TROUT ON THE TABLE – TROUT OMELET
This is a fine breakfast dish but can be served at any meal. If used for dinner or supper a green salad or fruit mix is a nice accompaniment, while at breakfast a cathead biscuit partners up in mighty fine fashion.
- 2 cups cooked and flaked trout (I like to poach them in butter)
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 6 large eggs
- ½ cup minced onion
- ½ cup chopped mushrooms
- ½ cup fresh spinach, chopped
- Sour cream
- Butter
Mix eggs and vegetables in a small bowl then combine with cottage cheese and beat until fluffy. Pour into a buttered frying pan and cook slowly on low heat until the eggs start to set. At this point pour previously cooked trout on top, add a dollop of sour cream, and then carefully fold to finish cooking the omelet. Season with salt and pepper and top with paprika or chopped parsley if desired. Serves three or four.
