Green Bean Omelet

Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe contributed by ZTeam member Damian.

Serving Size: Serves 1

Ingredients:

  • 2 eggs
  • 2 Tbl shallots, minced
  • 1/2 cup of green beans or asparagus, cut into bite sized pieces
  • 1 glove of garlic,  minced
  • 1 large tomato, chopped
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • olive oil spray

Instructions:

In a small bowl add the eggs, salt & pepper and whisk lightly and put to one side for now.

Heat olive oil in a small Teflon lined omelet pan over medium-high heat (small sauté pan). Add the shallots and garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes, add the green beans and continue sautéing for another 3-4 minutes on medium.

Pour the egg mixture over the green beans and using a rubber spatula, lift up one of the edges of the omelet to allow the liquid which is not yet set to flow underneath. Do this with the other edges until all the liquid has gone. You will see that the top still looks a little runny so what I do is turn the broiler on high heat, place the pan on the top shelf ensuring the handle is not under the flame and cook for about 1 minute. This just quickens the setting of the omelet.

Remove from broiler and put back on the stove on a medium heat. Add the chopped tomato (leaving half to garnish your side salad) to one half of the omelet and using the rubber spatula ensuring the edges are lose. Gently lift the non- filled side and ease it over the filled side of the omelet.

Serve with a side salad.

Grubs up!
