Omelet
- 1 cup corn kernels (cut
from 2 ears) or l (7 to 8 3/4-ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
2 tablespoons chopped green chilies
1/8 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 cup chopped tomato, drained
4 large eggs
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon buter or cooking oil or cooking spray
1/4 cup (2 ounces) shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese, divided
use
Sliced pitted ripe olives, optional

- In small bowl, stir together
corn, chilies, chili powder and tomato. Cover and cook on full
power until hot, about 1 minute 15 seconds. Cover and set aside.
- In 9-inch pie plate, heat
butter on full power until melted, about 45 seconds. Tilt pan
to coat bottom evenly with butter. Set aside. In small bowl,
beat together eggs and water. For each omelet, pour 1/2 cup of
the egg mixture into plate. Cover tightly with plastic wrap.
Cook on full power 2 to 3 minutes, rotating 1/4 turn every 30
seconds. Do not stir. When top is thickened and no visible liquid
egg remains, fill with 1/2 cup reserved corn mixture and 1 tablespoon
cheese. Fold omelet in half and slide onto serving plate. Top
with 1/4 cup of the corn mixture and 1 tablespoon of the cheese.
Garnish with olives and cilantro, if desired. Repeat with remaining
ingredients.
Makes 2 servings.
