Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sweet potato, cooked and mashed
- 1/4 cup goat cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup croutons
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. If you haven't already, cook the sweet potato until tender, then mash it in a bowl until smooth. This can be done by boiling, baking, or microwaving the sweet potato. Allow it to cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, crack the two large eggs and whisk them together until the yolks and whites are fully combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a non-stick skillet, melt the tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Allow it to coat the bottom of the skillet evenly.
- Once the butter is melted and bubbly, pour in the whisked eggs, tilting the pan to ensure the eggs spread evenly across the bottom.
- As the eggs begin to set around the edges, gently lift them with a spatula, allowing the uncooked egg to flow to the edges. This will help cook the omelet evenly.
- When the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top, spoon half of the mashed sweet potato onto one half of the omelet.
- Sprinkle half of the crumbled goat cheese over the sweet potato, followed by half of the croutons for added texture.
- Using the spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the filling. Allow it to cook for an additional minute or until the cheese begins to melt and the eggs are fully cooked.
- Gently slide the omelet onto a plate and repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make the second omelet.
- Serve the omelets warm, garnished with extra croutons if desired, and enjoy your delicious Goat Cheese Sweet Potato and Crouton Omelets!
Tips
- Sweet Potato Prep: Cook your sweet potato in advance to save time. You can roast, boil, or microwave it, but make sure to let it cool slightly before adding to the omelet.
- Egg Whisking Technique: Whisk your eggs thoroughly to incorporate air, which creates a fluffier omelet. A few extra seconds of whisking can make a big difference in texture.
- Pan Temperature is Key: Use medium heat to prevent burning and ensure even cooking. A non-stick skillet is your best friend for perfect omelets.
- Don't Overstuff: While it's tempting to add lots of filling, too much can make folding difficult and cause the omelet to tear.
- Cheese Melting Trick: If you want extra melty goat cheese, sprinkle it on while the eggs are still slightly runny to help it melt more evenly.
- Crouton Crunch: For maximum texture, add croutons just before folding to keep them crisp and prevent sogginess.Pro tip: Practice makes perfect! Don't get discouraged if your first few omelets aren't picture-perfect – even professional chefs started somewhere!
