Omelette roulade
Omelette is certainly the most common dish served in each household. It was one of my childhood favourite dish. Whenever I smelled my mother’s freshly cooked omelette, I would sneak into the kitchen and eat a few bites.
This roulade or roll up is a stuffed omelette with cream chesse, red peppers and rocket salad; a great make ahead appetizer!
Ingredients:
For the omelette
6 large eggs
a pinch of paprika
salt & pepper
1 tbsp of olive oil
For the filling:
6 tbsp cream cheese, at room temperature
1 red pepper, julienned
a handful of rocket salad
Whisk the eggs, paprika, salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 12 inch diameter nonstick skillet. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and cook on medium heat till the underside of the omelette is slightly golden. Carefully flip the omelette over and cook the other side till done. Using a large spatula, trasfer the omelette to a large sheet of cling film. Let omelette cool completely.
When the omelette is completely cool. Spread the cream cheese over the omelette. Then arrange the rocket leaves in a single layer. Place the pepper juliennes in a single layer over the watercress layer. Gently roll omlette. Wrap the omlette roll in cling film, gently but firmly. Place it in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Place 6-8 tooth picks at regular intervals on the omelette roll. Using a sharp knife, cut in between each tooth pick, to get spiral shaped omelette pinwheels. Serve at room temperature.

I love anything stuffed (roulade). Looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely dish. Simple, flavorful, and very healthy! I like that the omelet acts as a "sandwich" to the chevre and salad, omitting the need for bread (for those trying to avoid extra carbs). And your photography is fantastic!
