'Tortilla Trend' Omelette

May 13, 2022 Amanda Plott

There’s this trend going around right now called the ‘Tortilla Trend’ where you take a tortilla and cut it halfway through the middle and then proceed to fill each quarter segment of it with different things and then fold it over on itself to make a tasty wrap. I decided to take that idea and make into more of an omelette with some of my favorite breakfast burrito fillings.

This 'Tortilla Trend' Omelette is pretty easy to make though it does take a little bit of know-how and a gentle hand when it comes to the folding it over, but outside of that this is just as easy as any standard omelette to make!…

Ham & Cheese Omelette

December 26, 2021 Amanda Plott

I don’t know about you, but we had ham as part of our Christmas dinner and I managed to keep some on reserve for leftover breakfast this morning. This Ham & Cheese Omelette is one of my favorite ways to use up leftover ham. I based this omelette off of a few others that I’ve made in the past that packs an omelette up with as much protein as possible.

I like to sub in egg whites for part of the egg in any omelette. But, I try to keep at least one yolk in there for some color and flavor. Other than that, I love to put cottage cheese in my omelettes because it gives a bit of a boost to the protein and also bonus melty cheese goodness…

Skinny Mushroom & Asparagus Omelette

January 9, 2019 Amanda Plott

I’ve got to be honest. I’ve been skipping out on breakfast for a while now. With school starting back up after the winter break and a terrible head cold running rampant through the house… There just hasn’t been enough time in the day to fuss with breakfast. And the whole point of breakfast is just that… to break-the-fast of the night of sleeping.

They don’t say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day for no reason. It’s there to start your day off and get you in gear for the rest of the day. Trust me when I say that being ‘hangry’ is a real thing. Finally, I made plans this week to stick to my guns and be SURE that I started my day off right with actually eating breakfast again….

Denver Omelette Egg Bites

November 23, 2018 Amanda Plott

It’s been a good long time since I posted an ‘egg bite’ recipe, so I figured it was about due again by now. If you don’t know what egg bites at this point, you definitely should. Egg bites were made rather famous by the coffee giant Starbucks. I’ve made a few different recipe variations.

They’re one of my most favorite breakfast (or brunch) options. Easy to make, delicious, and completely versatile! Today though, I had Denver omelettes on my mind. What’s in a Denver omelette though? Onions, bell peppers, mushrooms and ham…

Caprese Omelette

July 27, 2017 Amanda Plott

It's grocery shopping day, which means that I have absolutely nothing in my house other than the leftovers and things that weren't used up through the week. With a hungry household, what's a girl to do? Improvise!

Somehow one of the dinners that I had planned wasn't even made. What can I say? It's summer and we're flying by the seat of our pants here on somedays. A good thing for fun, but a bad thing for planning. Whatever caprese salad I had intended on making just didn't fit into our shenanigans... so, caprese style breakfast it is...

Herbed Ricotta Cheese Omelette

May 29, 2017 Amanda Plott

Over the last couple of weeks, I've become quite addicted to farm fresh local eggs. Once I tried them, I fell instantly in love. It was amazing to me to see how differently the eggs looked and also tasted. My journey among farmer's markets lately has been an experience that's proving to teach me a lot more than I had thought it would. I've always felt the desire to support local businesses, and farms especially.

There's a lot of chatter out there about how eating local can effect not only the economy, but also (and most importantly) your health. Yes, eating local can be more spendy. It's definitely not cheap when you compare the prices to grocery stores. I've found though, that I have a lot less waste now. I'm much more careful about how I use and cook my food. Portions are everything. This Herbed Ricotta Cheese Omelette is a prime example...
