Alice in Wonderland Omelet

Chasing the rabbit into the hole made Alice very hungry. The rabbit's garden offered a fresh fare. "Oh!" Alice replied, "these mushrooms look amazing!" She plucked one from the garden and nibbled on the delicate little button. As she swallowed the flavorful little fungus her head began to spin. She collapsed onto the garden bed and fell unconscious slipping into a deep dream. In this dream she was in Joee's kitchen. She immediately noticed that the dishes were unkempt and the floor was scattered with bits of crumbs and a collection of hot wheels and monster trucks. Stepping around the toys she made her way to the refrigerator. She slowly opened the door, afraid of what may jump out from the cool shelves. Much to her delight there were no spooks...just a variety of foods that she instinctively knew would make an incredible breakfast. She selected a few items and began to cook as she had never cooked before. The kitchen came to life, seemingly of its own accord! The fork whipped the eggs without her hand, the mushrooms jumped into a cool bath to rinse themselves, and the avocado split itself in two in anticipation of being sliced. She began to conduct the edibles as if they were a practiced orchestra. The scene exploded into a Fantasia. Alice's mouth began to water. When the omelet delicately floated onto the plate she reached for a utensil to sample the wares... only to wake up screaming "It is MY omelet! It is MY omelet!." She was dirty and moist from laying in the rich earth. Her hair was matted from writhing in place. A hot tear rolled down her cheek as she shivered at the memory of the omelet she never had the chance to try. Alice decided that day she would never again trespass on a rabbit's garden.

May this omelet bring your fantasies to life today!

My Review:

The SHNOZBERRIES taste like SHNOZBERRIES!!!  I'm not sure what kind of mushrooms I used... should my carpet be moving?   Is that a blue dog using my toilet? 

Alright, Lewis Carrol nonsense aside, this was AWESOME. If you noticed I did not heat the filling and I am glad I didn't. The cool mushrooms contrasted beautifully with the warm eggs. It was almost like eating a chef's salad, minus the greens of course. Now if I could get this monkey out of my ear...

Credit for this Omelet goes to SEVERAL of my readers! You know who you are! I am just sorry it took me so long to get mushrooms into the mix!  Thank you for the inspiration!!













Turkey Club Omelet... Leftover series #1

I know for a fact that YOU have turkey leftover. Why do I know? Because the American way is to cook a 20 lb bird only to serve 6 people.. which leaves approximately 389 lbs of turkey leftover... and I am here to help you do something NOMS with it! This is #1 in a series of leftover omelets I plan on making for you. There will be maybe 3-4 depending on how far I wanna push the leftover "expiration date." I am a bit of a dare devil though.

Now I am a little embarrassed... I totally forgot to pick up one essential ingredient for this omelet:  Avocado. Please if you can, add some to yours. It's rather tasty.

Turkey Club Omelet

turkey
cream cheese
diced green chile's
bacon (broken into small pieces)
provolone cheese (sliced)
Italian "everything"  bread
Basic Omelet

Take about 1/4 cup cream cheese and add about 3 tablespoons of green chile. Pop in the ol' microwave for about 30 seconds and stir well. Set Aside.You want the cream cheese soft and spreadable. Start your basic omelet and while cooking warm up desired amount of turkey and bacon (reserve a small amount for topping.) On the flip, spread your cream cheese and chile mixture onto the omelet (reserve small amount for toast) and then turkey and bacon on top. Fold and cover in slices of provolone. Place on plate and microwave omelet for about 15 seconds to help the provolone melt. top with bacon. Toast your Italian bread and spread small amount of cream cheese mixture on the toast. NOMS.

BACON! BACON! BACON!!!!!

Your lovely leftover ingredients

I use a mixture of both white and dark meat.

OH SH&*!!  A SCRAMBLE???

GOTCHA!!  That was my Husband's breakfast!  AHAHHAH!!!

You cream cheese mixture

Shmeared...

I am loving the color scheme! So wintery!

Wow.. is that not gorgeous?

And thanks to my AMAZING "Paint" skills, here is what the avocado would have looked like... And yes I DO like to go that little extra mile for you,  my sweet reader. No extra charge for that. 





