Reuben Omelette Recipes

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.

THE ROYAL REUBEN OMELET

Steps:

• 1. Grill up your sliced corned beef and sauerkraut.
• 2. If making this for a celebration for St. Paddy's day, go ahead and cut out your Shamrock bread to make toast.
• 3. Beat your eggs and milk in a bowl with a little salt & pepper. Add to a heated pan w/hot oil and pour in. Now, swirl around a litte so that your omelet cooks evenly. Lift up the edges of egg mixture with spatula to allow uncooked egg to run under. Once it is almost cooked through add your hot corned beef, kraut on top and then squirt on your Thousand Island dressing.
• 4. Fold over omelet in pan....this is a heavy omelet so use 2 spatulas so that it doesn't tear like mine did. No worries though if it does as you are going to add a swiss cheese sauce on top. Yumm
• 5. Meanwhile, heat your butter on medium/low heat in a small pan and then add your flour; stir till combined. Then add your 1/4 cup of half and half and continue to stir. Add, your seasonings and shredded Swiss cheese. Whisk till completely melted and is a nice "pour" consistency. If it is too thick add more half & half.
• 6. Since I live in a town with a few "Irish" folks, I was unable to find any Thousand Island dressing and found an amazing product called "Secret Burger Sauce". On the back of the bottle it reads: "Why go out to a burger joint when you enjoy this bold twist on thousand island flavor at home?." ---This worked perfectly!
