Ingredients
1 1/2 tsp Oil
4 C chopped Swiss chard, packed (include stems if desired)
1 1/2 tsp minced Garlic
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 tsp Hot pepper sauce, optional
1 C Egg or egg substitute
1/2 C shredded, Cheddar cheese
2 Tbs chopped Green onions
Instructions
Start heating an 11-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil, Swiss chard and garlic to skillet. Sauté chard, stirring often, until tender (about three minutes). Season with salt, pepper, and pepper sauce, if desired. Remove mixture to plate. Add egg or egg substitute, cheddar cheese, and onion to a 4-cup measure and stir to blend. Begin heating the 11-inch skillet over high heat, and coat the pan oil. When hot, pour in half the egg substitute mixture and spread over bottom of pan. After a minute, tilt the pan to let any liquid in the middle flow to the edges of the pan. When underside is nicely browned, carefully flip omelet over to brown the other side. Spoon half the Swiss chard mixture over half of the top of the omelet. When underside is nicely brown (about two minutes), fold omelet and slide onto plate. Repeat with remaining egg and chard mixtures.
