Omelets are a fantastic dish to make when
you're serving just
yourself.
Try this recipe from Convito Cafe & Market:
Ingredients
2 eggs
2 teaspoons butter
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
1 container of Convito’s Bell Pepper Tomato
Sauce heated (this is enough for 4 omelets)
Recipe
1. Beat eggs in small bowl with fork or wire whisk until
yolks and whites are well mixed.
2. Heat butter in 8-inch skillet over medium-high heat
until butter is hot and sizzling. As butter melts, tilt skillet to coat bottom with
butter.
3. Quickly pour eggs into skillet. While rapidly
sliding skillet back and forth over heat, quickly stir eggs with a fork to spread
them continuously over the bottom of the skillet as they thicken. When they are
thickened, let stand over heat a few seconds to lightly brown bottom of omelet.
Do not overcook--the omelet will continue to cook after being folded. Sprinkle
with cheese.
4. Tilt skillet and run a spatula under edge of
omelet, then pull skillet to loosen omelet from bottom of skillet. Fold portion
of omelet nearest you just to center. Allow for a portion of the omelet to slide
up side of skillet. Turn omelet onto warm plate, flipping folded portion of omelet
over so far side is on bottom. Tuck sides of omelet under if desired.
Spoon ¼ of the Convito Bell Pepper Tomato Sauce
over the top. Serve immediately.
Buy a crunchy baguette and a bottle of La Marca
Prosecco for $11.99 and mix it with orange juice for the perfect mimosa to accompany
the omelet!
