3 Egg Omelet

* Prep Time:5 Min
* Cook Time:5 Min
* Difficulty:easy
* Serves.1

Description

A quick and easy omelet that even a beginner can turn out perfectly every time!

Ingredients

3 eggs
2-3 Tbsp Milk (can substitute soy milk)
pinch pepper
Various fillings
Preparation

1. Place saute pan over medium heat with just enough oil to coat bottom and sides. (A non-stick pan works best!)

2. Beat together eggs, milk, and pepper in small bowl until well blended and slightly frothy.

3. Add mixture to warmed pan and swirl to coat sides of pan.

4. Allow to cook until the egg whites become noticeable and slightly lumpy. Swirl pan again to recoat sides of pan. Add fixings to only one side of omelet in pan. Tip: use the opposite side from the one where omelet is most noticeably coming away from pan side.

5. allow to continue cooking until omelet has become set. Then taking a fork slide it under edges on empty side of omelet to make sure it is free of the pan. Using fingers or a spatula fold empty side over side with fillings. Be very careful because omelet is delicate and breaks easily.

6. allow to finish cooking another minute or so. Then plate the omelet by either sliding onto a plate from pan or placing plate over pan and inverting onto plate.

Note: You can use any filling you want in an omelet. For toppings any garnish will work or you can use a sauce (Hollandaise is a traditional favorite.) I often top with Salsa for a Southwestern flair!

Hold-the-Mayo Tuna Melts with Fennel and Onion

4 Servings

Ingredients:

1 large clove garlic, minced or grated
Juice of 1 lemon
1/4 cup EVOO (extra-virgin olive oil)
Salt and black pepper
1 large red onion, 1/4 fi nely chopped and the rest thinly sliced
1 bulb fennel—quartered and thinly sliced, reserving a small handful of finely chopped fronds
Three 6-ounce cans line-caught tuna, drained and flaked
3 tablespoons capers, chopped
A small handful oil-cured black or kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
A handful flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
4 hand-cut slices good-quality whole grain bread
About 1 1/2 cups shredded italian fontina val d’aosta or provolone cheese

Directions:
1.Preheat the oven to 350°. Place the garlic and lemon juice in a bowl and whisk in 3 tablespoons EVOO; season with lots of pepper.

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon EVOO, 1 turn of the pan, in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onion and fennel bulb and cook to crisp-tender, 6 to 7 minutes; season with salt and pepper.

Add the tuna to the garlic-lemon dressing. Combine with the finely chopped onion, the capers, olives, parsley and fennel fronds; toss to combine. Divide the tuna among the bread slices and top with the sautéed fennel and onions, then the fontina or provolone. Pop into the oven and bake until the bread is crisp, the tuna is warm and the cheese is melted and lightly browned, about 15 minutes.
