Chef Pierre's Mediterranean Omelette

Chef Pierre's Note:

I was getting bored with traditional omelettes, I needed something zesty and tangy, so I looked in the refridgerator and it all came to me.

• Total Time: 20 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 1

• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 tablespoon butter
• 1/2 tablespoon milk
• 2 marinated artichoke hearts (slice them up)
• 3 roundtop mushrooms (sliced)
• 1 stalk asparagus (cut into discs, staying in the soft parts)
• 1/2 sweet green pepper (cut into bite-sized pieces)
• 1/2 cup freshly shredded parmesan cheese (you shred it)

Directions:

1. You can also add your own veges to this as well.
2. In a small bowl whisk the two eggs and milk together and put them aside.
3. Using medium-high heat, in a saute pan or small skillet, saute the artichokes, green peppers, asparagus and mushrooms in the extra virgin olive oil, and balsamic vinegar-- (my mouth is watering just typing this).
4. When through, put them aside.
5. On medium high heat, melt the butter in a ten inch skillet and then pour the egg mixture inches Be sure it is even as it cooks.
6. When the surface of the eggs looks firm, put the sauteed veggies and Parmesan cheese on half of the egg mixture, fold the side without veggies and cheese over onto the side that does.
7. Cook for another 1-2 minutes and get ready to eat something special.

Very nice recipe. Used all the ingredients, even fresh grated parmesan. It seemed like there were more vegys than egg so I increased by 1 egg & used yogurt vs milk. Added a tiny bit of chopped jalapeno. Normally I'm taking salt out of the recipe, I felt it could use alittle (maybe my balsamic cooked off too much). Next time I'll try abit of feta cheese (in lieu of salt) &/or chopped deli ham. Great dish, hubby loved it. Thanks for sharing.

I was out of asparagus so in its place I used a combination of green scallions, fresh parsley and fresh basil. I like the little kick with the balsamic although I used white instead of dark balsamic. Used red pepper for green. Easy to make. Oh, instead of milk used whipping cream! thanks for sharing. cg
