Summer Garden Omelet

I Love Summer for one reason. Fresh Herbs and Vegetables! Only then do I make this Summer Garden Omelet.

001

Ingredients:

5 Large Eggs
5 Large Leaves of Fresh Basil – Chopped Fine
1/2 cup of Fresh Green Chives – Chopped Fine
1 Medium sized Tomato – seeded and Diced Fine
2-3 strips Crispy bacon – Crumbled
1 Cup finely shredded Mozzarella Cheese

Vegan Egg, Bacon and Cheese Substitutes/Alternatives also work nicely!

The Method:

Scramble the eggs in a Medium size mixing bowl until well combined. Add Basil, Chives, Tomatoes, and Bacon and stir well to combine.

Pour into a well buttered (or Light Olive Oiled) Frying pan and cook on med-low heat until you can see the edges of the omelet starting to brown. Roughly 3 minutes.

Add Cheese directly on top of the omelet and allow to cook another 2 minutes. Using a well oiled Spatula, Lift the omelet directly up out of the pan, allowing the uncooked portion to run down into the pan. Flip the omelet over to lay it directly over the uncooked portion.

Lower heat to LOW and allow it to cook for another 2-5 minutes. Cut the omelet down the center to allow any uncooked portion to drain and cook. Check the bottom of the omelet often to be sure it isn’t burning. When the eggs are cooked through entirely, cut into 4 even pieces and serve with crisp buttered toast.

The secret to success with this omelet is cooking it on low heat long enough to allow it to cook thoroughly and evenly. Serving it with Pan fried potatoes with fresh herbs is a delicious addition and can turn this simple breakfast into a nice brunch or even into supper.

Enjoy~
