Bacon Potato Omelet

WHenever I need to get dnner on the table in a hurry, I usually turn to eggs. My family enjoys breakfast for dinner and this recipes combines bacon, hash browns and eggs for a wonderful omelet. Not only does this taste great but it is so easy to make. This omelet doesn't have to be flipped in half... you just cover it when cooking until the eggs are firm. Be sure to follow best practices when using eggs: wash hands before and after cracking the eggs, disinfect counter top after preparation and cook until the eggs are firm in the center (either shake the skillet to see if the center wiggles... it shouldn't... or insert a knife in the center.. it should come out clean).

You can easily substitute other types of frosen potatoes for the hash browns. I have used cut-up frozen french fries as well as tatot tots. Cubed or sliced ham can be substituted for the bacon.

For a different type of salad, toss together a bag of salad greens and add 2 green chopped onions, 1 cup of chow mein noodles, 1/2 cup chopped cashews or other nut and 2 tablespoons sunflower seeds. Serve with your favorite light salad dressing. This crunchy salad complements the soft texture of the omelet very well.

Orange slices or other fresh fresh round out dinner.

I hope that your family enjoys this recipe as much as mine.

Happy cooking!
