LUCY BURDETTE: I just got the completed cover art for my May book and had to share it with you! Isn't it a beauty?
Now back to food...I was about to mail Christy Ellingsworth’s Dash Diet
30-minute Cookbook to my brother, as they have new cooking/health challenges in
their family. But I decided I should glance through one more time first.
I was
intrigued by the list of ingredients in this omelet. It tastes so fancy when
in truth it’s not. It’s a recipe that turns out bigger than its individual
ingredients.
John agreed, pronouncing it company-worthy, although it really serves two
good-sized portions, three depending on what else is for dinner. So a small
number of visitors…
3 large eggs
1 nice apple (I used Macoun)
1 shallot
4-6 fresh sage leaves
½ or so cup shredded Gruyere
Core the apple and cut it into thin slices (no need for
peeling.) Peel and dice the shallot. Cut the sage into ribbons.
Beat the eggs together with a splash of water or milk.
In a big skillet, melt 2-3 tablespoons olive oil and or
butter. Scrape in the shallot and apple and sauté over low heat until soft and
beginning to brown. Add the ribbons of sage, followed by the eggs. When the
eggs begin to set, add the shredded cheese. Fold half of the omelet over the
other, and serve when cooked through.
That cover is amazing! The sunset, the fairie lights wrapped around and in the palm tree and the table settings really make you want to pick up this book!
ReplyDeleteOmelets are great meals! Thank you for sharing your recipe.
