Omelette du fromage

Overview:

Easy to make and probably a snooty french breakfast ;) I bet, after you prepare this once , almost everyone having it would feel sitting in Paris :)

Well, its always good to have a change in the regular omelette breakfast for us Indians. With flavors of parmesan and smooth creamy french goat cheese,  dried thyme, basil, rosemary and fresh parsley leaves,  omelette du fromage (fromage : french for cheese) makes a filling and tasty and aromatic breakfast. Prepare it or savor it with butter, some crisp bread.

Cooking Time : 15 - 20 mins including dicing peppers and onions. Serves 4

Ingredients :

• 5 large white eggs
• grated Parmesan cheese, mixed with some freshly grated Mozzarella cheese.
• finely chopped onion, red , green and yellow pepper.
• finely chopped fresh parsley leaves.
• dried thyme,basil, rosemary leaves(these can be obtained from any dried seasoning mix)
• salt as per taste ( 1 teaspoon roughly)
• fat free cooking spray or 1 tbsp butter ( as you please)
• fresh french goat cheese( I use "President" french goat cheese. Its smooth creamy, mostly used for salad blends)

Recipe:

1. Beat the eggs nicely in a large bowl along with salt. Set aside.
2. Mix the grated cheese (parmesan and mozzarella  with some seasoning mix of thyme, rosemary and basil. This will help spread the aroma of these herbs into the inner layer of the omelette along with the cheese. With every bite, you'll be able to distinctly taste the cheese and relish the aroma of these herbs :)
3. Cut the goat cheese into small cubes of a little less than an inch. I recommend setting aside atleast 4-5 cubes for each omelette you prepare.
4. Heat a medium-small skillet on high flame and spread some cooking spray on it. You can also use butter to fetch the authentic french taste, but I suggest going easy on calories because we would be adding nice amount of cheese as well.
5. Reduce the heat to medium and keep that for another 2 mins. Now pour 1/4 th of egg batter in the pan and let it set. 
6. When the top of omelette is just a little moist, sprinkle the mixture of grated cheese we prepared evenly over the omelette so that no area is left that isn't sprinkled with a little cheese mix. Garnish with some red, green and yellow peppers. 
7. Keep the flame on medium low to low and now add the small cubes of goat cheese at all places evenly over the omelette.
8. Sprinkle some more dried seasoning mix of thyme,rosemary and basil  to increase the aroma. The goat cheese and vegetables will release a very little amount of water. Let it evaporate for a while and then put the freshly chopped parsley over the omelette. Now fold the omelette into half. This will be easy to do as the omelette must have cooked thoroughly by this time under low flame.
9. Let the omelette set for around 45 seconds In this interval, all the water lost by the vegetables will almost dry up keeping the inside of the omelette soft, mushy and moist by the melted cheese. By this time you will be able to smell the aroma of all the cheese along with the seasoning of rosemary, thyme,basil and fresh parsley filling up the kitchen. This means we are done !!

Presentation:

Serve in a platter garnished with fresh parsley, along with freshly baked crisp bread and butter....

Or... just the plain omelette. It tastes and smells like something you can find in a high end restaurant, but its just at the counter of your very own kitchen ! Bon Apettit !!

PS: I did not cut the vegetables very finely so my omelette broke in between. That's why I suggested "finely chopped everything" :)
