Ingredients

1	pound	green tomatoes	sliced 1/2 inch thick
1	x	flour, all-purpose	or cornmeal
1	x	olive oil	for the pan
6	large	eggs
3	tablespoons	scallions, spring or green onions	chopped
2	tablespoons	basil	or lovage leaves, torn or finely sliced
1	x	salt and black pepper
1	x	lovage	spirgs, for garnish

Directions

Dredge the tomatoes in the cornmeal or flour.

Heat enough oil in a 10-inch non-stick pan to cover the surface.

Fry the tomatoes briefly on each side until they are lightly colored.

Don't let them get soft.

While the tomatoes are frying, lightly beat the eggs with the scallions and basil or lovage.

Season with salt and pepper.

Pour them over the tomatoes.

Let the eggs sit for about a minute, then give the pan a shake to loosen the bottom.

Cook over medium-low heat until the eggs are nicely colored on the bottom, then slide the omelet onto a large plate.

Place the pan over the plate, invert it and return to the heat to cook the other side.

When done, turn the omelet out onto a serving plate and serve sliced in wedges and garnished with fresh sprigs of the herb you have used.

Blue Ribbon Banana Cake with Creamy Nut Filli

This was an excellent recipe. Everyone loved the height and restaurant look to this dessert. The White Snow Frosting recipe was missing the amount for the icing sugar, I started with 2 cups and it was perfect, frosted the entire cake. The frosting was stiff and had a tendency to pull up the coconut from the top layer it ended up with a professional look.
