The Aloha Omelet
July 1st 2009 01:40
Happy Tuesday!
So I meant to write this post earlier, but I think I have a valid excuse for not doing so. It was hot. Very hot. And even hotter when you're in a room in a house in which air conditioning isn't used. And when it's 100 degrees outside, no air conditioning means an almost equivalent temperature in the room. And having a laptop sitting on your lap, motor running, heat emanating from the bottom and making its scorching way through your legs, it's very uncomfortable.
But I've decided I put it off long enough. I'm braving the heat. I've donned a pair of my pajama shorts, the lightest and airiest that I have, and a light tank top, pulled my hair back, and sat myself down to give you all another recipe in spite of the sweat that's quickly beginning to develop on my forehead. You're welcome.
So since the weather's been so hot (at least out here in California), why not try a recipe that puts you in the mindset of beaches and iced drinks with little umbrellas, making the heat slightly more bearable? Yep! I'm talking Hawaii! And since I can't afford a plane ticket there, I just get a little piece of it in the morning with my new favorite breakfast - now that I've eaten up my supply of White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Pancakes.
The Aloha Omelet
1 large egg or 1/3 cup Egg Beaters
2 slices Canadian bacon
1 slice Kraft 2% Swiss Cheese Singles
2 tablespoons pineapple chunks (I used canned since that's what I had available, but fresh would be best.)
Dash of pepper
1. Spray a small frying pan with cooking spray. Put pan over medium low heat.
2. Beat egg and pour into pan. While it's cooking, tear or cut the Canadian bacon into small pieces. Place on one side of the omelet. Repeat with the cheese. Top with pineapple chunks. Sprinkle with pepper.
3. Once the egg is cooked most of the way through, fold the empty half over the half that has the toppings. Allow to cook for another moment until cheese has melted and egg is fully cooked.
4. Remove omelet from heat.
5. Shove bite after bite into your face until you look despairingly down at your empty plate, completely satisfied, but at the same time, desiring more of this delectable Hawaiian treat.
It's as easy as that! By the way, to make things easier when flipping the omelet, righties should put the toppings on the left side while lefties put them on the right.
This is so easy to make and so delicious. . . It sure beats just the normal omelets people usually eat.
Okay, so now that I've shared what I consider to be one of my favorite breakfasts (or lunch or dinner), I'm going to sit in front of a fan and cool off and spend the night thinking about my little trip to Hawaii I get tomorrow morning!
By the way, something I've forgot to mention in previous posts: Feel free to leave comments, especially if you've tried a recipe! I'd love to hear how it turns out! Or if you want a recipe for something in particular. I'm more than happy to work on requests!
That's all, so Aloha for now!
