The best omelet ever....

Morning friends!  Two posts in two days??  I must be crazy... I whipped up omelets this morning for the husband and I and just the idea of them sounded so yummy I wanted to share.  And, it's vegetarian!  So Erin!  Mom!  This is something you can make for the whole family and they'll all love it!  Even my meat loving husband (who believes no meal is complete without meat...) loved it and wanted it to stay in the breakfast rotation.  The ingredients are so stinkin' cheap and usually on hand, I know we'll be enjoying this again soon.  Hope you will too!


Here are my ingredients:

eggs (yes, those are green eggs... farm fresh and delicious!)
zucchini (from Kevin's mom's garden)
potatoes (from our garden)
onion (I used a walla walla sweet, but you can use whatever kind you want)
shredded cheese (your preference)
a little olive oil

What to do:
Dice the onion and julienne the potato.  Suatee in a little olive oil until cooked completely.  I added garlic, salt and pepper to taste.  When almost done, add julienned zucchini to mix and toss.  Cook for about 1-2 minutes until it's just heated through.  Transfer to a bowl.


Mix eggs (3 per omelet) in a bowl with a fork and add just a tiny bit of water.  (It makes the eggs fluffier...really....)  

Pour eggs into small skillet on LOW heat.  Do not touch your eggs or they will scramble in the pan rather than make a flat omelet.  Cover with a lid and cook until top is just slightly runny.  Flip if you can.  

Sprinkle grated cheese on top of omelet and add sauteed onion/potato/zucchini mixture....LOTS.  When cheese is melted, slide omelet onto plate flipping one side over the other. 


YUM, this was so delicious the husband requested I make it again.  And since it contains green veggies, I say that's a success!!!  

enjoy!
KHD.
