Skinny Omelette

Skinny Omelette

Eggs cooked crepe-thin and stuffed. A delicious and lighter alternative to heavy, cheese-stuffed omelette recipes - great for lunch and brunch.

Ingredients

    • 2 large eggs, beaten
    • a tiny pinch of fine grain sea salt
    • a few tablespoons of chopped chives or herbs
    • a dollop of pesto
    • a bit of goat cheese or feta
    • a small handful of mixed salad greens

Directions

    1. In your largest non-stick skillet over medium heat (this is one of the few occasions I actually use non-stick) pour the egg mixture and give it a good swirl so that they spread out thinly across the entire pan. Alternately, you can use a crepe pan or crepe maker - this works beautifully as well. Sprinkle the eggs with some salt and some of the chives and let them set, this happens quickly depending on the heat of your pan - 15 seconds to one minute. Run a spatula underneath the omelette and slide it out of the pan (flat) onto a clean countertop, large cutting board or Silpat-lined cookie sheet. Do this with confidence (or practice). 
    2. Spread the pesto across the surface of the omelette (if you have a thick pesto, thin it a bit with water to make it easily spreadable), and then sprinkle with the cheese and salad greens. 
    3. Starting with one end, roll the omelette away from you. Cut in half on a deep diagonal. Season with a bit more salt if needed and serve garnished with a few chopped chives and/or other herbs. Serve immediately
