Breakfast really is an important meal. It gets your metabolism moving for the day. I was a bagel and cream cheese type of girl, so learning to like eggs took some experimenting. I have learned that the best way to eat an egg (or two) is with an omelette.
Now omelettes can be filled with just about anything you can imagine. Today, I went for a pizza omelette.
The key to a good omelette is making sure the pan is ready. I use a heavy, well seasoned, cast iron pan. I heat it on medium. Once it is fairly warm I add a tablespoon of butter and let it melt. Not completely necessary for a well seasoned pan, but it can't hurt and adds good flavor.
Beat 2 eggs in a bowl. Pour it into the pan. Rotate the pan if needed to help it spread.
On 1/2 of the eggs add diced green pepper (about 1/4 of a pepper, give or take), a sliced mushroom, 5-6 black olives sliced, and a tablespoon of diced onion. On top of that, add 2-3 Tbsp of no sugar added tomato sauce, and season with garlic, basil and oregano. Finally top that with shredded mozzerella. By this point, the egg should be mostly set on top. Carefully fold the empty half over the top of the extra ingredients. Allow to cook for another minute to melt the cheese and seal in the flavors.
It's really very good, and a bit different from the traditional breakfast.
You can always change ingredients around to match your tastes. My husband's included pepperoni, onion and green pepper. I don't see a reason you couldn't add ham, sausage, banana peppers, or whatever your pizza topping of choice happens to be. The lovely thing about omelettes is the ability to be completely creative with what goes in them.
