Day 1...Omelet Time

Spinach, mushroom and cheese omelet
Today is the day that I am officially  starting this blog! This morning I decided to something simple but delicious. Omelets are one of my favorite breakfasts so I decided this morning I would show you all one of my favorites.

Feeds 1             Time: 7 minutes
Ingredients
2 eggs
1/3 cup cut up mushrooms
1/2 cup spinach leaves
1/3 cup diced onions or 1 tsp. dried onion
1/3 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese
2 tsp. butter
  1. Heat pan and 1 Tbs. butter. Wait until butter melts
  2. Sauté mushrooms and diced onion. Then add spinach leaves. Cover the pan with a top to allow the spinach leaves to cook and shrink.
  3. Pour the mushrooms, onions, and spinach leaves into a bowl.
  4. Crack eggs into a separate bowl and stir with a fork until the whole yolk has been broken
  5. Add remaining butter into the pan. Pour the eggs into the pan. Every 20 seconds pick up pan and tilt to allow the liquid congealing on the top to move to the edges.
  6. Once most of the liquid on the top is gone, flip the omelet
  7. Take onion, mushroom, spinach mix and pour on the left or right side of the egg. Add the cheese and then flip the empty side of the egg on top of the condiments.Flip one more time after 10 seconds to ensure both sides are cooked.
  8. Take plate and put omelet on it. Enjoy!
This is how I love making omelets and have found that making the insides and the outside separate ensures that the omelet stays together. Next time I will be adding goat cheese to the omelet instead of Monterey jack cheese. Have any good ideas on what else I should try in my omelet? I am thinking about going crazy this week with omelet making and adding numerous veggies. If you want to see any combinations, tell me! Tonight stay posted for dinner!
