Goat Cheese Sweet Potato And Crouton Omelets Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• In an 8-inch non-stick skillet melt 1 tablespoon butter over moderate heat and in bowl toss with bread cubes. On a baking sheet toast bread cubes in middle of oven until pale golden and crisp, about 10 minutes, and transfer to a bowl.
• Peel sweet potato and cut into 1/4-inch dice. In a steamer set over boiling water steam potato and onion until tender, about 4 minutes, and toss with croutons. Cool mixture and toss with goat cheese and rosemary. In a bowl whisk together eggs and salt and pepper to taste. In skillet heat 1/2 tablespoon butter over moderately high heat until foam subsides. Pour in half of eggs, tilting skillet to spread evenly over bottom. Cook omelet 1 minute, or until almost set, stirring top layer with back of fork and shaking skillet, letting any uncooked egg run underneath. Sprinkle half of omelet with half of crouton mixture and cook 1 minute more, or until set. Fold omelet over filling and transfer to a plate. Keep omelet warm while making another omelet with remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter, eggs, and crouton mixture in same manner.

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.
