Day 8 - Omelet

Saturday morning started as it usually does.  We woke late with a craving for tea.  R suggested a trip to Tim Hortons where we would most likely grab breakfast sandwiches as well.  But we started doing a little wedding planning and decided to throw the kettle on the stove instead.

As the water started heating I started rummaging through the cupboards.  First I was thinking muffins but I did not have all the ingredients.  Pancakes were the next option but we didn't have the right stuff for that either.  In the fridge I found eggs, spinach, tomatoes, and sliced ham and decided to try my hand at an omelet.

It may sound simple but I wasn't really sure what the official recipe was.  A quick google search returned a basic recipe calling for:

2 eggs
2 tbsp whole milk
2 tbsp butter
salt and pepper to taste

I decided to do four eggs and eventually had to add another to make up for all the other ingredients.

I chopped up some spinach, sliced some cherry tomatoes in half and sliced up three pieces of ham and grated some cheddar cheese.  Then I tossed all the ingredients in a bowl and mixed them up.  I melted a little butter in the pan and then poured everything in.

The problem is I cannot flip an omelet.  I can hardly even flip an egg without scrambling it.  I was going to pour the omelet out on a plate and then pour it back in the other side up but R suggested I just put the whole pan in the oven on broil.  That was the smarter plan for sure!

The omelet was fantastic and I actually had enough to put one quarter in the fridge for the next day's breakfast.

I'm sad to say that's the only thing we cooked all day long.

In our defence it was already noon by the time we ate and then we did more planning.  We didn't get out of the house to run errands until around 4 and we had a party to get to so we decided to grab a slice while we were out so we weren't starving at the party.

Still - we skipped the Timmies breakfast so that is a minor success!
