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!
