Chard And Cheddar Omelette


I found this recipe in a bon apetit magazine, and it's since become my favourite egg dish. it's easy and delicious. i've incorporated the swiss chard mixture into other dishes with success, and i think it could be great by itself.

Steps


Melt 1 tbsp of butter in an 8-inch diameter non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
Add the garlic and saute until soft.
Stir in the swiss chard , cover , and cook until tender.
Stir in the hot sauce.
Season with salt and pepper.
Transfer to a small bowl , and wipe the skillet clean.
Whisk the eggs , 1 / 4 cup cheese , salt , and pepper ina medium bowl to blend.
Melt 1 / 2 tbsp butter in the skillet over medium-high heat.
Add half of the egg mixture and cook until the eggs are just set in the centre , tilting the pan and lifting the edge of the omellete with a spatula to let the uncooked portion flow underneath.
Scatter half of the chard mixture over half of the omelette.
Sprinkle 1 / 4 cup of cheese over the chard.
Fold the omelette over the cheese , and slide onto a plate.
Repeat with the remaining butter , egg mixture , chard , and cheese.
