I have recently discovered the delicious encounter that is an apple and brie omelette. Having realized that many have yet to experience it for themselves, I thought I might post my recipe.
Ingredients:
2 Eggs
1/2 Red Delicious Apple (use the rest to garnish it, or for a second one!)
Brie
Sugar
Crushed Mint
Directions:
1) Lightly beat the eggs with 1 tsp sugar and a dash of mint and set aside.
2) Wash the apple, then dice it into small, easily chewable pieces and set aside.
3) Cut several slices of brie and set them aside. The more brie you have, the tastier, and less healthy, it will be. There's no need to remove the white shell of the brie unless you feel you want to. The shell is completely edible.
4) Heat a frying pan with a light coating of oil or spray and set over high heat. Give it a moment to reach a good temperature and add the diced apple.
5) Shake the pan over the burner, or use a spatula to distribute the apple such that each piece has a side touching the pan and allow to brown (caramelize) along the edges. Once caramelized, remove the apples onto a plate (you can use the same plate to serve later).
6) Add a touch more oil or spray to the pan and reduce the heat to medium (electric burners you may want to give a minute to cool), then, add the egg. You can, alternatively, use a second pan, but why would you want to do more cleaning?
7) Continue to tilt the pan continuously while the egg is mostly liquid. This will allow it to coat the bottom of the pan and solidify in an even (or even enough) layer.
8) Once the egg is mostly solid (maybe just a light layer still uncooked) lay down a layer of the brie slices over just less than one half of the egg and top it with the apples. At this point the egg should be just starting to brown on the underside.
9) Fold the half of the egg that doesn't have anything on it over the brie and apple and reduce heat to low. You should now be staring at a beautiful clamshell omelette containing a delicious mix of sweet apples and melted brie, flavored with a hint of mint.
10) Garnish with mint and thin apple slices. ^__^
