Dad’s Omelet

Guest Poster, Musings in Food. I’m a married, mom of 2 who loves the internet, my family & the Lord although not in that order! And I’m stuck out in the “wilds” of Arizona where the schools are great & the bugs are huge!!

So this is my Dad’s own creation. He was a missionary for our church in Peru back when he was young. While he was there he came up w/ this & he didn’t tell me how but probably walked away for something & forgot it! Anyway he came back to the US & met my Mom & well, they got married. (thank heavens, or where would I be!?!) When my Mom was pregnant w/ their first child (my oldest sister & fyi I have 4 sisters total but no brothers!) Dad decided that pregnant women have lots of cravings & so he made this for her w/ jam & bananas totally forgetting that the bananas that he had cooked in Peru were not up in the US @ this time. Needless to say it was a disaster! Mom made him promise to never add things like that to the omelet again. Dad complied although he does add jam, chocolate chips, cheese & marshmallows (not @ the same time!) to pancake batter! And he got me too. I have been known to add bananas & choc chips to my waffle batter. Tastes like a cookie!

INGREDIENTS:

• *2 – 3 eggs per person
• *dash of milk per 2 – 3 eggs (so for about a dozen maybe 1/4)
• *salt & pepper to taste
• *1/2 C grated cheddar cheese

Anything else you might want to add. Like other cheeses, corn that has been drained, onions, peppers, ham, bacon. Add anything that you like in a regular omelet! It’s delicious.

DIRECTIONS:

Beat eggs. Add milk, salt & pepper & cheese. Pour into frying pan that has been sprayed w/ cooking spray. Put onto stove top & turn burner to just above low. Cover frying pan tightly. Let cook on low until done checking to see if done. It will take maybe 7 – 8 min for 2 – 3 eggs. When done add a little more grated cheddar to the top. Take off burner & serve.
