omelette.

I usually don't feel like cooking on the morning during weekdays, but today I was craving something savory rather than a sweet cereal. It doesn't take long to make and I change it up every time! What I love about omelettes is how diverse they can be. Whatever you have in your fridge that sounds good with eggs & cheese, then that's the makings of an omelette!

This was my omelette this morning:

nice filling breakfast, complete with my favorite mug!

ingredients
a clove or 2 of garlic (I love garlic, so I always put in a little more.)
about 1/2 cup of chopped onion (whatever onion you got)
1/2 cup of fresh tomato, chopped
a tablespoon or so of parsley
2-3 slices of thin deli ham, shredded up (by hand or slice!)
2 eggs
Salt & pepper
Butter, margarine or oil for the pan
1/4 - 1/2 cup of shredded cheese (whatever you got! I'm using 4 Cheese Mexican Blend.)

how to
1. Take out a small to medium sized pan and put it on medium heat. It depends how big you want your omelette to be.

2. Chopped up the garlic, onion, tomato, parsley, and ham & put them all together in a medium to large sized bowl.

3. Crack in the 2 eggs. Season with salt & pepper.

4. Beat everything together.

5. Put butter or oil in the hot pan. I use our staple, Country Crock's Margarine! Coat the entire pan, even the sides.

6. Pour the egg mixture into the pan, taking care to spread the veggies & ham evenly. 

7. Let it cook on one side for about 3-5 minutes. It's gonna get nice and toasty brown.

8. Turn it over! There is a trick to this. And it DOES NOT have to be perfect! Because there is so much yummy goodness, it makes it difficult to flip the omelette over in one go. I slice mine up into pieces (usually 4, depending) and then flip the pieces over. A LOT easier.

9. Let that side cook for 3-5 minutes.

10. Add the cheese! Put it on one half of the omelette. Stack the other half on top of the cheese layer. Allow the cheese to melt. It may spill down on the pan, which was deeeeelicious. I love grilled cheese.

11. Finished product:

good morning :)

Off I go to teach my Acting for Non-Majors class!
