I am, however, excited to introduce one of my favorite ingredients: Velveeta cheese. I honestly do not know what is in Velveeta. I don't think it can even be classified as dairy, considering you purchase it off of a shelf rather than the refrigerated section. I am intrigued by it's meltablity but have never once wanted to know what makes that happen. Some things are better left unresearched. Regardless of the scientific conundrum this cheese presents, it tastes NOMS and that's what counts.
Cheese & Trees Omelet.
Ingredients:
ground Turkey
fresh broccoli
Velveeta Cheese (about 1/4 cup)
onion powder
garlic salt
salt
pepper
pat o butter
Basic Omelet
3 eggs
salt and pepper to taste
splash of milk
pat o butter
Brown your ground turkey in a pan, adding onion powder, garlic salt and pepper to taste. Drain (if needed) and set aside. Meanwhile chop your broccoli into small bites.Steam/cook your broccoli in your preferred method. (I use steam bags in the microwave.) Be sure it is tender. Once steamed, add a small amount of butter and salt and pepper. Set aside. Begin you basic omelet now. While it is cooking, cut off a slice of your Velveeta cheese and cut it into into small blocks. Put in microwave safe dish for around 30 seconds to achieve a "half melt" (see photo below). Once omelet is flipped, pour and spread your Velveeta onto the omelet. Add your turkey and broccoli, fold and top with a small amount of Velveeta or a shred cheese if you prefer.
LOOK! Spices! You didn't know I had those, did you?
Browning the turkey. Ground turkey is very odd. But yummy.
Check out the steam bag... these things RULE.
Velveeta ready to melt. No, its not rotting, its the Mexican style.
This is the "half melt" I mentioned previously. A few good stirs will awaken the Velveeta magic
Broccoli is pretty. My children do not agree.
It's got the look.. but will it make the cut?
THIS is why Velveeta rocks my world. Goooooey.
#*#*#*#* TIP OF THE DAY: Sometimes the omelet is made of leftovers, sometimes your omelet leftovers can become another meal! Flip that creative coin! #*#*#*#
My Review:
Hmmm... the meat was seasoned well. The broccoli was all, like, broccoli and stuff. Velveeta never misses it's mark. What was missing then? I really do not know. Nothing was offensive in it's own right, yet it was missing that certain something. The flavors did not engage each other properly. Personally, I was not thrilled. So, my dear omelet, you are the first ever to reach my DO OVER LIST! I won't forsake this one... but one day rework it to make it dance.
Got any make over suggestions for this omelet? Post em here!
