Eggs-tra Special Omelette
Click photo to enlarge.

Ingredients:
8 eggs
1/2 cup (125 mL) orange juice
Salt and pepper, to taste
Vegetable spray
4 oz (125 g) goat or feta cheese, crumbled
2 tbsp (30 mL)
each chopped fresh basil, dill, cilantro, parsley
 
Instructions:
To make each omelette: whisk 2 eggs with 2 tbsp (30 mL) orange juice. Season with salt and pepper. Spray a non-stick, 8-inch (20 cm) skillet with vegetable spray. Heat over medium-high heat. Pour in egg mixture. As mixture sets at the edges, gently push cooked portion toward the centre with a spatula. Tilt and rotate the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow into the empty spaces. When eggs are almost set on surface but still look moist, cover half of the omelette with one quarter of the cheese and herbs. Fold the omelette in half and slide onto a warm plate to serve immediately. Repeat with remaining eggs and filling.

Makes 4 omelettes.

Tip: Always prepare several individual omelettes rather than one large omelette. You will find each will be lighter, fluffier and easier to handle.

Suggestion for Complete Meal: Serve with vegetable rice and sliced tomatoes, followed by sliced peaches.
