directions

  • Use a fork to beat the eggs and salt in a small bowl. Beat well, until the eggs are mostly uniform in color - they seem to run around the pan more evenly when there aren't huge patches of yolk vs. whites.
  • In your largest non-stick skillet over medium heat pour the egg mixture and give it a good swirl so that they spread out thinly across the entire pan.
  • Sprinkle the eggs with some of the chives and let them set, this happens quickly depending on the heat of your pan - 15 seconds to one minute.
  • Run a spatula underneath the omelette and slide it out of the pan (flat) onto a countertop, large cutting board.
  • Spread the pesto across the surface of the omelette (if you have a thick pesto, thin it a bit with water to make it easily spreadable), and then sprinkle with the cheese and salad greens.
  • Starting with one end, roll the omelette away from you. Cut in half on a deep diagonal.
  • Season with a bit more salt if needed and serve garnished with a few chopped chives.

  1. Thanks to your clear instructions this came together quite easily. I really enjoyed it. The flavors are quite strong, (especially if you eat it for breakfast like I did) so if you like ‘lighter tasting’ foods in the morning TRY THIS FOR LUNCH! But I’d recommend to anyone to try this, it’s really good!
     
  2. I love Heidi Swanson. Every recipe of hers that I have tried so far, I have loved. I am so happy I found her site (101cookbooks.com). This skinny omelete came together quickly and was easy to make. I only used a small slather of pesto. (It was a garlic scape pesto I had made myself and had in the fridge.) I didn't have any chives so I subed in thyme. This time I used feta. I will be making this again. This would make a nice brunch or light lunch to serve guests (ladies).

<p>My rating system: (I don't like giving bad reviews, so if I don't like it, I'll just not review it.) <br /><br />5 Stars OMG, this is one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten! I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
