    Mediteranean Omelet

    Ingredients

    2 medium plum tomatoes
    2 ounce(s) feta cheese
    2 cup(s) (loosely packed) baby spinach leaves
    8 large eggs
    1/2 cup(s) water
    1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
    1/2 teaspoon(s) coarsely ground black pepper
    2 tablespoon(s) margarine or butter

    Directions

    Chop tomatoes. Crumble feta cheese. Thinly slice spinach leaves.

    Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Place 4 dinner plates in oven to warm.

    In medium bowl, place eggs, water, salt, and black pepper.

    With fork, beat 25 to 30 quick strokes to blend mixture without making it fluffy.

    (Overbeating toughens the proteins in the whites.)

    In  nonstick skillet, melt  margarine on medium.

    When margarine stops sizzling, pour or ladle  egg mixture into skillet.

    After egg mixture begins to set around edges, about 25 to 30 seconds,

    with heat-safe spatula, carefully push cooked egg from side of skillet toward center,

    so uncooked egg can reach bottom of hot skillet.

    Repeat 8 to 10 times around skillet, tilting as necessary, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.

    Cook until omelet is almost set but still creamy and moist on top.

    Place skillet handle facing you, and layer one-fourth of crumbled feta,

    spinach leaves, and chopped tomatoes over half of each omelet.

    With spatula, fold unfilled half over filling.

    Shake pan gently to loosen any egg or filling from edge,

    then slide omelet to edge of skillet. Holding skillet above warm plate,

    tip skillet so omelet slides onto plate. Serve with toast and a mixed greens salad

    with balsamic vinaigrette if you like.

    Greek Omelet

    Ingredients

    1/4 cup(s) cooked spinach
    4 large eggs
    1/2 cup(s) crumbled feta cheese (2 ounces)
    2 scallions, thinly sliced
    2 tablespoon(s) chopped fresh dill
    Freshly ground pepper, to taste
    2 teaspoon(s) extra-virgin olive oil

    Directions

    Squeeze spinach to remove any excess water.

    Blend eggs with a fork in a medium bowl.

    Add feta, scallions, dill, pepper and the spinach; mix gently with a rubber spatula.

    Set a rack about 4 inches from the heat source; preheat the broiler.

    Heat oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat.

    Pour in the egg mixture and tilt to distribute evenly.

    Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the bottom is light golden,

    lifting the edges to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath, 3 to 4 minutes.

    Place the pan under the broiler and cook until the top is set, 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 minutes.

    Slide the omelet onto a platter and cut into wedges.

    Crispy Tortilla with Ham Eggs and Spinach

     

    Ingredients

     

    3 tablespoon(s) Butter, divided
    1 small Red jalapeno, Finely chopped
    8 cup(s) Fresh Baby Spinach, Packed
    4 whole(s) (10 inch) Flour Tortillas
    8 slice(s) (Thin) Black Forest Ham
    8 large Fresh Eggs
    1 1/3 cup(s) white cheddar Cheese, Sharp, Crumbled

     

    Directions

     

    Preheat the broiler. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat.

    Add the jalapeño and stir to coat with the butter.

    Add the spinach and sauté for 2 minutes or just until the spinach wilts.

    Season to taste with salt.

    Place the spinach mixture in a fine sieve to drain any excess moisture from the spinach.

    -Meanwhile heat a flat griddle pan over medium-high heat.

    Working with one tortilla at a time cook the tortillas for 2 minutes on

    each side or until they are hot and slightly crisp (do not allow the tortillas to

    become too crisp at this point since they will continue to crisp under the broiler).

    Set 2 tortillas on each of 2 heavy large baking sheets.

    Lay 2 slices of ham on each tortilla overlapping slightly.

    Spoon the spinach atop the ham dividing equally.

    Melt 1 tablespoon of butter on the griddle pan over medium-high heat.

    Crack 4 eggs into the pan spacing them evenly apart and cook for 2 minutes or

    until the whites are set and beginning to brown around the edges.

    Using a spatula carefully set 2 eggs atop the spinach and ham on each tortilla.

    Repeat with the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and 4 eggs.

    Sprinkle the eggs with the cheese and broil for 1 to 2 minutes or until the egg whites

    are set on top and the cheese melts. Transfer to plates and serve with the hot sauce.
