SUN-DRIED TOMATO BRUSCHETTA WITH GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• Slice your bread, if you have not done so already; place them on a baking sheet which you have lined with aluminum foil (just in case something falls off and tries to burn).
• Place the bread under the broiler and toast until light golden; remove.
• Turn the bread over, place the bread under the broiler and toast just until the bread firms slightly but not golden yet; remove.
• Brush the lighter side with olive oil (you may decline this if you are using tomatoes packed in oil, but it's your choice).
• On top of that lay out some basil leaves to cover the top of the bread.
• Mince the sun-dried tomatoes and sprinkle on top of the basil; I use regular dried on mine that are still pliant like raisins; if yours are hard you may need to have soaked them in warm water in advance and squeezed dry then mince; but you can do that now, no biggie.
• On top of the tomatoes sprinkle a generous amount of goat cheese and tap down so it doesn't fall off.
• If you like you can add a pinch of sea salt but I didn't.
• Place the bruschettas under the broiler and toast just until the cheese starts to soften and the edges get nice and brown; serve.

SUN-DRIED TOMATO AND GOAT CHEESE OMELET

Steps:

• Break the eggs into a bowl and beat with a fork or a whisk until they are frothy. Whisk in the milk, salt, pepper and garlic.
• 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 sun-dried tomatoes, cheese and basil over the middle of the egg "pancake," then jerk the pan quickly away from you then back toward you so that the omelet folds over onto 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, and serve.
