Blueberry Coffee Cake Omelet

So tomorrow you could pick up some dried out, crumbly deep frozen and defrosted again natty old coffee cake from your local coffee shop. OR you could take a few extra minutes and whip up this little delight and actually ENJOY your breakfast. It''s your choice...

Blueberry Coffee Cake Omelet

Ingredients:

(omelet)
Fresh, ripe blueberries
2 eggs
dash of sugar
dash of cinnamon
dash of vanilla

(topping)
butter (softened)
brown sugar
white sugar
flour
dash of cinnamon.

Prepare your topping first. (use the photo guide below to help with measurements because I didn't pay attention!)  Put softened butter in a small bowl. Add brown sugar and flour and mix together until crumbly. Dash with the cinnamon, set aside. **Note: I took a few tries to get the crumbly part right, I just kept adding little bits of flour and sugar until it was where I wanted it to be**  Now, for the omelet I used my Magic Bullet. If you don't have one you may need to use a food processor or hand blender or mash up the berries by hand. Place berries,eggs. vanilla, cinnamon and sugar in bowl (or mixing device.) Blend until desired consistency, making sure your eggs are mixed well. Cook as normal, keeping in mind your omelet will brown up to a french toast kind of brown! Fold and top with your sugar crumble topping. Allow to sit for a minute or so and watch the topping melt and glaze your omelet. You can also serve open faced, like a pancake! You won't believe how good this is....



Full kitchen staff on hand for this one!


What you need!

Here is the "guide" to the crumble topping!


About this much butter (1.5 tbsp, maybe?)



Started with this much brown sugar... ended up adding at least double that.


Started with this much flour. About doubled that as well.


This is too gooey! YOU Don't want this!



THIS is what it should look like!



Cinnamon, sugar and eggs in bullet cup!


I was very generous with the blueberries (they were BOGO!)


So it looks a little bit like sewer water... so much for "blue" berries!



Arrghghg... A little chunkier than I had anticipated...


After FIRST flip. I actually had to do 3 flips total as it was rather gooey (thanks the the berry juice!)


*LAAAAALLALALALALAAAAA*


Look at those berries just bleeding with sweet juice! Oh NOMS.

My Review:

Fantastic! It reminded me of a blueberry pancake more than a coffee cake..until I hit the melty gooey brown sugary topping, then I was in heaven. those hot blueberries absolutely ooze a sweet syrup making this a decadent treat! I implore you to replace ONE pancake breakfast with this omelet!

Eggnog Cheesecake Omelet (yes, really!)

I know you all have been waiting FOREVER for something new... and I admit to you that I have purposely not been posting omelet's because I do not want to continue to repeat myself over and over. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, so they say.

I am posting in real time, meaning, I am typing this BEFORE I have made this omelet. At this exact moment in time, I haven't a clue what this omelet will taste like, what exactly I am going to put in it, or if it will even resemble something edible at all. I am headed towards the kitchen to embark on an (assumed) unprecedented journey of (potential) omelet genius.

If I don't survive this experiment, know that I love you all.

Eggnog Cheesecake omelet

eggnog (splash)
milk (splash)
cream cheese (2 Oz)
vanilla (splash)
sugar (1 tsp)
cinnamon (dash)
nutmeg (dash)
crushed candy cane
2 eggs

First soften cream cheese in microwave and add sugar. Whip with fork until fluffy and set aside. Crack eggs into bowl and add splash of eggnog...whip then check consistency. If thick, add a splash of milk as well. Add vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon. Whip and cook as you normally would. The omelet WILL brown so don't be alarmed... cook it up proper. On the flip spoon cream cheese mixture into omelet, fold and garnish with crushed candy cane. Then NOMS. And noms you will...


No salt, no pepper...sugary happiness this morning!


Whipped up fluffy cream cheese and sugar


What will this be? What will this do?? ANTICIPATION IS KILLING MEEEE!


Mom has gone crackers this time..


So far, so good... looks ok to me!


I selected a mint chocolate candy cane.. fresh from the Christmas tree!



And then I beat the crap out of it!!!


It is cooking normally! OoOoOoOo....


Browned up like french toast! Without the toast!


Survived the flip (flipped beautifully in fact!)


Ooohhh Holy Noms! Your noms are very NOMMY!


Let this be part of your Holidays! Adopt and Omelet today!



Don't let the skinny fool you! It has flavor and plenty of it!



*Singing Choir*




MY Review:
Wow. All kinds of WOW. It is really and truly PHENOMENAL. This IS the flavor of Christmas, and nothing (and I really mean nothing) I have ever made has tasted so decadent. I must say that is it RICH, too rich to even finish. This is not a breakfast, this is a dessert to be shared with your loved ones on a cold and snowy Christmas Eve. Make this omelet and share it with your besty this Holiday Season. Make it a tradition.

THIS recipe was inspired by my friend, Angela... thank you for the awesome idea! I hope I did it justice!

I AM HEREBY CLAIMING COPY WRITE ON THIS RECIPE>>> THIS IS MY OWN CREATION AND WILL NOT TOLERATE THE FOOD NETWORK STEALING THIS!!  Paula, Alton, Guy.. you hear me???  MINE!!  That being said, if you would like to PRESENT this omelet, I am ready to be contacted!!!
