Omelette Roll

I  love omelettes.

However, I do not like making omelettes.

I fnd them kind of finicky to make

first thing in the morning

when I'm not quite fully awake.

When I saw this recipe at Kraft Foods

I thought I would try it

and see if it would satisfy my omelette craving.

It did and not only that it was pretty simple and quick to make.

This recipe has gone into my regular recipe rotation for breakfasts.

Ingredients

4 eggs

1/2 cup milk

3 Tbsp flour

1/2 red pepper, finely chopped

2 sliced bacon, cooked, crumbled

(just a note - I used leftover bacon I had in the fridge and also added in some chopped ham)

1 green onion, finely chopped

1/2 tsp dried oregano leaves, crushed

1/2 cup marble cheese

1/2 cup salsa, warmed.

Heat oven to 350F. 

Line 13x9x1-inch pan wtih parchment paper,

with ends extending over shortest sides of pan.

Spray with cooking spray.

Beat eggs, milk and flour in large bowl with whisk until blended.

Stir in next 4 ingredients; pour into prepared pan.

Bake 14 to 16 minutes or until edges are almost set.

Top with cheese; bake 2 minutes or until melted.

Roll up omelette immediately,

starting at one short end and

peeling off paper as omelette is rolled.

Place on platter; cut into slices.

Serve with salsa.

Serves: 4

Basil Vinegar

I love herbed vinegars.

They are so easy to make and

they just add that extra bit of flavor to a recipe.

I decided to make some Basil Vinegar

using my purple basil

using a recipe from my

Company's Coming Preserves recipe book.

Ingredients

2-3 springs of basil

2 cups white vinegar

Place basil in jar.  Add vinegar.  Cover.

Let stand in cool place for 4 weeks.

Taste to see if flavored enough.

If it is, strain before using.

If it isn't strong enough, let stand a few more days.

Basil twig may be left in bottle for looks.

Keeps at least 1 year.

Makes about 1 pint.

The one thing I like about using purple basil

is the beautiful pink/red color

that the vinegar turns after just a few days.

It just gives it that extra special touch.

10 oz. condensed cream of mushroom soup

Pour over chicken.  Cover.

Bake in 325F oven for 1 1/2 to 2 hours

Cinnamon Roll Baked Oatmeal

I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day!

When I came across this recipe at Cooking with Karyn

it just looked so yummy that I had to give it a try.

Ingredients

1 cup quick-cooking rolled oats

1/2 tsp. vanilla

1 tsp. cinnamon

1 Tbsp. brown sugar

1/2 cup applesauce

1/2 cup milk

dash of salt

Cream Cheese Sauce

2 oz. soft cream cheese

2 Tbsp. milk

1 Tbsp. sugar

1/4 tsp. vanilla

Mix all ingredients together and pour into ramekin dishes.

(The original recipe did not say how many dishes.

I used two but next time I would divide it into three dishes)

Bake at 375F for 20 minutes.

Top with cream cheese sauce.

While the oatmeal is baking mix together the ingredients

for the cream cheese sauce.

Mix well.  You will want to use a whisk for this

because the cream cheese lumps are tough to mix in.

(I let it sit over the warming plate

while the Oatmeal cooked to help

soften the cream cheese and then

remixed it just before pouring over the oatmeal)

Pour over the top of cooked oatmeal.

We had some fresh strawberries so I added some on top.

Delicious!
