Swiss Chard Sun Dried Tomato And Feta French Style Omelet Recipes

FETA & SEMI-DRIED TOMATO OMELETTE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a small frying pan, add the eggs and cook, swirling the eggs with a fork as they set. When the eggs are still slightly runny in the middle, scatter over the tomatoes and feta, then fold the omelette in half. Cook for 1 min more before sliding onto a plate. Serve alongside a mixed leaf salad.

ROASTED SWISS CHARD WITH FETA

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet with olive oil.
• Toss the chard stems and onions in a bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and spread onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the chard stems have softened and the onion is starting to brown on the corners, about 15 minutes. Toss the chard leaves with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle the leaves over the stem mixture, then scatter the feta cheese over top.
• Return to the oven, and bake until the stems are tender, the leaves are beginning to crisp, and the feta is melted and golden, about 20 minutes.

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.

MIA KOUPPA: OMELETTE WITH FETA AND SUN-DRIED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Prepare your sun-dried tomatoes by blotting them on a paper towel in order to remove the excess oil. Using kitchen shears, snip them into small strips. Set aside.In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, dill and milk. Whisk well until very well combined.In a non-stick skillet, over medium heat, melt the butter or margarine. Pour in the eggs and tilt the pan so that the entire bottom surface of the pan is covered with the egg.As the outer edges of your egg begin to cook, gently push them towards the center of your pan. Then, tilt your pan to allow the uncooked portions of egg to reach the hot pan surface. Continue cooking, tilting your pan and gently moving cooked portions of egg, until you have no visible liquid egg left on the surface of your omelette.Remembering that you will fold your omelette in half to create a half moon shape, sprinkle on one end of your egg the feta, the sun-dried tomatoes and the green onions. Take a deep breath and flip your omelette over to cover filling. Cook for a minute more; this will help the cheese get soft and melt slightly.Slide gently off of pan into a plate. Enjoy with some fresh tomato slices, fruit or bread. Enjoy!
