Omlette With Potato


The beautiful lovely Kanchana from Married to a Desi is hosting Weekend breakfast blogging event OMELETTE. This is my contribution for her event.

The event was started by Dr.Nandita Iyer of Saffrron Trail.

Let me see what can i say about this omelette. Nothing much. Actually it is my MIL make this omlette when she have left over potatoes when my hubby and his brother were small.

So when my daughter stayed in their place when she was younger ( well to be honest she always wanted to stay with her Oma ( that is what she calls her grandmother) when she was younger as you know kids love their grandmothers. She would still go and stay there now ,but she have too much school work. MIL used to make this for her and after a while i started also making this for my daughter as she love to have this omlette.

You can add any filling you want. I made this for my daughter so NO VEGETABLES as she dislike most of them.
If i was making it for myself i would have added few slice of mushroo, onions or capsicum etc....for reall carnivores they can add ham etc :-))

Eggs and potato in the pan

This is what my daughter had for dinner this evening :-)

Ingridients
2 eggs
1 large Potato cooked and fried in a bit of oil
1 slice of cheese
Butter or oil for frying.
Salt and pepper to your taste

Crack the eggs into a small bowl and whisk.

Heat the oil or butter in a non-stick frying pan and pour in the eggs.
Add the potatoes to it. Cover and cook till the eggs are almost done, then add the slice of chees.
When it is melted. Remove the omlette to a plate and serve.
If you want you can turn the omelette upside down too then both the sides are crisp and then add the cheese.

My kid is also fussy about eating veggies, rice and everything except chocolate. Ofcourse it runs in his genes. He gets it from his mom. But I love eggs and potatoes. This is indeed a great combination. Nice entry for the event.
