Italian Farmers Market Omelete
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup of rinsed, chopped kale
- 1 small red onion
- 1 clove of garlic
- 1/2 cup of diced mushroom
- 3 tablespoons of olive oil ( if using a skillet like Copper Chef you won’t need to add olive oil to skillet)
- 3/4 cup of chopped prosciutto
- 4 eggs
- 1/4 cup of milk
- 1/2 cup of grated mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- In favorite 9″ skillet saute 3/4 of the onion, garlic for about 2 minutes
- Add mushroom and saute for an additional 2 minutes
- Move first veggies to the side in skillet and add chopped kale that has been tossed in olive oil into the skilled and continue to saute about 2 minutes before mixing with the other veggies in skillet.
- Add store bought dried Italian season mix or create your own (garlic salt, onion powder, sugar, oregano, pepper, thyme, basil, parsley, celery salt and regular salt)
- Stir in fresh chopped prosciutto and saute in the veggie mix for about 3 minutes blending the flavors.
- Remove saute veggies from skillet and keep to side in separate bowl
- Mix 4 eggs and 1/4 cup of 2% milk till well blended
- Pour 1/2 of mix in hot skillet making sure it covers bottom of skillet. Put lid on to help cook the top of the egg mix. Watch so it doesn’t burn – should take about 4-5 minutes to cook egg.
- Once you are able to flip the omelet without it falling a part you can add 1/2 the saute veggie mix to one 1/2 of the egg omelet. Add 1/4 cup of cheese to top of saute veggies.
- Flip 1/2 of omelet to close it and keep in skillet with lid on for another 1-2 minutes so the cheese can melt inside egg.
- Remove egg from skillet.
- Add the remaining diced red onions and tomatoes to the hot skillet – saute for about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with salt if desired.
- spoon 1/2 the tomato / onion mix on top of each Omelet – sprinkle with Parmesan cheese before serving.
