CREAMY GOAT CHEESE PESTO OMELET (WW 10 POINTSPLUS)

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick skillet coated lightly with cooking spray over medium heat until hot. Add the edammame and cook until beginning to brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
• In medium bowl beat together the egg whites and cottage cheese; add to the skillet and stir in the edammame. Continue to cook without stirring for 2 minutes or until set on bottom. Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelet to allow the uncooked portion of eggs to settle to the bottom and edges and set. Continue cooking for 2 minutes or until the center is almost set.
• Combine the goat cheese and pesto; spoon the mixture down the center of the omelet. Using a large spatula, fold half of the omelet over the filling.
• Reduce heat to low; cook for 2 minutes or until the cheese melts and the center is set.
• Use the large spatula to cut the omelet in half; transfer to serving dishes and top with basil.
• Serve with toast, and, if desired, preserves.

PESTO OMELET

Steps:

• Combine eggs and tomato in a small bowl and set aside.
• Haet greased, large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in egg mixture. Mixture should immediately set at the edges.
• Carefully push cooked mixture at edges toward center so uncooked portions can reach the hot pan surface, tilting pan as necessary.
• While top is still moist and creamy-looking, top with roasted pepper, pesto and cheese.
• Reduce heat to low; fold omelet in half. Cook an additional 2 minutes and serve immediately.

PESTO OMELET IN A PITA POCKET

Steps:

• Scramble the egg, and cook in med-hi skillet, flipping once midway through. Leaving it in a single piece, "omelet style" makes assembly and eating easier and neater.
• While the egg is cooking, wrap pita in a slightly damp dishtowel, and microwave for 20-40 seconds, until warm and pliable (be careful - it's hotter inside, so be careful opening the pita). You can leave the pita wrapped in the towel until ready to use it.
• Cut/tear the pita to make a flap of half the diameter of the pita; fold the flap back.
• fold the egg in half; melt the cheese on the egg, or make a cheese omelet if you wish.
• Slide the egg/cheese into the warm, waiting pita, stuffing it gently into the pouch of the bread,.
• Spread the pesto onto the inside of the "flap".
• Fold pita closed, and roll, if desired.
• NOTE: since you are multi-tasking here, I put a single time in the Preparation box, rather than try to split it up.

SUN-DRIED TOMATO AND GOAT CHEESE OMELET

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.

CREAMY GOAT CHEESE AND HONEY

Steps:

• Divide the goat cheese into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball. Combine the crushed pecans and cinnamon in a bowl. Roll each goat cheese ball in the pecan mixture until covered. Gently pat the balls into patties; transfer to a serving plate. Drizzle honey over the patties and sprinkle rosemary on top. Serve immediately.
