Cheesy Egg And Sweet Potato Omelette Recipes

CHEESY EGG AND SWEET POTATO OMELETTE

Steps:

• Steam or boil diced sweet potato until very tender. Drain if necessary and mash or puree until you have your desired consistency. Let cool, then place in a sealed container in the fridge until ready to use.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together egg, 1 Tbsp (15 mL) sweet potato puree, grated Cheddar, and formula or breast milk until well combined.
• Heat a small pan over medium heat. Pour egg and sweet potato mixture in and allow it to cook on one side, about 2 to 3 minutes.
• Use a thin spatula to flip omelette over onto the other side. Continue to cook until set and egg is cooked through completely. If omelette breaks apart while flipping, do not worry as you will be chopping it into pieces anyway!
• Transfer to a small plate, let cool slightly and chop into tiny pieces that your baby can manage.

CHEESY HAM AND POTATO OMELET

Steps:

• Cook potatoes, onions and garlic in 2 Tbsp. hot oil in large skillet on medium heat 10 to 12 min. or until potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally.
• Whisk eggs in large bowl. Add potato mixture, ham, 1/2 cup cheese and pepper; mix well.
• Heat remaining oil in same skillet on high heat. Add egg mixture. Reduce heat to low; cook 12 min. or until egg mixture is almost set.
• Slide omelet onto dinner plate. Place skillet upside-down over omelet; carefully turn plate and skillet over to flip omelet. Sprinkle with remaining cheese; cook 3 min. or until cheese is melted and center of omelet is set.

CHEESE OMELETTE

Steps:

• Beat eggs in a bowl with a whisk. Add milk and season with salt and white pepper. Whisk for a few minutes until egg mixture is foamy; beating in air makes the omelette fluffy.
• Melt butter in a small, nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in egg mixture and twirl skillet so bottom is evenly covered with egg. Cook for 1 minute until egg starts to set. Lift edges with a spatula and tilt the skillet so uncooked egg mixture can run towards the bottom of the skillet to set. Repeat until no visible liquid egg remains.
• Carefully flip omelette and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute. Sprinkle Emmentaler cheese in one line in the middle of the omelette and fold omelette in half. Cook for 20 seconds, then slide omelette onto plate.

POTATO AND CHEESE OMELETTE

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a frying pan.
• When hot, add potato and cook until golden-brown and crusty on all sides.
• Beat up eggs in a small bowl with very little salt (the cheese has plenty) and freshly ground pepper.
• Lower heat of stove, add eggs to pan and give them a good stir, a couple of times, bringing up cooked eggs from bottom, but redistributing uncooked eggs and potatoes.
• Sprinkle generously with shredded cheese.
• Let cook until golden-brown on bottom.
• Run spatula down center, and carefully fold one half over the other creating a half-moon (sometimes you don't get a perfect half-moon, but it still tastes good anyway!).
• Turn off heat and let omelette sit in pan for 30 seconds to a minute (depending on how well you want your eggs done) and then carefully turn over and allow 30 more seconds.
• Allow to cool about 4-5 minutes before tucking in (this seems to allow the flavours to blend better).

SWEET POTATO AND EGG SKILLET

Steps:

• In a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet, heat the butter over low heat. Add sweet potatoes, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt and thyme; cook, covered, until potatoes are almost tender, 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in spinach just until wilted, 2-3 minutes., With the back of a spoon, make 4 wells in potato mixture. Break an egg into each well. Sprinkle eggs with pepper and remaining salt. Cook, covered, on medium-low until egg whites are completely set and yolks begin to thicken but are not hard, 5-7 minutes.
