Omelets at the Roseberry's
We love omelets and almost anything goes into them! Here is my basic recipe
and some of the things I've filled them with!

Basic Omelet
Start with a good non-stick skillet that feels good in your hand. I have a 7 inch sauté pan that I love for omelets. Use just enough butter with a little oil (improves the butter's ability to withstand heat without burning) to coat the pan.
Beat together 3 eggs with 2 Tablespoons water. Pour into the hot skillet.
Swirl the pan so the egg covers the bottom of the pan evenly. Using a
scratch proof spatula, move the cooked portion of egg to the center of the
pan, and swirl again. Repeat until all liquid is beginning to set up.
Reduce heat, fill as desired, and cover for a minute or so (for me that
usually means when the cheese is melted!). Remove from skillet and serve.

To make a simple folded omelet, fill the omelet one side only from the
handle to the side opposite the handle and right to the edge of the
egg(depending if you're right or left handed). When you remove the omelet
from the pan, shake it gently from the pan, and fold the un-topped portion
over the filled portion. To make a filled omelet, fill only the center of
the omelet from the handle to the opposite side, leaving un-topped egg
mixture on either side of the filling. Remove omelet to a plate covered
with a piece of waxed paper. Gently roll the omelet off the waxed paper,
and with a quick motion, jerk the waxed paper from beneath the omelet. It takes a little practice, but you'll get it!
Fillings: Sautéed spinach, ham and Swiss cheese; sliced turkey, jack cheese and mushrooms; green chilies, cheddar cheese and beef (sliced, cooked ground, left over taco filling...); asparagus, chicken, mushrooms, and any mild cheese.

Breakfast Pizza
1 tube Grands Buttermilk Biscuits
1 pkg.. Jimmy Dean Country Gravy (made according to directions)
3 eggs. scrambled
1 cup diced ham or crumbled cooked sausage
1 cup shredded cheese
Lightly grease a pizza pan. Roll biscuits to 1/4 inch thickness and cut and
piece together to make a crust. Bake at package temperature about 10
minutes or just until biscuits are lightly browned. Remove from oven.
Spread gravy on cooked biscuit crust. Top with ham or sausage and scrambled
eggs. Sprinkle with grated cheese. Return to oven for 5-10 minutes or
until hot and cheese is melted.
Makes about 6 servings

PAN FRIED CHICKEN STRIPS
This dish is a snap to prepare and delicious.
2 T. olive oil
2 lbs. check breasts, skinned, boned and cut into 1/2 inch wide strips
2 cloves garlic, crushed
6 green onions chopped
salt and pepper to taste
Heat a large frying pan or wok. Add the oil, chicken, garlic and green onions. Sauté over high heat until the chicken is lightly browned and tender; add salt and pepper stir well and serve. This goes well with any rice, noodles, on a salad, use your imagination!

ARTICHOKE AND CURRIED EGGS
6 hard boiled eggs
1 16oz. can artichoke hearts
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
salt & pepper to taste
curry powder to taste
Peel and chop the eggs; drain and chop the artichoke hearts. Combine these two. In a separate bowl, mix the mayo, sour cream, salt, pepper & curry powder. Add to first mixture, stirring well, making a paste. Refrigerate. Mold into a mound on leaf lettuce and serve with crackers.

Cookie Cutter Egg Toast
Take thick slices of bread, such as Sunbeam Old Fashioned, or sliced French bread or Brioche; use your child's favorite cookie cutter in the middle of the slice of bread and remove. Brush bread lightly with melted butter and place on non-stick griddle; break an egg into the cookie cutter hole and cook over med. heat until egg is well set on the bottom, flip and cook on the other side until done. Makes a special breakfast for a child who's been sick or needs a pick-me-up to get going in the mornings.

Ham & Cheese Strata
12 slices of bread buttered (day old cheap stuff is great)
1 to 1 & 1/2 pounds of honey baked ham
8 oz mild cheddar cheese (or any of your favorite kind)
six eggs
2 to 2 1/2 cups of milk (depends on the thickness of the bread)
crushed corn flakes
optional - dash of salt, 1/4 tsp dry mustard
Take a 9 x 13 pan and place 6 slices of the buttered side of the bread down (some butter both sides of the bread - I prefer to only do one side) layer half the ham and half the cheese on the bread. Add the second layer of bread and repeat the ham and then the cheese. Beat the eggs and milk together and pour over the entire dish. Sprinkle with crushed corn flakes and pats of butter. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate over night. The next day bake for 45 minutes to an hour (until it is bubbling and light brown on top) at 350 degrees. Let it rest at least five minutes before cutting. This is a great, light but very filling brunch type meal. We typically have it on a holiday when the whole family gets together and we're going to have a big meal late in the day. You can substitute so many different things - let your imagination run wild. Use crumbled sausage in place of the ham, or six slices of American cheese in a pinch when you don't have any other on hand. With a salad it makes a full meal. Enjoy!

BAKED EGGS IN CREPE CUPS
(This recipe is from "Bears at the Beach" Bed and Breakfast Inn, San Diego, California)
This looks and is elegant! You can make the crepes in advance and store, separated by sheets of waxed paper, in the refrigerator for up to a week. (or ready made crepes found in the supermarket work quite well). Serve the
dish with roasted herb potatoes (also good with hash browns, etc.) and muffins.

Ingredients For Crepes:
2 eggs
1-1/4 cup milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
pinch salt
1 Tablespoon unsalted butter, melted and cooled

For Baked Egg Filling:
8 Tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
8 eggs
Salt and pepper to taste
8 teaspoons heavy cream
Watercress, sour cream, Italian parsley for garnish

To make Crepes: In small electric mixer bowl, beat 2 eggs and milk at medium
speed until blended. Add flour, salt and the 1 tablespoon of melted, cooled
butter. Beat until smooth. Heat 7-inch crepe pan or small skillet over
medium-high heat. Brush pan with melted butter before making each crepe.
Pour 3 tablespoons batter in hot buttered pan, tilting pan quickly to spread
butter evenly on bottom and slightly up sides of pan. Cook quickly until
lightly browned on both sides, turning once. Repeat with remaining batter,
making 8 crepes each about 5 to 5-1/2 inches in diameter. Stack cooked
crepes on a plate with wax paper between each crepe.
To make Baked-Egg Filling: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Generously spray eight (2-1/2 inch) nonstick muffin cups with nonstick coating. Line each cup with a crepe, allowing sides to flute naturally in folds. Spoon 1 tablespoon cheese and a sprinkling of 1/2 teaspoon of dried herbs into bottom of each cup.
Break an egg into a custard cup, then slip egg into a crepe cup over cheese mixture. repeat with remaining seven eggs to fill all the crepe cups. Season eggs with salt and pepper. Drizzle each egg with 1 teaspoon cream. Place muffin pan on baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes until desired color. Tent with foil during last part of cooking time if crepes start to over brown on edges.
Serving: Run a narrow icing spatula around edges of crepe cups to loosen, then carefully lift hot crepe cup out of pan using same spatula. Garnish with a spoonful of sour cream and a sprig of Italian parsley.
