place under the broiler to melt the cheese. Then remove from under the broiler and then just fold the remaining half over the vegetable/cheese side. Then just skide it out of the pan and onto a pre-heated(optional) plate or platter.
