AMADEUS'S OMELET



        The Mozart Festival in San Luis Obispo, California brings performances by world-renoun musicians to the Central Coast area. During the summer, the air is filled with music. This recipe is a favorite and seems to compliment the musical atmosphere.

        "If music be the food of love, play on; Give me excess of it..." from William Shakespeare, Twelfth Night, Act I, Scene I."

        6 eggs
        6 tablespoons lowfat milk
        3/4 teaspoon salt
        1/8 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
        1 cup lowfat cream-style cottage cheese
        2 tablespoons pimiento, finely chopped
        1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped
        3 tablespoons margarine or butter (may use diet)

        Set out a 10-inch non-stick pan. Beat together until well blended but not foamy, the eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly and blend into egg mixture the cottage cheese, pimiento, and chives. Heat pan until just hot enough to sizzle a drop of water, then heat the margarine in pan. Pour egg mixture into the pan and reduce heat. As edges of omelet begin to thicken, draw cooked portions toward center with spoon or fork to allow uncooked mixture to flow to bottom of pan. Do not stir. Shake and tilt pan as necessary to aid flow of uncooked eggs. When eggs no longer flow but surface is still moist, increase heat to brown bottom of omelet quickly. Loosen edges carefully and fold in half. Slide omelet onto a warm serving platter. Makes 4 servings.
