Everything But The Kitchen Sink Omelet

September 30, 2008

I have always been a huge fan of breakfast for dinner, so when we had enough leftovers for one dinner, I gladly turned them over to Bill to have and decided to construct my own quick breakfast creation :)   Usually when I have breakfast for dinner it involves some form of scrambled or poached eggs, so I decided to switch it up and make a omelet of sorts.  The “Everything But The Kitchen Sink Omelet” was made on the go literally by browsing through my fridge/closet to see what we had “in stock”, since a shopping trip was calling my name.

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 string cheese, peeled or shredded
  • 1 small to medium sized tomato, chopped
  • 1/2 cup baby spinach (I used the already cleaned/chopped bagged salad variety)
  • splash of milk + splash of water
  • splash of hot sauce
  • sprinkle of ground black pepper

Directions

  • Spray pan with non-stick spray and place on stove at medium to high heat (depending on range)
  • Add two beaten eggs (mixed with the water, milk + hot sauce) to pan
  • When omelet starts to form along the sides of the egg, then add in:
    • Chopped Tomato
    • Baby Spinach
    • String Cheese
  • Fold the omelet in half and lower the heat to a medium setting (it gets to be a monstrous size at this point)
  • Upon flipping, I had a minor incident where the contents started seeping out of my omelet and unfolded (have I mentioned I avoid making omelets because I can never get them to flip perfectly), but have no fear, this tastes delicious no matter what shape it is
  • Keep flipping until the eggs are cooked evenly
  • Served on a plate and seasoned with the ground black pepper ~ Yum!

When I ate this, I felt like I needed something else to go alongside of it, so what is more perfect than two pieces of wheat toast?  Well, maybe adding some crunchy Barney Butter to the mix!

All in all, the lesson I have found here is that you can make any kind of delicious omelet or egg creation based on what you have in your fridge, it just takes a little bit of kitchen “courage” :)

    I LOVE your new blog design and idea. Eggs are by far the best way to use up fridge goodies for sure. Or salads. or salads with eggs haha

    Linds, Welcome back!! Where are you and Bill living now?

    Random question – what heart rate monitor do you use?

    If I remember your parents house wasnt that far from Conshohocken, right?

    So totally wish I was creative like this in the kitchen! I just see “stuff” and have no idea what to do. Amazing that you have started this blog and are willing to share.
    Hope the Honeymoon is still going in your hearts!!
    Cheers…

    Glad you all like this omelet! I see that so many of you are like me in that you randomly throw things in with eggs and come up with amazing combinations :) Thanks for all the sweet comments!

    Megs ~ Thanks for the welcome back! I use a Polar F4 HRM (which can be found on my “Favorites” tab too!)… I can’t workout without it and love seeing my heart rate now haha :)

    Honestly, I’d rather not disclose where I or my parents are living simply due to privacy reasons… but I am living around the Philadelphia area. Hope you understand :)
