Howard's Veggie Omelets


My dad's omelets are famous in my household. It is just one of those food items that tastes the best when he makes it. I have honestly never had better anywhere else. We have been making omelets for years because they are a great breakfast item. They are very healthy because they contain protein, dairy, and lots of vegetables.

To make an omelet for one person:

Beat 2 eggs,
Add salt and pepper to taste.

Pour in buttered skillet.

Add
1/8 cup chopped yellow onion
1/8 cup red pepper
1/8 cup cheddar cheese
1/8 cup sausage

Once the bottom of the omelet is cooked, flip one side on top of the other. Cook thoroughly, then eat!

Breakfast Quiche

This is a recipe I found online and really enjoy! I have started to make if for my own family and they love it. I have even started to make it at my apartment, and now it is a favorite of my roommates and fhe brothers.

Breakfast Quiche
-1-2 potatoes or around 2 cups of frozen hash browns
- cooking spray or vegetable/olive oil
- 1/2 cup of Canadian Bacon, chopped
- 1 tomato, diced or 1/2 of a red bell pepper, diced
- 1 3oz can of green chiles, diced
- 7-8 eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup of milk

Peal, cut and grate potatoes (If you are using hash browns, line a sprayed cooking dish with cooking spray and create a hash brown base around an inch thick). Spray pan with cooking spray or brush with vegetable or olive oil. Place grated potatoes on bottom of pan in order to make a sort of base or crust. Cook potato base in a 375 degree oven for around 10- 15 minutes or until soft. Remove from oven. Put bacon, tomato, green chiles, and cheese on top of base. Mix eggs, milk, and a bit of salt and pepper in a small bowl. Pour egg mixture on top of base. Cook at 375 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Make sure to insert a fork or knife into the quiche to check if it is done.
