Wednesday
afternoons I work my "grown up" job at a popular local wine
shop. It's quite a change of pace from being surrounded by 5-13 year-olds
all day! By the time I get home it's late, I'm tired and usually hungry since I
haven't eaten since lunch. This used to mean cereal or heavy
leftovers from earlier in the week.
About a month ago I came up with an easy fix. Oven omelets! (Ok, it's probably a less fancy way of saying frittata, but it's too easy for such a fancy name.)
So simple. Chopped veggies, shredded cheese and eggs. And fresh ground pepper. I love my pepper grinder. I have such great memories of dinners around my parents kitchen table when my Nana was alive. She would grind and grind that pepper until you could see it from across the table. I like to think I got my love of pepper from her!
Back to cooking.....Monday afternoon when I get home from work I take veggies from the fridge and a giant onion and get to chopping. I put all the veggies in a bowl and scramble 5 eggs right into it. I shred some extra sharp cheese (or whatever I have in the fridge) into the bowl, grind some pepper and stir. I spray down a glass dish, usually my Pyrex bowl, and dump the egg mixture in. Pop it in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes or until the eggs are set.
I let it cool, put the lid on the bowl and keep it in the fridge, cutting slices for an easy breakfast or dinner after a 13 hour day with a slice of toast or some fruit.....and maybe a glass of wine.
