Peppy Pizza Omelette
cooking spray
1/4 cup finely chopped red, yellow and/or green sweet pepper
1/4 cup of finely chopped red or yellow onion
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, crushed
1/2 cup prepared chunky-style spaghetti sauce
1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
2 eggs, beaten
Evenly coat a 7- to 8-inch omelette pan with spray. Add pepper, onion
and seasoning. Cook, covered, over medium heat until peppers are soft,
about 2 to 3 minutes. Meanwhile, in small saucepan, stir together sauce
and mushrooms. Cook over low heat until heated throughout. Keep warm while
preparing omelette.
Pour eggs over pepper mixture. (Eggs should set immediately at edges.)
With an inverted pancake turner, carefully push cooked portions at edges
toward center so uncooked portions can reach hot pan surface, tilting pan
and moving cooked portions as necessary. Reserving some sauce for topping,
when top of omelette is thickened and no visible liquid egg remains, spoon
hot sauce onto omelette in half or roll. Slide from pan onto plate. Spoon
on remaining sauce.
In microwave:
In a small bowl, stir together sauce and mushrooms. Cover with plastic
wrap. Cook on full power until bubbly, about 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Set aside,
covered. Evenly coat 9-inch pie plate with spray. Add pepper, onion and
seasoning. Cover with lid or plastic wrap. Cook on full power until peppers
are soft and onion translucent, about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Pour eggs over
pepper mixture. Cover tightly with plastic wrap. Cook on full power, rotating
1/4 turn each 30 seconds, until top is thickened and no visible liquid
egg remains, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Do not stir. Remove cover. Reserving
some sauce for topping, spoon hot sauce onto omelette. With pancake turner,
fold omelette in half or roll. Slide from pie plate onto serving plate.
Spoon on remaining sauce.
