Cream Cheese Spinach/Country OmelettesPosted on Thursday 26 April 2007 at 1:10 PM in In The Kitchen - Post CommentI was looking for creative omelet ideas for dinner and came across a couple ideas:Cream Cheese Spinach Omelette This was found on the Mr.Breakfast site: http://www.mrbreakfast.com/display.asp?categoryid=4&subcategoryid=1&recipeid=1078# (This recipe yields 1 serving) 2 oz cream cheese 2 eggs 1/4 cup chopped fresh spinach leaves 1/4 teaspoon toasted sesame seed oil In a bowl, mix together cream cheese and spinach. In a separate bowl, beat 2 eggs. Brush sesame seed oil on the bottom of a frying pan. Preheat pan on medium heat, pour in eggs. Cook until able to flip egg. Spread cream cheese mixture onto cooked side of egg. Wait 30 seconds to ensure the other side of the egg is cooked, fold in half, wait 1 minute to melt cream cheese mixture. Remove from heat, serve. Toasted sesame seed oil is VERY strong tasting. Be sure not to use any more than necessary or it will overpower the taste of the omelette. Just brushing it on the bottom of the pan will suffice. This is a great low carb breakfast! Country Omelet (from http://www.cooks.com/) 2 c. cooked sliced potatoes or hash browns 1 thinly sliced onion 1 tbsp. shortening or bacon grease 7 eggs 2 tbsp. milk 1 tsp. salt 1 c. grated cheese 1 c. cooked, diced meat (ham, bacon or sausage or all three) Over medium heat brown potatoes and onion in shortening (use non-stick pan or spray with Pam) for about 15-20 minutes. Sprinkle meat over potatoes. Beat eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour over potatoes and meat. Sprinkle cheese on top. Cover and reduce heat to simmer. Cook until edges are set and omelet is puffy. Cut in wedges. Serve hot. Serves 4. |
