What Makes It Great: The old-school deli-shop flavors of pumpernickel, pastrami, horseradish, and whole-grain mustard are irresistible-in a package much lighter than a full deli pileup.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced peeled english cucumber
1 tablespoon whole-grain dijon mustard
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon prepared horseradish
1/4 teaspoon salt, divided
3/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
6 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 ounces chopped pastrami
3 green onions, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons olive oil
4 large bibb lettuce leaves
4 (1-ounce) slices pumpernickel bread, toasted
Directions:
1. Combine cucumber, mustard, vinegar, horseradish, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a bowl. Let stand 10 minutes, tossing occasionally.
2. Combine remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt, remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper, dill, eggs, pastrami, and onions in a bowl, stirring with a whisk.
3. Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add egg mixture to pan; cook 2 minutes. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook 8 minutes or until set. Cut into 4 wedges. Place 1 lettuce leaf on each bread slice; top with 1 omelet piece and 1/4 cup cucumber mixture.
