Ingredients

1/2 cup Southwestern-style Eggbeaters
2 large eggs
Freshly ground sea salt
Freshly ground white peppercorns
2 teaspoons I Can't Believe It’s Not Butter Mediterranean (Olive Oil)
1 8-ounce parsnip, peeled, diced and steamed soft (about 15 minutes)
4 to 5 ounces evaporated skim milk (not fat)
1/2 teaspoon Herbes de Provence (or Graham’s Southern France Ethmix™)
For Garnish:
Paprika
Chopped parsley
Parmesan cheese (a scattering!!)

Yields: 2 servings

Preparation

For the Velvet Parsnip Sauce:
1. Place the steamed parsnips into a blender with approximately ½ cup evaporated skim milk and blend at high speed for 3-4 minutes. You may have to add a little more to get it to a pouring consistency.
2. Season first with the Herbs of Provence, taste, then add pepper and salt, taste again (please don’t overdo the salt.) If you need more flavor add a little more of the herbs (treat it like an expensive perfume!)

For the Omelet:
1. Combine Eggbeaters with whole eggs, fold lightly don’t beat hard.
2. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Pre-heat 6-7” omelet pan, add “butter,” wait till it just browns.
4. Add half the mix, stir rapidly with a fork, also move the pan.
5. Add fillings you prefer at right angles to the handle.
6. Fold both sides to the middle, slide to side opposite the handle.
7. Turn omelet onto plate folded side down.
8. Keep the first omelet warm in a 200°F oven (or over a medium saucepan of hot water.)
9. Make the second and then coat both with the Velvet Parsnip Sauce, dust with cheese, paprika and parsley and serve.
