VEGGIE OMELET WITH GOAT CHEESE

Add zucchini, mushrooms and green pepper; cook and stir 3-5 minutes or until tender., Add spinach, green onions and garlic; cook and stir 1-2 minutes longer or until spinach is wilted and garlic is tender. Transfer vegetable mixture to a small bowl. In same pan, heat remaining oil. Pour in egg mixture. Mixture should set immediately at edge., As eggs set, push cooked portions toward the center, letting uncooked eggs flow underneath. When eggs are thickened and no liquid egg remains, spoon vegetable mixture on one side; sprinkle with cheese. Fold omelet in half; cut in half and slide onto plates. Sprinkle with additional green onions.

FOOLPROOF OPEN-FACED GOAT CHEESE, CHOPPED SPINACH AND SUN-DRIED TOMATO OMELET

Steps:

• Wash and dry the spinach then chop it coarsely.
• Heat the butter in a large nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Stir in the sun-dried tomato and scallion and cook, stirring, until the scallion is wilted, about 2 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted and the water it gives off is evaporated, about 4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, beat the eggs with salt and pepper to taste.
• Lower the heat to medium. Pour in the eggs and let them sit a few seconds until they start to set around the edges. Using a plastic spatula push a piece of the set edge gently toward the center. Tilt the pan and let some of the unset egg from the top fill the little gap you just made. Keep going around the edge of the pan like this, until there is no more unset egg on top.
• Scatter the goat cheese slices over the top of the omelet. Put the skillet under the broiler and leave the oven door open, cook just until the top of the omelet is set and puffed, about 2 minutes.

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.

SPINACH, MUSHROOM, GOAT CHEESE OMELET

Steps:

• In a medium size skillet, sauté the mushrooms and garlic on medium heat for about 5 minutes.
• While those are cooking beat the eggs with salt, pepper and onion flakes.
• Spread the mushrooms as evenly as possible in the skillet, and turn down the heat to low then pour the egg mixture evenly over the mushrooms.
• Let cook until the egg have cooked almost all the way through about 10-15 minutes, then sprinkle the goat cheese crumbles evenly and fold the omelet length wise and then again the other way.

ROLLED OMELET WITH SPINACH AND GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large sauté pan. Add onion, and cook until soft and translucent, about 8 minutes. Add spinach, one handful at a time, letting each wilt before adding more. When all spinach has been added, season generously with salt and pepper, and add the nutmeg. Remove from heat. Let stand until mixture is cool enough to handle. Squeeze moisture from spinach, and coarsely chop leaves. Set aside.
• Whisk together 6 eggs and 1 tablespoon water in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a 12-inch nonstick sauté pan over medium heat. Add the egg mixture; as eggs begin to set, push them toward the center of the pan with a rubber spatula, letting the uncooked part run underneath to fill the void.
• When eggs are cooked but not yet completely dry, slide omelet onto a baking sheet. Crumble 1 1/2 ounces goat cheese along one long edge; cover with half the spinach filling. With your hands, carefully roll into a neat log. Using a large metal spatula, transfer omelet to a serving platter with the seam side down. Keep warm.
• Repeat process with the remaining ingredients. Cut each log on the diagonal into individual pieces, and serve.
