Gallo Pinto Omelet

Good morning everyone! I woke up later than usual today, which is strange because I didn't do much yesterday, so wouldn't that make me less tired? Oh well! Lets not sweat the details. The last couple of days I've been eating the sameeee thing for breakfast. In fact, I'm getting a little bored of it, so before I switch it up, I decided to just show you guys what it was, in case you ever feel like something new, in your case haha. Oh, and of course, I'll have the written recipe at the bottom! =)

So, being from Costa Rica, most of the time we have a large batch of gallo pinto (or rice and beans) stored up in our fridge. This is what I'm using as a filling!

I love cheese!

Just a simple whisk of the eggs!

For reference, this is what the pan I used looks like.

Mixing the ingredients!~

So this thing is like my holly grail. I use PAM for EVERYTHING. It really is non stick! And for zero calories, I'm sooo in!

We're cookin' up an omelet, yeahh!

Add your mix!

I'm always clumsy. Most of the time one side of my omelet will split open like this, don't mind if it happens to you, once you flip it you really won't be able to tell anyways. :)

Taaadaa!

I just have to eat mine with ketchup on top, I know it looks like a bloody murder, but it tastes much better this way, I promise! Hahaha.

Ingredients:

Gallo Pinto leftovers (ANY filling works!)
1/2 cheese (Again, ANY cheese, ANY amount!)
2 eggs
Pinch of salt
PAM

Directions:

Preheat your pan on medium heat. I always like to beat the two eggs first. Just plop them into a regular bowl, mix quickly with a fork or with a tiny whisk and add a pinch of salt. Next, grab some of your left over filling and pour that onto your pan first, after the food has been warming up for a while, add as much cheese as your heart desires, I use about 1/2 a cup more or less. Once that's done plop it onto a small bowl and make sure to spray your PAM nicely and coat your entire pan. You can use another pan for this, but since the cheese sticks everything together for me and leaves me with a clean looking pan, I just use the same one. Test out a little bit of the egg to make sure your pan is still hot, then pour the egg mixture on top. Swirl your pan around to coat it and get a circular looking egg shape. Once the egg is almost completely cooked, add your filling in the middle and spread it out to look like a hot dog type thing, almost? (Make sure you check out the pictures for this reason!) Then just fold the sides of the omelet over the mix and flop (DO NOT be afraid to do this! Just go for it, if you flinch it won't come out right. Practice Practice Practice!) the omelet onto a fresh plate. Smother in ketchup, dig your fork in, and enjoy! =D

If anybody has some other breakfast ideas that they're willing to share with me, it'd be great! I'm always on the look out for new recipes! Thanks guys, and happy eating! :)
