Day 5: Paul’s Garden Omelet!

This one is my wife's favorite!

1) Crack 2 eggs into a bowl, pour in a couple capfuls of half and half, and then season to your liking with salt and pepper. In my photo I hadn't seasoned mine yet but you don't need too much, so go with a light dusting.

2) Whip it! Whip it good!

3) Drizzle olive oil (I used avocado oil on this one) into a non-stick pan and toss in a handful of diced onion, tomato, bell pepper, spinach and mushroom. Like our pan? It's our favorite for many things and is the perfect size for omelets! Made in the USA! Get yours here:

4) Sauté them for a few minutes

5) Pour in your egg mixture, circling around the outside of the omelet while moving toward the middle. This keeps the omelet well rounded (pun intended) with the other ingredients, because when you pour this way, your inner mixture doesn’t get pushed to the edges of the pan.

6) Add your feta and parmesan/romano cheeses right away so it melts while the bottom of the omelet is cooking. And remember, the cheese is your glue so be generous and spread it well!

7) Now watch for the edges of the omelet to start “bulking up.” This only takes just a few minutes so don’t walk away!

8) Now you‘re ready to flip it! I like the double pan method! Place a slightly bigger, non-stick pan over the one you’re cooking in, and make sure you flip it fast! Ready, set, flip!

9) Remember the seeping/flare from the edges, that you go around the edge with a spatula pushing it back into the omelet. This way you have a nice looking, clean edged omelet.

10) After a couple minutes, you can slide this baby right on to your plate and drizzle on more cheese!

And as always, the most important step in my opinion…ENJOY!
