A Tale of Two Omelets
I was searching through some online recipes this morning for ideas that would spice up my spinach omelet and I found a recipe at allrecipes.com that looked pretty good. It said to combine a cup of torn spinach and two eggs with 1/4 tsp onion powder, 1/8 tsp nutmeg, 1 1/2 Tbsp Parmesan, and salt and pepper to taste. The nutmeg sounded kind of different, which is what I was looking for, but I thought I'd check the comments just to see what other people thought. Most people wrote something to the extent of "This is great! I like the nutmeg!" But my favorite commenter said:
"Very good omelet that's god for you too! Instead of using onion powder I sauteed some onion and then added the spinach. I cooked that until it was wilted. I added a little milk to the eggs before adding them to the veggies and threw in a couple cherry tomatoes cut in half for a little color and flavor. I left out the nutmeg altogether. When it was all done I seasoned it with salt, pepper, and shredded Parmesan cheese. Great with whole grain toast!"
I do take issue with the whole matter of deifying breakfast foods, but I'm so glad to know that the writer approves of this recipe. Or at least that they of approve of the fact that it includes eggs. Sort of like what they made.
