Light Lemony OmeletYou feel great after eating this omelet because you will not feel too full - or stuffed. It is the egg whites that make the difference.Before You Start: Thaw the broccoli in the microwave oven according to the directions on the package. Cook the light lemony omelet: 1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped broccoli, thawed 2 lemons (for grated zest) 8 ounces liquid egg substitute 4 large egg whites 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar Salt and pepper to taste 2 teaspoons olive oil 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese Directions: Preheat the oven to 375-degrees. Thaw the broccoli in the microwave oven according to the directions on the package. Grate the zest of both lemons. If using whole eggs, break them into a medium bowl and beat lightly until combined. In a large bowl, combine the egg whites and cream of tartar. Beat with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form when the beaters are lifted. With a large rubber spatula, gently fold in the beaten whole eggs (or egg substitute), lemon zest, and salt and pepper until well blended. In a medium nonstick ovenproof skillet, heat the oil over high heat. Pour in the egg mixture, reduce the heat to medium, and cook about 3 to 5 minutes, or until the underside is slightly brown. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from the oven, spoon the broccoli over the omelet, and return the pan to the oven. Cook for 2 minutes longer, or until the eggs are set. Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the top with the grated Parmesan. Loosen the edges of the omelet with a rubber spatula and slide the omelet onto a large serving platter. Step 2: Microwave the new potatoes with garlic-herb cheese 1-1/4 pounds medium thin-skinned new potatoes Salt and pepper to taste Garlic-and-herb-flavored Rondele cheese for serving Scrub the potatoes and pierce each one several times with a skewer or a fork. Place the potatoes in the microwave oven and microwave on High, turning over halfway, until tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand until serving time. Step 3: Toast the Challah 1 loaf challah bread Butter, softened Jam for serving Thinly slice the challah. Toast the slices in a toaster until lightly colored. Transfer the slices to a napkin-lined basket and place on the table with the butter and the jam. Step 4: Make the Melon Frappes 4 cups cut-up very ripe honeydew melon 4 tablespoons Midori melon liqueur or orange juice 2 cups ice 1 tablespoon sugar Juice of 1 lemon Fresh mint leaves (optional) In a blender, combine the melon, liqueur or orange juice, ice, sugar and lemon juice. Blend on high until smooth. Pour into stemmed glasses and garnish each with fresh mint, if desired. Step 5: Serve Cut the omelet into 4 equal wedges and place each on a plate. Add a serving of potatoes to each plate, season with salt and pepper, and place a dollop of Rondele on top. If desired, serve the frappes with the meal, or reserve them for dessert. Note: Egg whites come already separated and pasteurized in cartons in the dairy section of your supermarket. Pasteurized whites have been cooked slightly to remove any bacteria.
