Saturday 11 a.m. brunch omelette


For two: Whisk 3 eggs, a splash of milk, salt & pepper & cayenne.
Meanwhile, saute red peppers and onion until softened.
Add rough chopped mushrooms and soften some more.
Scoop veggie mix into a bowl, add a pat of butter, spread around and once foam subsides, add egg. Use spatula to move around so it cooks a bit yet stays stuck to the bottom (no scrambling, please). For example, push some to the side then tilt the pan to let uncooked egg into that empty space. Then let it sit and cook while you place the fillings.
Don't forget your hungry ones. Throw them some cheese, that always works.
Sprinkle cheese over all (on sale store brand cheddar/monteray jack mix) then sprinkle the veggie mix on one half. You can, of course, fill with whatever you want. We forgot to chop up those tomatoes and pick and slice up some green onions! But this is a fall-ish omelette.
The next part was not documented. I get tense and even told Alex not to watch. You use two spatulas to flip one half over. I know there's a technique involving tilting the skillet while flipping but I didn't try it. It was a flipping success! Then you use the spatula to split in half. Perfect portions for two.
We had it with some bacon and our loved hash brown disks: McCain's "Baby Cakes" (formerly, snidely referred to as John McCain's).
Gotta love a luscious omelette! It was so good, can't believe I didn't even break out the ketchup or hot sauce!
