Cheese Pancake with Spinach Salad
Total time: 30 minutes
This is a cheese dish, not an egg dish, although at first glance it resembles a frittata.
Ingredients:
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup (3oz, 90gr) Gruyère cheese
- 3 medium shallots
- 1 tsp oil
- 3oz (90gr) spinach
- 1 rib celery
- 8 black Greek or Kalamata olives
- 2 tsp Dijon-style mustard
- 2 tsp white Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbs olive oil
Instructions:
- Cheese pancake: Peel shallots and thinly slice.
- Heat oil in a small, nonstick skillet or omelet pan. Add shallots and sauté over medium heat until well-cooked and browned.
- Slice cheese and lay evenly on shallots.
- Put egg into a small bowl and whisk well. Pour over cheese and let cook over low heat, undisturbed for 15 minutes.
- When there is a brown crust on the bottom, turn, using 2 plates. (Slide it onto one plate, put another plate on top. Flip the plates over. Slide the pancake back into the skillet, uncooked side down.)
- Cook other side until brown, about 5 minutes longer.
- When done, slide onto a plate, cut in half and serve, spinach salad on the side.
- Spinach salad: Prepare spinach, wash and pat dry if needed.
- Thinly slice celery.
- Slice olives.
- In a small bowl, whisk mustard, vinegar and olive oil.
- Stir in celery and olives.
- Arrange spinach on plates, spoon dressing on top.
