There are few things you can't do in an omelette... Why not pizza?!

My friend EB asked me about a week ago what she could have made with black beans and no tortillas... "Southwestern omelette," I replied. There are really not that many things that you can't put in an omelette... similar to the way there aren't many things you can't put in a sandwich, or a calzone, as proven by my college favorite, D.P. Dough...

This morning, as I climbed out of bed at the crack of noon (Friday is my day off, and it's raining, much to the chagrin of my half marathon training schedule...), I wondered what to make for "breakfast". As always, pizza was on my mind...

My ridiculously delicious concoction of the day is a "Veggie Pizza Omelette". It is so delicious I started writing about it, and I'm not even done eating it (note: that means it's ridiculous). Every other sentence I am savoring another bite of its greatness. Bonus: It only took ten minutes!

Step 1:

Chop and sautee veggies. Small pieces are best for this use.

My veggies of choice today were mushrooms, eggplant, zucchini, red bell pepper and garlic stuffed olives (Dekalb Farmers' Market, $1.50 per can/jar. Go there immediately. I cannot sing the praises of stuffed olives enough.)

I chopped up some "fresh" basil,(I keep my fresh basil in my freezer in a piece of foil so it won't go bad. It is also easy to chop when frozen) and sprinkled garlic salt on the veggies.

Step 2:

Eggs. I used three eggs, two yolks. I throw away one to two yolks per omelette to reduce fat and cholesterol, but the yolks also have nutrients you need, so lately I only throw away one.

I removed the veggies from the pan, turned down the heat, sprayed it, and added the beaten egg mixture. Then I put the veggies in the middle.

Step 3:

Pizza it up!

On one side of the veggies I put some tomato sauce. All around and on top of the veggies I put strips of white cheddar sliced from a block (about one serving size is enough). Let sit for about 2-3 minutes. Then I folded and sprinkled dried basil and more garlic salt on top.

Step 4:

Enjoy the goodness and write a blog about it...
