I don't have a good past relationship with omelets. They always turn into scrambled eggs by the time I'm done. Last week I felt determined to give it a valiant effort. Besides using too many eggs and making it too thick, it came out pretty good! Even without cheese. I really had to press down the eggs in order to get them to stay folded in half since I didn't use cheese to hold it together and it was extra thick. Nevertheless, it was delicious. I think I owe this flavor blast to Jim's Meat Market's summer sausage, up here in Iron River, Wisconsin. Paired with strawberries, a cup of tea and a chair out on the sunny deck… heaven. The recipe below reflects what I would do if I fixed the too many eggs problem.
Ingredients:
1 egg yolk + 3 egg whites, mixed thoroughly
2 TBLS extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2-inch slice of Jim's Meat Market (or any place) summer sausage, diced
1 handful spinach, stems removed
1 tsp minced garlic
1 full slice of a medium onion, diced
3 strawberries, sliced
*optional: feta cheese
Directions:
1. Heat 2 TBLS extra virgin olive oil over a pan on medium/low heat.
2. Saute the onions, garlic, and spinach until spinach is wilted and the onions are translucent. Take them out of the pan and set them aside for now.
2. Add the egg mixture to the pan and let cook for a few minutes with a top on, until it's golden on the bottom and "flip-able."
3. Flip the eggs, top them with the summer sausage, and the garlic/onion/spinach mixture. *and Feta Cheese if you so choose.
5. Let it cook for about 30 seconds with a top on.
6. Turn off the heat, and fold the omelet in half, pressing down to make it stay.
7. Enjoy!