#*#*#*#* TIP OF THE DAY: Uuhhh... Yay Holidays!  #*#*#*#

My Review:

Something magical happens when you add cream cheese to food. It forces all the flavors to blend together. Such an amazing flavor combination even without the blessed avocado. A nice way to enjoy the otherwise boring turkey!













Almost an Enchilda Omelet

What better way to start off a snowy Rocky Mountain morning than with a warm chicken omelet with some diced green chile. Green chile's are one of my favorite flavors in the whole world. Their rich mild spicy flavor can stand alone...but why would you want it to when it blends so well with most everything? Cheerios and green chile! Green Chile Cheesecake! Ehhh... maybe not the last one.

Almost and Enchilada Omelet

Ingredients:

chicken
diced green chile
cheese
sour cream
2 slices bacon, chopped.
Basic Omelet

Prepare basic omelet. Warm up chicken and green chile. When omelet is flipped, add cheese and filling. Top with more cheese, a few more chiles and some sour cream.

I used Mozzarella cheese today! Woot! Changin' it up!

Mr. DeMille, I am ready for my close up.

It is always better with bacon.

WHERE IS THE CHEESE????  Oh, oh whew! It's just white is all!

If you look closely, the omelet is smiling at you...



#*#*#*#* TIP OF THE DAY: Allow your omelet to "sit" for a few minutes before eating. This allows the cheese to melt completely, and for the omelet to firm up, offering a better texture.   #*#*#*#

My Review:

Oh you cannot go wrong with a green chile. I think that perhaps they were put on this earth JUST for chicken and cheese. It is a no-fail flavor combination! I am not stoked on the Mozzarella, however. It just lacked the flavor I was seeking. Next time for sure I will use Jack or maybe even a provolone to really bring the bacon flavor to fruition.

Tater Skin Omelet

Bacon. Oh Bacon. Salty, porky, grease drippy, makey my mouth water Bacon. Look to your left. Now hold that image close to your heart... hold it! Close your eyes... and repeat with me. Baaacon. Baaaacon. BAAACON. And exhale... bring yourself back to reality slowly...carefully.... and... good. Excellent Bacon Yoga session! Stretch it out and lets move on.

It is no mystery why bacon is a breakfast favorite. Bacon is one of the oldest processed meats in history, dating back to 1500 B.C. Of the bacon consumed here in the 21st Century, 70% of it is eaten for a breakfast meal. * It's strong smoky flavor compliments almost any egg dish. The addition of bacon even in small amounts can transform your meal. This will be the first of many, many omelet's with bacon as an ingredient.

Read the title, look at the ingredients, and you may think I lost my mind. I assure you when you put this together you won't know the difference.

Tater Skin Omelet

Ingredients:

Betty Crocker Cheesy Scalloped Potato's prepared per instructions on box.

3 slices bacon cooked and crumbled

1 green onion

(Basic Omelet)
3 eggs

salt n pepper to taste

splash of milk

pat o butter

If not previously prepared bake your scalloped potatoes according to box instructions and set aside. Fry up your good ol' salted pork (bacon) and when cooled crumble in to bite size pieces. Slice green onion. Using your basic omelet ingredients prepare and when flipped cover with cheese and add (warmed) scallop potatoes. Sprinkle bacon and green onion and fold omelet. Reserve a small amount of cheese, bacon and onions for topping. Enjoy!

Peer into the eyes of the bacon and let your mind takes places you have never been.

You say ingredients, I say.... you are welcome.

In the final stages of perfection.


I present the omelet before the Bacon Gods who nod in approval of my work.



A slice of heaven.

#*#*#*#* TIP OF THE DAY: If you get a tear when flipping your omelet, DON'T panic! The still runny eggs can fill in the hole and repair the damage. Gently encourage the eggs to the area and pat lightly.  #*#*#*#



My Review:

I was optimistic that this would be mediocre at best. I was pleasantly surprised to find it went above and beyond my expectations. Taking that first bite I got what I thought I would, some cheese, some potato, a little bacon. Then suddenly out of nowhere comes the green onion. It practically exploded with flavor, drawing everything else together in a majestic cooperation. After some thinking, I realized this omelet had the almost identical flavor to a potato skin appetizer. I had originally planned to call it the scalloped cheesy omelet, but after tasting it I knew that was not right. Next time, a little sour cream will make this omelet worthy of a tall, cold beer.
