Ricotta is my new favorite thing; it’s so versatile and subtly
delicious. Here on greedy girl cooks we are no strangers to roasted red pepper
either. The flavors of the pepper are truly enhanced by roasting them. And paired
with ricotta, they make this omelette extra delicious.
I usually try to mix the meat and meatless recipes each month so
everyone gets a little bit of something for themselves. In our neck of the
woods, an omelette always has meat in it, that’s the natural way in our family.
I wouldn’t normally wake up and say “I think I’ll have a roasted red pepper and
ricotta omelette today” So this post is very special, in fact every omelet this
month that contains no meat was carefully pondered on and planned just to
create an equally delicious meat free version of this breakfast champion.
Since ricotta isn’t a ‘melty’ cheese it’s more of a hearty filling, I decided
to whip it into the eggs. This resulted in a very very fluffy, airy and light
texture. Some people add milk to their egg mixtures, I find doing that gives
you more of a flat omlette father than a fluffy one. And after seeing the
texture of this omlette I would rather add the ricotta than the milk in the future.
In any case the general rules is the more air you beat into it the eggs, the fluffier
it will be.
The one thing that this omlette needed was a roasted red pepper sauce
on top. I don’t know how I didn’t think of this while I was cooking the thing. It’s
just as I am writing the post it came to me. But that’s for another day and
another time. But if you have any great roasted red pepper sauces I would
highly recommend serving it with this omlette.
p.s this would also make a great dinner aka ‘dinekfast’
