Ingredients
- 1 quart cherry tomatoes
- 4 eggs
- 2 Tablespoons water
- 2-4 Tablespoons prepared pesto see note for substitution
- 6 ounces fresh spinach
- 1/4 cup parmesan shredded
- ½ cup gruyere cheese or other good melting cheese
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Slice cherry tomatoes in half, then roast at 400 until partly dried and caramelized but still juicy and tender, 20-30 minutes.
- Beat eggs and water. Spray a very hot, small stainless steel skillet or omelet pan with non-stick spray, then pour in half of the beaten eggs. As the egg cooks, lift up the omelet sides and tilt pan to let liquid eggs roll under. Continue until mostly set, then place pan briefly under the broiler to finish cooking.
- While omelet is cooking, stem the spinach until tender.
- When omelet is set, remove from broiler. Spread top with 1-2 Tablespoons pesto, then sprinkle with 1/4 cup of each cheese (total of 1/2 cup). Place back under broiler for a minute or two until cheese is melted. Remove from broiler
- Top one side of the omelet with half of the cooked spinach and half of the roasted tomatoes. Fold other side over and serve immediately.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- You can roast the tomatoes in advance then reheat in microwave to save time.I freeze small containers of pesto to have ready (and there are pre-mixed packages), but if you need to ad-lib, you can blend a small bunch of basil leaves with about a quarter cup of extra virgin olive oil (or enough to blend to a thick paste), 1 garlic clove, 1 tablespoon of nuts and salt to taste.
