CAJUN OMELET
In many parts of the world, omelets are eaten as a light dinner, as opposed to a heavy breakfast. The following recipe will serve as either, but keep in mind that it is a very hearty version. You can make a lighter version using egg substitute, like Egg Beaters or egg whites only, turkey or tofu "sausage" and soy cheese.
What you need:
4 large fresh eggs
1 Med sweet onion, chopped
1 Med Green or Red bell pepper, chopped
3 links of any mild or hot sausage, cubed or chopped into small pieces
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 tsp. Cajun seasoning with an extra shake of cayenne pepper added
Salt and Pepper
Oil for sauteing
Shredded mild cheese
In a non-stick skillet, saute the garlic, peppers, onion and sausage,along with the cajun seasoning, until sausage is well done, stirring frequently. Lower the heat to medium.
Beat the eggs in a bowl,adding about a Tbsp. of cold water. Pour eggs over the sausage/onion mixture and cook until eggs begin to set. Spread cheese on top and fold over. Flip once and allow to finish cooking.
This omelet will serve two. Serve hot omelet with grits or hash browns,toast or biscuits and fresh sliced tomatoes or fresh fruit. Hot coffee and cold milk round out the meal.
