Cherry Tomato & Portobello Omelet

Cherry Tomato & Portobello Omelet

Directions

  1. HEAT butter in 6- to 8-inch nonstick omelet pan or skillet over medium-high heat until hot. ADD mushrooms; SAUTE until tender, four to five minutes. ADD tomatoes; SAUTE until heated through, one minute. REMOVE from pan; KEEP warm. CLEAN pan.

  2. BEAT eggs and dressing in small bowl until blended. HEAT omelet pan over medium-high heat until hot. POUR in egg mixture. Mixture should set immediately at edges.

  3. Gently PUSH cooked portions from edges toward the center with inverted turner so that uncooked eggs can reach the hot pan surface. CONTINUE cooking, tilting pan and gently moving cooked portions as needed.

  4. When top surface of eggs is thickened and no visible liquid egg remains, PLACE mushroom filling on one side of the omelet; SPRINKLE with cheese and parsley. FOLD omelet in half with turner. With a quick flip of the wrist, turn pan and INVERT or SLIDE omelet onto plate. SERVE immediately.

To ensure food safety, eggs should be cooked until both the yolk and the white are firm. Consuming raw or undercooked eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness, especially for those with certain medical conditions. For recipes that call for eggs that are raw or undercooked when the dish is served, use either pasteurized shell eggs that have been treated to destroy Salmonella, or use pasteurized egg products.
