Spinach And Brie Omelet Recipes

SOUFFLé OMELET WITH SPINACH AND BRIE

Steps:

• Separate the egg whites and yolks into two medium bowls.
• In the egg yolks, whisk together the yolks, milk, and a pinch each of the salt and pepper until just combined.
• Use a handheld mixer to beat the egg whites until they are stiff peak (about 1 1/2 minutes). Using a spatula, gently fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture until just combined - do not over fold - you'll still be able to see some of the egg whites and that's OK.
• In a 10-12 inch non-stick skillet (I used 10 inch and it was a thick omelet), melt 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium heat. Add the egg mixture and smooth it evenly and gently to fill the pan.
• Cook without moving it or stirring until the middle just starts to set, about 3-4 minutes.
• Add the spinach and Brie to one half of the omelet, cover the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until the cheese just begins to melt. Carefully (I used a spatula on either side) fold the empty side over the filled side to enclose. Cook for 1 minute.
• Remove the pan from the heat and slide the omelet onto a plate.
• In a small saucepan, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and add the honey. Stir until melted and combined. Remove from heat and stir in a pinch of kosher salt.
• Drizzle the omelet with as much of the sauce as you want (to taste) and top with the blueberries. Serve immediately.

BACON, SPINACH, AND BRIE OMELET

Steps:

• In a 10-inch skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, or until crisp. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain. When cool, chop coarsely and set aside. Pour out the fat, leaving just a thin film in the bottom of the hot skillet. Add the spinach and cook, stirring, for about 45 seconds, or until wilted. Using tongs, transfer the spinach to a small bowl. Add a pinch of salt and a grinding of pepper to the spinach. Place the Brie in a separate small bowl. Break the eggs into a medium bowl and add the water. Stir with a flat whisk, spiral whisk, or a fork just until blended. Add a pinch of salt and a grinding of pepper. Heat a 7- or 8-inch omelet pan or skillet over medium heat for about 1 minute, or until hot. Add the butter and heat for 10 seconds, or until the butter foams and then begins to subside. Immediately pour the eggs into the center of the pan. They should sizzle on contact. Cook for about 10 seconds, or until the bottom is just set. Using a flat-edged rubber or silicone spatula, pull the set edges from the sides of the pan toward the center and tilt the pan to allow the unset egg to run toward the sides of the pan. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until the eggs are soft set. Sprinkle the bacon on top of the eggs. Place the Brie slices down the center of the eggs. Use tongs or a fork to put the spinach on top of the cheese. Remove the pan from the heat. Using a flat-edged rubber or silicone spatula, turn the one-third of the omelet nearest the handle over the filling in the center. Holding the pan by the handle, tilt the pan. With the edge of the spatula guide the omelet as it rolls out onto a plate, forming a seam-side-down envelope. Serve at once.

BABY SPINACH OMELET

Steps:

• In a bowl, beat the eggs, and stir in the baby spinach and Parmesan cheese. Season with onion powder, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
• In a small skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat, cook the egg mixture about 3 minutes, until partially set. Flip with a spatula, and continue cooking 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low, and continue cooking 2 to 3 minutes, or to desired doneness.

HERB AND BRIE OMELET

Steps:

• Combine the eggs, basil, parsley, thyme, milk, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Whisk well to combine.
• Heat small nonstick skillet over medium heat. (Skillet should be hot before pouring in egg mixture.) When skillet is hot, spray with nonstick cooking spray.
• Pour egg mixture into skillet and allow it to cook, without stirring, until egg is almost set. Place cheese slices down center of egg; fold sides of the omelet over to cover cheese. Cover pan; continue to cook an additional 1 to 2 minutes or until cheese is melted.
• Serve immediately.

SPINACH AND GARLIC OMELET

Steps:

• Wash the spinach and wilt in a frying pan over medium-high heat. The water remaining on the spinach leaves after washing will be sufficient. Drain, allow to cool and squeeze out excess water. Chop medium-fine and toss with half the garlic and salt and pepper to taste.
• Break the eggs into another bowl and beat with a fork or a whisk until they are frothy. Whisk in the remaining garlic, salt and pepper to taste and 2 to 3 teaspoons milk.
• Heat an 8-inch nonstick omelet pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 teaspoons olive oil. Hold your hand an inch or two above the pan, and when it feels hot, pour the eggs into the middle of the pan, scraping every last bit into the pan with a rubber spatula. Swirl the pan to distribute the eggs evenly over the surface. Shake the pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up the edges of the omelet with the spatula in your other hand, to let the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking.
• As soon as the eggs are set on the bottom, sprinkle the spinach over the middle of the egg pancake and top with the Parmesan, then jerk the pan quickly away from you then back toward you so that the omelet folds over on itself. If you don't like your omelet runny in the middle (I do), jerk the pan again so that the omelet folds over once more. Cook for a minute or two longer. Tilt the pan and roll the omelet out onto a plate.

SPINACH AND BRIE OMELET

Steps:

• Wash the spinach in plenty of cold water at least twice to get rid of any grit or sand. The easiest way is to swish it around in a bowlful of cold water and lift it out. If there's grit in the bottom of the bowl, change the water and repeat the process. You can leave on the stems if you're using baby spinach. Otherwise, tear off the stems at the base of the large, crinkly leaves and discard.
• Steam the spinach by tossing it with a little water in a skillet over high heat. Alternatively, microwave it for 1 minute.
• Cool the spinach by running it under cold water, and drain it well in a colander. Give it a couple of good squeezes with your hands to get rid of as much liquid as possible. Using a sharp knife, roughly chop the spinach into 1/2-inch pieces.
• Using a whisk or a fork, beat the eggs with some salt and pepper in a small bowl until frothy.
• Heat the butter in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1/3 cup of the spinach and sauté for 1 minute, or until very hot.
• Pour the eggs into the pan, tilting the pan to evenly distribute the eggs over the spinach. Let the eggs cook and set for about 5 seconds.
• Using a silicone or rubber spatula, gently pull the cooked egg from the edges toward the center of the pan, while allowing the liquid egg to run underneath and onto the hot pan. After about 30 seconds, or when the eggs look cooked but are still moist, arrange the Brie slices on half of the omelet. The cheese is soft and will melt quickly.
• Using the spatula, fold the omelet in half. Cook the omelet for another 10 seconds. Slide the omelet from the pan onto a serving plate.
