Recipe: Fiesta-In-A-Flash Omelet (microwave, serves 2)

FIESTA-IN-A-FLASH OMELET

1 cup corn kernels cut from 2 ears fresh corn (or 1 can whole kernel corn, drained)
2 tablespoons chopped green chilies
1/8 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 cup tomato, chopped and drained
4 eggs
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon butter or cooking oil (or cooking spray)
1/4 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese (2 ounces), divided use
Sliced pitted ripe olives (optional, for garnish)
Cilantro sprigs (optional, for garnish

In small bowl, stir together corn, chilies, chili powder and tomato. Cover
and cook on full power until hot, about 1 minute 15 seconds. Cover and
set aside.

In 9-inch pie plate, heat butter on full power until melted, about 45 seconds. Tilt pan to coat bottom evenly with butter. Set aside.

In small bowl, beat together eggs and water.

For each omelet, pour 1/2 cup of the egg mixture into plate. Cover tightly with plastic wrap. Cook on full power 2 to 3 minutes, rotating 1/4 turn every 30 seconds. Do not stir.

When top is thickened and no visible liquid egg remains, fill with 1/2 cup reserved corn mixture and 1 tablespoon cheese.

Fold omelet in half and slide onto serving plate. Top with 1/4 cup of the corn mixture and 1 tablespoon of the cheese. Garnish with olives and cilantro, if desired. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
