"Hey Mom......

....could you make me one of your oven omelets?"

"Sure. What would you like in it?"

"Um, whatever you have that's ready out in the garden."

"Broccoli, maybe?"

"Yummmm.  Do you have any spinach?"

"Maybe."

"Do you have any asparagus?"

"I'm not sure.  I'll look.  Would you like some cheese with it?"

"Mmmm, goat's cheese!"

Yup, I can do that.

 

 

Individual Oven Omelets

Spray small, single-serving quiche dish (or something similar) with nonstick spray, preheat oven to 375F

2 eggs, beaten

Stir in 1/2 Tablespoon of half & half cream or milk

Coarsely chop about a half cup of veggies of choice (This one has broccoli, asparagus and spinach.  Another favorite is zucchini, tomato & basil.)

2-3 tablespoons of crumbled or shredded cheese of choice (chevre, cheddar, feta, parmesan, Swiss, etc.)

Add veggies and cheese to egg mixture, stirring lightly to mix.  Pour into quiche dish.

Bake about 30 minutes.

-------------------

Eat for breakfast. 

Then, if you are incredibly lucky and have the day off and the sky looks like this for one of the first times all summer:

...drive to Stowe for browsing and dining, and then drive home through Smuggler's Notch. 

 

Homemade ice cream, not from Ben & Jerry's, but a place called I.C. Scoops in Stowe.

 

Mine was ginger-peach.

Yummmmmm.

The ice-cream and omelet looks extremely yummy!

Thanks for sharing the recipe! Have to get my 4yo niece eating veggies!

[Nora]

OK, that's dinner tonight. The omelet, not the ice cream.

[Kim]

Stowe is one of my all time places to visit. :) Thanks for the recipe!

[Elizabeth]

I hear there is a birthday coming up. Since I'm leaving town for a week or so, sending greetings today.
I haven't heard the name Smugglers Notch in about 35 years, but it brings back wonderful memories of my first ski trip at Stowe when I was a wee one.

[margene]

That might be the most perfect day ever!!

[Carole]

That omelet sounds great. And you don't have to cook the veggies first? Even better!

[Stephanie]

I was just staring at the buttload of greens from our CSA and garden and thinking about what to make for dinner. I was thinking frittata, but this is so much easier! Oven omelets for dinner tonight!

[Mary K. in Rockport]

Stowe -- one of my favorite places in the world. But it is kinda far from the ocean.

[gayle]

Oven omelets look divine. I usually make frittatas, but the individual serving idea would let me have mushrooms. (Husband won't touch mushrooms. Ever.)

[Patty]

Yum...thank-you, thank-you, thank-you. Oven omlettes all around!

[(formerly) no-blog-rachel]

You certainly know how to live, Norma!

What a cute post!! Ginger peach would have been my choice too. Sounds delicious. Oh, and I'm sooooooo making that oven omlete!!!!

[claudia]

Mmmm. Baked omelete. Easy enough for even ME to make.

[alice]

Thanks for the recipe. I just had annoying dental work and need more soft-food recipes incorporating seasonal vegetables (how can I avoid local vegetables this time of year?).

And ginger peach....ginger peach tea is one of my favorites, so I would imagine that the ice cream is sublime.

[Robby]

She knits, she cooks, she can identify divine food in the wild. The NEW renaissance woman! Off to forage in the veggie drawer.

[kmkat]

We are currently drowning in home-grown eggs (I'm sure there is a better descriptor but it escapes me right now since I haven't had my coffee yet). That oven omelet thingie might be just the ticket for dinner tonight. Thanks!

[Cheryl S.]

Oh, yummy! I like the individual serving thing for the omelette.

[jodi]

Oh, Norma, even though I don't eat eggs or cheese that omelette looks gorgeous. I'm totally making those for everyone else next time we have overnight guests.

[Sandra]

yum. so much easier than trying to feed a large group using a fry pan...

[Seanna Lea]

Sunday is National Ice Cream Day, so you might want to get another scoop of that deliciousness then!

[tayloe]

Thanks for the recipe-looking forward to making it !

[Beebs]

Certainly a day made in Heaven.
Thanks for the great recipe!

[Doris]

Sounds like a wonderful day! And the omelet looks delicious. I will have to try that recipe soon.

[Kym]

My absolute favorite kind of day! :-)
And those veggies! Mmmmmmmmm!aa

[Cookie]

Yummy!

Since ice cream day is coming, I think I'll bake some peaches with some ginger and have that over ice cream. It won't be the same, but you mailing me that ice cream wouldn't work well.

xo

[Renee]

Oh, that is the GOOD life! :)

[Carol Cousins-Tyler]

I am so green with envy! The omelet looks scrumptious and the ice cream is to die for! About 10 years ago, while visiting Vt., we came home through Smuggler's Notch. Great trip and beautiful country! Lucky you! Carol

[MommyKnits Jen]

I make a similar dish and my favorite is leftover salmon and asparagus. Yum! If you assemble it the night before and leave it in the fridge overnight it tastes even better and you don't need a lot of salmon to get the flavor all throughout.

Now I need to make salmon for dinner and ice crem for dessert tonight!

[Andrea]

Man alive, that's hard to look at when I'm at work and nowhere near my oven, freezer, or farmer's market (since I don't garden, or at least I didn't this year). Yum!

[Jean E.]

The omelet sounds very good; I must try it. I am making vanilla ice cream right now! The current Fine Cooking magazine has a great recipe, as does the Pioneer woman ( her blackberry is amazing!)

[Birdsong]

Breakfast? You just solved dinner for me! Now, I'm off to spin for a few hours with my grrls and a clear conscience.

[Jan]

Mmmmm. Norma, you are a delicious oven omelet!!! Thanks!

[elizabeth a airhart]
