8 large eggs
1/2 cup water
1/2 tsp salt
1 pepper to taste
1 1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 cup cooled, cooked broccoli
1 florets
4 tbsp margarine or olive oil
Directions
1. Whisk eggs, water, salt and pepper until blended. Have your
fillings chopped and at room temperature and your serving plates
ready.
2. For each omelet: Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet until it's good
and hot and a drop of water flicked onto the surfaces bounces. Add 1
tablespoon margarine and tilt pan to coat. Add 1/2 cup egg mixture.
Work your way around the pan, drawing egg from edge to center. Repeat
until egg stops flowing but is still moist on top (egg will cook
thoroughly as omelet is filled and folded.
3. Holding skillet handle in your left hand, pointed at your navel,
put 1/4 the cheese and broccoli on the left half of omelet (lefties
reverse). Fold unfilled side over filling. If omelet tears, don't
despair!
4. Holding the skillet handle in the right hand, take a plate with the
other. Invert skillet so omelet falls upside-down onto plate. This way
you'll have a smooth surface on top.

The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be tracked far back into distant history, certainly as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, sadly, these ancient records were just basic pictorial instructions for food preparation.
Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we find two interesting books published in the 14th Century - one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these are unconnected to the curry that appears on menues today, but rather recipes for the types of food prepared by the chefs of the rich and wealthy people of those days. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods and spices from Arab cooking, including coriander, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes caused a torrent in publications on food, some of which still exist in private collections. The TV revolution gave us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes just like those on this site. |
We hope you enjoy this Brocoli & Cheese Omlets recipe.
