2 large Omelets (4 servings)
¼ cup chopped green
pepper
¼ cup chopped green
onions
5 tablespoons butter or
margarine
1 ripe tomato, peeked,
seeded and chopped
¼ teaspoon Italian herb
seasoning mix
¼ teaspoon salt
1 large avocado
1 tablespoon lemon juice
8 eggs
½ teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
¼ cup milk.
1. Sauté´ pepper and
onions in 1 tablespoon of the butter in a small skillet
until soft. Stir in tomato, Italian seasoning and ¼
teaspoon salt. Cook and stir until most of the liquid
has evaporated; remove from heat.
2. Halve avocado; pit;
peel. Sprinkle with lemon juice, then chop coarsely.
Stir into tomato mixture.
3. Beat eggs with salt
pepper and water in a medium sized bowl until foamy. For
each omelet heat two tablespoons of the butter in a
large skillet until foamy-hot. Ladle half of the beaten
egg mixture into the skillet. Stir the eggs rapidly with
the flat of a fork, while shaking the skillet back and
forth over the heat. Stir just until liquid sets, then
cook 15 seconds longer.
4. Fold 1/3 of omelet
toward center, then roll out onto serving plate. Omelet
can be filled with ½ of the avocado filling just before
rolling, or you can slash the rolled omelet lengthwise
and spoon the filling into the cavity. Keep omelet warm
in a very slow oven (275°) until the other is made.
