Spinach Nettle Omelet With Onion Soubise Recipes

SPINACH OMELETTE

Steps:

• Prep the ingredients. Wash and chop the spinach leaves. Don't let the leaves go dry. Leave some water. Thinly slice the garlic. Crack the eggs into a bowl, and add a tablespoon of milk. Add a pinch of salt, and whisk the eggs gently just enough for the yolk to mix well.
• Heat a cast iron skillet (or any other frying pan), and add the chopped spinach, garlic, and sprinkle some salt. Let the leaves wilt, and take them off the skillet.
• Pour a teaspoon olive oil on the pan, and spread it evenly with a spatula. Reduce the flame to medium, and pour the egg mixture. Tilt the pan and let the eggs spread evenly. As soon as the omelette start to set, lift near the edges with the spatula so that the uncooked eggs can reach the bottom of the pan. Once the center starts to set, top half of the omelette with the cooked spinach and garlic. Now sprinkle the grated cheese on top of it.
• Lower the flame, and cook further. Wait for the cheese to start melting, and once the omelette starts to get detached from sides, fold in half. Gently slide the omelette to a plate.

BABY SPINACH OMELET

Steps:

• In a bowl, beat the eggs, and stir in the baby spinach and Parmesan cheese. Season with onion powder, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
• In a small skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat, cook the egg mixture about 3 minutes, until partially set. Flip with a spatula, and continue cooking 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low, and continue cooking 2 to 3 minutes, or to desired doneness.

BAKED OMELET WITH ONION, SPINACH, AND SWISS CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly coat an 8-inch square baking pan with butter or cooking spray.
• Beat the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until well combined. Peel the onion and cut into 1/4-inch pieces. Spread the onion, spinach, and Swiss cheese evenly in the pan, then pour in the egg mixture. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
• food for thought
• Spinach is an excellent source of iron, calcium, chlorophyll, beta-carotene, vitamin C, riboflavin, sodium, and potassium. But keep in mind that fresh spinach loses much of its nutritional value if it's stored more than a few days. Refrigeration slows the effect somewhat, but it is best to use fresh spinach within a couple of days of buying it. Freezing spinach prevents the loss of most of its nutritional value, so frozen spinach is a great choice, too.

SPINACH AND HERB OMELET

Steps:

• In a small bowl, toss the avocado with the lemon juice, season with salt and pepper, and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, egg whites, milk, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
• In a nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium. Add onion and cook until tender, about 4 minutes. Add jalapeno and spinach; cook until the spinach has wilted, about 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl; stir in chives and cheese; set aside.
• Wipe the skillet and add 1 tablespoon oil. Add half the egg mixture and cook until nearly set, 1 to 2 minutes. Spoon half of the spinach mixture into the center, fold the omelet over, halve crosswise, and place on serving plate. Top with half the avocado. Repeat with remaining tablespoon of oil, egg and spinach mixtures, and avocado. Serve with mango and kiwi.

SPINACH-NETTLE OMELET WITH ONION SOUBISE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Toss bread with 2 tablespoons oil and a pinch of salt. Spread onto a baking sheet, and bake until golden brown and crisp, about 15 minutes. Let croutons cool completely. Crush into coarse crumbs using a rolling pin.
• Melt butter in a small skillet over low heat. Cook onion, stirring often, until translucent, about 10 minutes. Add heavy cream. Continue cooking until onion is soft and cream reduces by half, about 45 minutes. (This is called a soubise.) Add cheese, and season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add greens. Remove from heat. Stir and toss greens as they continue cooking until wilted, about 3 minutes. Remove from skillet, and coarsely chop greens. Season with salt and pepper.
• Combine 3/4 cup breadcrumbs, the chopped greens, and egg. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in an 8-inch skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add egg mixture, and distribute evenly in skillet. Cook until edges are crisp, about 6 minutes. Fold omelet in half, and cook for 2 minutes more. Meanwhile, reheat soubise, and transfer to a plate. Top with omelet. Garnish with cheese.
