3-2-1 Omelette

2/21/2016

 
This morning I made omelettes for the kids.  I don't often cook breakfast, but we were out of cereal this morning.  If I can make breakfast, anyone can!  Here is my simple 3-2-1 Omelette recipe, complete with photos!  The ingredients are simple.

3 eggs
2 mini bell peppers
1 handful of shredded cheese

Two red mini bell peppers
I started with two red mini bell peppers.  Remove the tops and seeds, and cut them into small pieces.  The smaller the pieces, the harder it is for the kids to pick them out or eat around them.  Feel free to set the seeds aside to dry if you want to grow some yourself.

Put your cut up pepper into a bowl.  A note at this point, feel free to add other vegetables or meat.  I'm sure it would taste great with onions and ham too, but I had some mini bell peppers that were going wrinkly, and my onions have sprouted, so we used what was on hand to save it from going bad.  Peppers have Vitamin C, which also boosts immunity in the winter cold and flu season, so it's always a good option to add in to your meals if you have kids that attend school (where kids pass illnesses along frequently).

Three eggs
Crack three eggs and add them to the bowl of chopped peppers.  We used free-range eggs from Costco.  Maybe some day we can use farm fresh eggs when we have our own free-range chickens.

Eggs with peppers
I made individual omelettes, so we just did three eggs per omelette.  You could probably make a bigger batch if you all want to eat closer to the same time.

Scrambled
Mix the eggs and peppers until they're thoroughly combined.  At this point, normal folks would also add salt and pepper.  However, my kids can never make up their minds or agree on what level of seasoning is acceptable, so I often leave salt and pepper seasoning to the individual eating the food.

In the pan
Pour the mix into your pan.  I had my burner set at 6, so just above medium heat.  You can stir it around as it cooks, or just let it cook as it.  I'm paranoid about raw egg, so I tend to stir it around to make sure it's cooking completely.  Don't stir too much or you'll end up with scrambled eggs.

With cheese
Once about half of the eggs are cooked, or the edge starts to pull away from the pan, add one handful of cheese.

Folded over
Fold your omelet over in half so the cheese is sandwiched inside.

Wrapped up
I sometimes fold it over once more to make it look more like a burrito, and less likely to spill the cheese out when you cut into it.

Ready to eat!
Slide it out of the pan and onto a plate.  Grab a fork, some salt and pepper, and a cup of juice.  Enjoy your breakfast!
