MUSHROOM, PEPPER
AND CHEESE OMELETTES
Remember when making filled omelettes, the filling
displaces the amount of egg needed. Resist the urge
to overfill the omelettes or the egg may run out before
it is cooked.
Makes 2 servings
2 large eggs
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 mushrooms (1 inch), cleaned and diced
2 tablespoons finely chopped red pepper
2 tablespoons shredded reduced fat
cheddar cheese
melted butter or cooking spray
Place the eggs and baking powder in a small bowl. Use
a whisk to beat until just frothy; add salt and pepper to
taste. When green indicator light comes on, open
Sandwich Grill and lightly coat with melted butter or
cooking spray. Divide the vegetables evenly among the
four quarters of the sandwich grid; sprinkle evenly with
the shredded cheese. Pour the egg mixture evenly over
the vegetables and cheese. Close the lid and lock.
The red light will come on (it may stay green for a few
seconds). Cook until the green indicator light comes on
again, about 4 – 4 1⁄2 minutes. Open Sandwich Grill
and remove omelettes using a heatproof plastic
spatula. Serve immediately.

dessert that can be served plain or topped with ice

as raisin or cinnamon swirl
2 - 3 teaspoons unsalted butter, softened
4 tablespoons canned fruit pie filling
(apple, cherry, peach, blueberry)

Sandwich Grill. Spread one side
of each bread slice with butter.Top the unbuttered side
of two slices with half the pie filling each. Cover with
remaining bread slices, buttered side up. When green
indicator light is on, place the sandwich/tarts on the
grids and use firm pressure to close and lock the

comes on again. Remove “tarts” and let cool for about
5 minutes before cutting and serving. (Filling will be
