Casual Omelet
In the time it takes for a morning stretch, you can make a nutritious spring omelet.

Ingredients
-
Nonstick cooking spray
-
1 8-ounce carton refrigerated or frozen egg product, thawed, or 4 eggs
-
1 tablespoon snipped fresh chives, Italian parsley or chervil
-
Dash salt
-
Dash ground red pepper
-
1/4 cup shredded, reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese (1 ounce)
-
1 cup spinach leaves
-
Fresh fruit (optional)
-
2/3 cup finely chopped red sweet pepper
-
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
-
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
-
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
1.
In a bowl combine sweet pepper, onion, vinegar, and black pepper. Set aside.
2.
Use an 8-inch nonstick skillet with flared sides or a crepe pan. Spray cold skillet with cooking spray. Heat skillet over medium heat.
3.
In a bowl beat together egg product or eggs, chives, salt, and ground red pepper with an electric mixer on medium speed or a rotary beater until frothy.
4.
Pour mixture into prepared skillet. Cook, uncovered, over medium heat without stirring for 4 to 5 minutes or until eggs begin to set. As eggs set, run a spatula around edge of skillet, lifting eggs so uncooked portion flows underneath. When eggs are set but still shiny, sprinkle with cheese. Top with 3/4 cup spinach and 2 tablespoons red pepper mixture. Fold one side of omelet partially over filling. Top with remaining 1/4 cup spinach and 1 tablespoon red pepper mixture. Reserve remaining red pepper mixture for another use. Transfer omelet to a plate. Serve with fresh fruit, if desired. Makes 2 servings.
