Bring it on down to Omelette-ville!

Every once in a while I like breakfast for dinner.....especially eggs.  I am not good at flipping omelettes, however.  I thought I could do it in the oven instead, and I was right.  It's similar to a quiche or a strata, but just very thin layer so it as quite omelette-like.  I made a pepper- tomato- carmelized onion omelette for dinner last night.  Here's the recipe!

Green Pepper, Tomato, Carmelized Onion Omelette
- 1 cup diced, roasted green bell pepper (from Dilner's farm)
-1 cup diced, roasted tomatoes (from Dilner's)
- 1 onion, carmelized. (from Dilner's)
- 2 tbsp. butter
-olive oil
-6 eggs (organic if ya got 'em!)
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/2 to 3/4 cup shredded cheese (I used a tomato basil cheese from Finger Lakes)
- salt and pepper to taste

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.  Melt the butter and 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.  Cut the bell pepper in half and remove the seeds and do the same with the tomatoes.  Place on a sheet pan and drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Put in the oven for about 15-20 minutes or until soft and roasted.  Once done, pull out and let them cool, then dice.  Meanwhile, slice the onion and put in the pan with butter.  Be sure not to exceed medium heat when carmelizing onions.  They will take about 30 minutes to carmelize. 

Beat the 6 eggs in a bowl.  Add in the diced peppers and tomatoes and carmelized onions.  Add the ricotta, cheese, and salt and pepper.  Mix well.  Pour into a 9 x 12 an coated with cooking spray.  Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes at 375 or until cooked through.  For the last 2-3 minutes melt some cheese on top.

I totally forgot to take pictures of my ingredients.  I only have one of the finished product.  This was pretty tasty, although, this is coming from the person who can eat carmelized onions as a meal by themselves sooo....

I also made French toast this weekend with the Amish bread that came in our basket last week.  I again, forgot to take a picture, but it was really good.  I put eggs, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon in my batter....and I don't measure, so I can't help ya there!

This week's CSA box on Thursday will have sweet corn, eggplant, green beans, peaches, cucumber, red bell pepper, and roma tomatoes.  Stay tuned!  I am thinking of some sort of Eggplant Napoleon, a green bean salad of some sort.  Tomorrow I am making scallops with garlic green beans with the beans I got last week!  Have a great night, and thanks for reading!
