Omelette Attempt

Today I made an omelette for breakfast! Sort of. I wasn't so good at flipping it.

I stayed over at my parents' house last night to watch the cat while they went to Vegas (and also bake some treats because my mom and I got an order, but that's another post). So I was looking through the fridge this morning and found these ingredients: eggs, milk, chicken, cheese, and frozen spinach. Perfect for an omelette!

I mixed together the egg, milk, cheese, chicken, and spinach in a measuring cup and seasoned it with salt and pepper. The chicken was leftover from when my brother made himself chicken tacos. He cut it into chunks and cooked it on the stove with salsa. It actually tasted like chicken cacciatore to us, but it was yummy either way. 

Then I put some butter into a saute pan and poured in my mixture. I cooked it over medium low until the bottom was set. Then came the flipping...it didn't work. I ended up with a scramble because the egg stuck to the bottom of the pan so I had to use a spatula. 

So I just let it cook the rest of the way and formed it into an omelette shape. I kind of stayed together and I'm sure the taste wasn't affected so I might try again with anther pan next time or maybe I should have added 2 eggs and not so many toppings. 

Anyway, I enjoyed it. The chicken gave it a really good flavor!

My completed breakfast.

Omelette:

1-2 eggs

splash of milk

some cheese (I used sharp cheddar and didn't measure)

chicken, cut into bite-sized chunks

frozen spinach

salt and pepper

I put my egg and milk into a measuring cup and mixed them up then added all of my other ingredients. I heated up and saute pan, added butter, and cooked the mixture on medium low. This isn't really a recipe but more of a guideline. You can add any ingredients you want, any veggies, cheeses, or meats. You can season as much or as little as you want and cook it to your preferences. If you decide to use frozen spinach like I did I would recommend patting it dry before adding it as my omelette was slightly runny. I just let the water cook out and it didn't really bother me, but it's something to consider.
