Lazy Omelets

Eggs for dinner on a Friday night? Absolutely.

I was flipping through Skip the Dishes on my phone when my fingers lingered over the Denny’s logo. I was hemming and hawing over whether I should order in a Lumberjack meal or have an omelette.

I realized what a waste of money that would be when I have all the ingredients for an omelette in my fridge.

This was unexpectedly filling. If you serve with a side of fruit or toast, this recipe could easily feed two people.

Ingredients

3 large eggs
1 cup of sliced grape tomatoes
1 cup of zucchini
1.5 cups of summer sausage
1.5 cups of spinach
1 cup of white or green onions – diced
1 cup of Gouda cheese
Olive oil or vegetable oil
Spices: salt, pepper, garlic, basil

Preparation

Using a skillet, heat up some olive oil or vegetable oil on medium heat.
Add in the onions and sausage and cook until sausage turns slightly brown. Add your choice of spices in this step.
Add in tomatoes, zucchini and spinach. Let cook 2-3 minutes.
Using a separate bowl, crack the eggs and beat with a whisk. You can add some milk but it isn’t necessary.
Add the egg mixture to the skillet and mix with a wooden spoon.
In the pictures below, you can see that I left the eggs on the bottom resulting in a “lazy half omelette”.
Cook until the egg mixture is fully cooked or lightly brown.
Top off with shredded Gouda cheese. Add more spices if desired – I topped this off with basil and a bit of garlic salt.
Optional: serve with toast or a bowl of fruit.

Enjoy!
