How to Make Ricotta Omelet With Swiss Chard

  1. Crack 2 large eggs into a small mixing bowl.
  2. Add 1 tablespoon of milk or water, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper.
  3. Whisk briskly with a fork until the eggs are light and frothy.
  4. Set aside.
  5. In an 8-inch nonstick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat.
  6. Add 4-5 large Swiss chard leaves, roughly chopped, and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until wilted but still bright green.
  7. Remove the Swiss chard from the pan and set aside.
  8. Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet.
  9. Pour in the egg mixture, tilting the pan to spread it evenly into a thin layer.
  10. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 1 minute, or until the edges begin to set.
  11. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of ricotta cheese evenly over one half of the omelet.
  12. Using a spatula, gently fold the unfilled half of the omelet over the ricotta.
  13. Cook for another 30 seconds, until the cheese is slightly melted and the omelet is cooked through but still slightly moist.
  14. Gently slide the omelet onto a serving plate.
  15. Serve immediately, garnished with the sautéed Swiss chard.
