Breakfast For Dinner?

Have you ever tried breakfast for dinner.  This evening got a little cool and the clouds moved in with a slow drizzle of rain.  Looked like it was set in for the night.  I wanted comfort food for dinner.  Hence...what else?  An Omelette!

 

http://media-files.gather.com/images/d858/d424/d747/d224/d96/f3/full.jpg

This is what I did...

4 Jumbo eggs

Salt & Pepper to taste

Chives

One medium Red Potato

Thin sliced Ham Strips

Butter

Mix well your eggs with salt and pepper to taste and 2 tblsps of milk.  Set to the side.

Cut your ham (your preference) into thin strips.  Enough for two people.  Place in a small skillet on medium heat and cook for 3 to 5 minutes.  Remove and place in a side dish.

Cut your potato into small squares and place in the same skillet adding salt and pepper to taste.  Cover and cook for 5 to 8 minutes.    Remove and add to the ham dish to the side.

Pour off any extra fat/grease.  Place one tbsp butter into pan.  Add eggs and place potatoes and ham in the pan over your eggs.  Place in the oven heated at 350 degrees and bake for 8 to 10 minutes.

When you remove your cooked omelette sprinkle with a little paprika and chives while it is steaming hot!

Serves two hearty helpings.

 

You can substitute bacon for ham and you can of course add things that you prefer to have in your omelette.

Try it.  It was DElicious for Dinner tonight!

That is surely right. i went for years and skipped breakfast mainly because I just didn't have time to stop and eat. Now I am retired and that is the very first thing in the mornings for me. Finally I can enjoy breakfast. Thank you so much for stopping by!

Breakfast for dinner is great, however you should know what Chinese think about eggs for dinner:

You eat your eggs for breakfast alone, you share them with your friend for lunch, and you let your friend eat them for dinner...
Angela H. Jul 31, 2012, 1:25am UTC
Now Crin that is very interesting. I always learn from your comments and posts! Thank you for stopping by.
Ann K. Jul 31, 2012, 12:15am UTC
I love omelets and breakfast for dinner is a staple around here. When the kids were little we'd make up funny names for it....Brupper, Supfast.
Angela H. Jul 31, 2012, 1:25am UTC

I eat breakfast any time of the day or night and omelettes are one of my favorites.
I cannot believe I have never added potatoes, a great idea.

Cooking is the world's GREATEST hobby and it happens to be my favorite. There have been occasions when I've cooked a breakfast for dinner or a dinner for breakfast. And it sure is fun to do!
