Belated Breakfast Burrito

Start heating some olive oil in a pan.

I pulled out bacon, onions, and garlic for the egg mixture.

I started sauteeing the onions first and then I threw the bacon and the garlic in as well.

Add the eggs…

Scrambled the eggs some and then I added sliced tomatoes at the last second…this pic is after I flipped the egg patty.

Drop in the egg mixture and wrap it all ups$

Served it up with some bagel thins spread with craisin walnut cream cheese and banana slices. Had a nice cup of coffee to accompany the meal since I can’t go a morning without my cup (or two).

I chose to keep the spinach fresh in the wrap because the buttery crunch of the spinach adds much more texture. Also, the spinach helps take on some of the juices of the egg mixture keeping the wrap from being too moist.

So what did y’all have for breakfast?
Fashion sometime soon =D

Missed this.

Omelette

I haven’t been able to get some snaps of myself out and about. Drove to Richmond the other day with my Aunt and decided to wear my thrifted Christian Dior sweater, but never found the right opportunity to put that self-timer on and own the sidewalk. Work has been mentally bogging down on me. The holiday season means completely busy for us restaurant workers. Remember the accepted norm for tipping is 18% y’all! 20% is my standard. This is how some of us make our living so help a server out$
In the meantime, I snapped some photos of the omelette I made this morning. I figure a little cooking ain’t never hurt nobody =].

Starts with an egg, egg white, shredded cheese, shallots, sweet onion, garlic, and pagan ham.
I’ve taken up using egg whites to help fluff up my omelettes because it makes a carton of eggs last a lot longer. It also helps lower the cholesterol and fat content.

Look at that shallot..it looks like a butt. haha. anyway…shallots for me are like a softer flavored onion. They remind me of garlic (and butts) sometimes because they come clumped up like this.

Heat up some olive oil in your sautée pan and drop the sliced sweet onions in. I should’ve added the ham at this point to let it salt up the onion but I sprinkled some kosher salt over it.


DSC00673After the onions cooked down for a bit I added the rest of the pre-egg ingredients. Garlic, shallots, and ham. No need for salt at this point with that salty ham in thurr.

I cooked it down until the purple was just about gone from the shallots. The food starts to break down and take in that oil making them veggies have a slight crunch. The oil is what keeps ‘em nice and juicy though. Added bonus about olive oil that not many people know, polyunsaturated fats and monounsaturated fats actually break down the saturated fats in your system clearing up them veins of cholesterol.

I then added the eggs and egg whites. let that cook over for a second then I sprinkled the cheese all over.

Cooked it until the cheese melted before I tried to flip it all over.

Flip!
Almost done. Now just some presentation.

Savory omelette with a nice fatty cup of coffee and some delicious Challah bread. Smattered with Sweet Baby Ray’s and Ketchup.





Hope y’all are nice and fashionable these chilly days. Scarf it up$
