Mushroom Artichoke And Basil Egg White Omelet Recipes

MUSHROOM, ARTICHOKE, AND BASIL EGG-WHITE OMELET

Steps:

• In an 8-inch nonstick skillet cook mushrooms, roasted garlic, garlic salt or sea salt, and crushed red pepper flakes, in 1 teaspoon hot olive oil for 5 minutes or until mushrooms are tender, stirring occasionally.
• Stir in artichoke hearts; transfer mushrooms mixture to a small bowl; set aside.
• Cool skillet slightly.
• In a small bowl whisk egg whites with a fork just until frothy.
• Wipe out skillet with a clean paper towel; coat skillet with nonstick spray or brush with additional olive oil.
• Sprinkle basil ( we used parsely & chives - personal preference - don't like basil) in the center of skillet to within an inch of skillet edge.
• Slowly pour egg white mixture around edge of the basil or parsely-chive mixture and then over top of basil or parsely-chive mixture.
• Place skillet over medium heat.
• As egg starts to set, use a heat-proof spatula to gently lift edges of set egg, tilting pan to let liquid egg mixture run under set egg.
• Continue this process until egg is set but still shiny.
• Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the cheese across center.
• Top with mushroom mixture.
• With spatula, lift and fold one side of the omelet up over the filling.
• Repeat with remaining side of omelet.
• Remove from heat; carefully transfer to a plate.
• Top with sweet red pepper, remaining cheese, and black pepper.
• Serve with dressed salad if desired.

ASPARAGUS, MUSHROOM AND CHEESE OMELET WITH HERBS

Steps:

• Heat medium skillet over medium-high heat for a minute or two, until hot.
• Reduce heat to medium and add the butter, swirling to coat the bottom of the pan evenly.
• In a small bowl, use a fork to whisk together the eggs with the water and the pepper.
• When butter is melted and sizzling, pour the egg mixture all at once into the pan.
• Place the asparagus in one layer over the eggs, and place the sliced mushrooms down the center, sprinkle evenly with thyme.
• Reduce heat to low, cover and cook over low heat for about 3 minutes, until omelet is almost completely set.
• Sprinkle evenly with the cheese, cover pan, and continue to cook over low heat for another minute or two, until cheese is melted and omelet is set.
• Off the heat, and use a wide spatula to carefully fold omelet in half.
• Gently slide omelet out of the pan and onto a warmed plate. Drizzle with any remaining melted butter in the pan.
• Garnish with a sprig of thyme.

BAKED MUSHROOM OMELETTE

Steps:

• Mix together eggs, cheese, basil & oregano.
• Add tomato, onion and mushrooms. Season to taste.
• Spoon mixture into buttered baking dish.
• Bake at 180 degrees celcius for 25 - 30 minutes.

MUSHROOM AND CHEESE OMELET

Steps:

• Crack the eggs into a small bowl, and use a fork to beat them with the salt and pepper.
• Heat an 8-inch omelet pan or shallow skillet (preferably nonstick) over medium-high heat. Add the butter, let it melt and swirl the pan so it coats the bottom evenly. Pour the eggs into the pan and quickly shake and swirl so the eggs completely cover the bottom. Let the eggs firm up on the bottom, about 30 seconds, then use a rubber spatula to lift the edges of the omelet up so any uncooked egg on the top runs underneath.
• Sprinkle half of the eggs with the sauteed mushrooms and cheese and let it cook for another 30 seconds; the top should be moist but not quite runny (unless you like it runny). Flip the uncooked side of the eggs over the filling, and slide it onto a plate. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.
• Heat a very large skillet over medium high heat. Add the oil, then the mushrooms and garlic, season with salt and pepper and saute until the liquid has evaporated and the mushrooms have turned nicely browned, about 10 minutes. Taste, adjust seasonings and serve hot.
