Salade nicoise

Salade nicoise
Miam miam!

Ok: on the menu for this week:

1. Quiche Lorraine
2. Herbed butter shrimp with asparagus
3. Salmon en papillote and artichokes with aioli
4. Arugula and fried goat cheese salad with oil and vinegar dressing

Tonight's dinner (a concoction of my own):

Mushroom omelette (serves 1)

10 dried porcini mushrooms
1/2 cup fresh baby arugula
3/4 ounce gruyere cheese
1/2 cup egg beaters egg whites

Plus: olive-oil flavored cooking spray, fresh cracked salt and pepper

Spray a small pan generously with cooking spray.  Turn heat to high.  Add arugula.  Cook until leaves wilt, decrease in volume and are very tender, about 2 minutes.  Add mushrooms.  Stir 1 minute.  Reduce heat to medium-high.   Add eggs.  Stir for half a minute, then add the gruyere cheese.  Let cook about 2 minutes. Flip one half onto the other.  Let cook another minute.  Transfer to plate.  Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Total Calories: 321

For those who are confused as to why I ate an omelette for dinner and not for breakfast: the French always eat theirs for lunch or dinner :)  ("Eggs for breakfast?  How bizarre!")
