QUICK! Go get your grocery list!
I’ll wait.
Add cream cheese to the list.
(I’ll wait.)
It turns out there’s more than one good place to smear cream cheese.
Like a bagel? That’s one.
Cream cheese frosting? Why not.
For cheesecake? Getting my fork…
And how about into an omelet?
Yes, please!
This fantastic cheese omelet idea is thanks to:
1.) the brick of cream I bought for a recipe but didn’t end up using
2.) an impeccably timed post (see item #1) from the fabulously funny Eggton who made creamy grilled ham and cheese sandwiches and made me start thinking about all the good places to put cream cheese.
Take a small-ish hunk of cream cheese (or a big-ish hunk, I won’t tell) and mix it in with a little shredded cheese (pepper jack!) – and maybe the tiniest pour of half and half to help make it spread into some nearly cooked eggs. Fold those eggs over so the cheese gets all melty and warm. Then it’s time to welcome The Omelet of Your Dreams onto your plate.
Hello Creamy McDreamy,
I’ve been waiting for you.
Cream cheese in an omelet is so good that I’m at a loss for a metaphor because I can’t stop wiping the drool off my chin and out of my keyboard.
If you’ve got time and/or patience, dice up some onions and peppers or other omelet veggie favorites to include with this cream cheese masterpiece.
Or, if you’re not so good at the patience thing like me, just plop your some left over roasted vegetables on the side of your plate and call it lunch.
Call it dinner, or call it breakfast even! Brussels sprouts for breakfast? I am not afraid.
Seriously. Go make this right now. RIGHT NOW.
Don’t eat it at your computer though – not without a drool shield at least.
Growing up I had to get up super early for school (on the bus by 6:40) so my mom (rockstar that she is) always had a breakfast ready for me. Omelets were one of her specialties and my favorite was with cream cheese, a little cheddar, avocado and a sprinkle of Spike. Might have to make that for breakfast tomorrow. My 16 month old would love it!!
Aren’t memories like this the best? My eggy-breakfast memories are “egg on toast” – an over easy egg on buttered toast, cut into bite sized squares, and my favorite piece was always the one in the middle. Lots of yolk and best of all, no crust!
Brilliant! I have never thought of that. Looks especially delicious with those roasted Brussels sprouts next to it.
I think it’s possible anything can look delicious with roasted Brussels sprouts next to it!
Dinner. Tonight. Best wishes to me.
Best wishes to you!!
