Good morning Yankee!
FWIW- I’m a damn Yankee (one that has moved to the south).
Thanks for the delicious breakfast offering.
I’m having one of my bachelor inspired mulligan soup concoctions... which amounts to most of the leftovers in the fridge winding up in a large pot and simmering for hours. My mom affectionately referred to this as must-go (everything must go).
Those types of soups can often be quite good.
All - I wanted to share something I made the other day that was quite tasty. I was hungry for an omelet and wanted to use up some of the things I had in my fridge. I hate to take the time (not that it takes THAT long) standing over the stove, trying to flip it right, etc., etc. I found a recipe for an omelet that you can bake and it really turned out well and was super easy. Many of you have already been making these - I just discovered it.
Here’s the recipe for 6 servings.I started to cut the recipe in half, but decided to make the whole thing so I had leftovers I could nuke.
8 eggs
1/2 c half cream half and half cream (I used 1% milk)
1/4 c finely chopped green pepper (I used 1/2c)
1/4 c finely chopped onion (I used 1/2c)
1 c shredded cheddar cheese
1 c finely chopped cooked ham (I had Hillshire Farms Black Forest ham - thinly sliced deli - I put about 4 pieces together at a time and chopped
Salt & Pepper to taste
I added 1 finely chopped Roma tomato - not included in the recipe. If I had some sliced black olives, probably would have added those, too.
If you are vegetarian then don’t need to add ham - I would think you could always substitute the ham with bacon bits or chopped sausage. Basically, except for the eggs, milk and probably cheese, could probably add anything you wanted.
Beat eggs and milk with a fork. Mix in other ingredients and stir well. Pour into a 9x9 greased pan (I just sprayed mine with Pam).
Bake for 25 min (or until golden brown - didn’t let mine get too brown) at 400.
I put a little fresh salsa on mine before eating. Had some frozen hash brown patties, so had 1 of those with it.
Was easy and I have breakfast or lunch for a few days :-)
