Cauliflower and Feta Omelet

Recipe #301887 | 30 min | 13 min prep | SERVES 2 , 2 servings (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: DiScharf

Fantastic! I tested this omelet on Sunday, when they took a deep breath in the kitchen!It was in the February, 2008 edition of Gourmet Magazine, Ruth Cousineau. There were little bites of cauliflower sauteed in spicy EVOO which gave the open-face omelet texture; and the feta(which I won't be able to use for the residents)lends it a nice and salty flavor. After thinking about it we decided that we would add "crumbles" of cheddar. It is delicious!

Ingredients

  • large egg
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (if needed use more but I think you will need even less)
  • 1/2 medium head cauliflower, cut into 1-inch-wide florets (3 cups)
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • pinches crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta (2 oz, or other cheese of choice)
  • 1/4 cup packed flat leaf parsley
  • cooking spray, olive oil flavored
  • Directions

    1. 1
      Beat eggs with 1/4 teaspoon salt.
    2. 2
      Spray nonstick skillet with cooking spray.
    3. 3
      Heat oil & crushed red pepper flakes in a 10-inch heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then sauté cauliflower until browned and tender, 5 to 9 minutes.
    4. 4
      Reduce heat to medium, then add garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper and sauté 1 minute.
    5. 5
      Pour eggs over cauliflower.
    6. 6
      Cook, lifting edges to let uncooked egg run underneath and shaking skillet occasionally to loosen omelet, until almost set, 4 to 5 minutes.
    7. 7
      Slide out onto a large plate.
    8. 8
      Put skillet over omelet and, using pot holders, firmly hold plate and skillet together, then invert omelet back into skillet and cook 1 to 2 minutes.
