Christmas Eve Omelet

Nathan woke up this morning ready to work on some projects he has been trying to finish up. While he worked on one of them I cooked this super easy omelet.


1 cup chopped turkey breast (I used lunch meat)
1/2 cup onion
1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies (drained)
1/2 cup of diced mushrooms
Cheese of your choice. I used pepper-jack
5 eggs (A small omelet for me and a large one for Nathan!)

Saute meat, onion, and mushrooms in a pan. Once cooked add tomatoes. Turn off but leave on burner to keep warm.
Beat eggs, add a dash of black pepper and salt if desired.
Pour eggs in a thin layer onto skillet. Let cook until the egg releases from the skillet easily with a spatula. Add the sauteed goodies to half of the egg layer. Place cheese on top and then fold the other half of the egg across. Let cook until the cheese is nicely melted.
I used my electric skillet to cook the omelets. It makes an easy situation to fold your omelet and keep everything inside. Plus it is really easy to clean.  Whoever got this skillet for me as a wedding gift, I owe a large thank you!


Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas!
