The Last Ember Days of Spring

We have reached the final Ember Days of Spring. The whole point of Ember Days is to give thanks to the Lord above for the changing seasons and all that the seasons bring. Spring is a time of rebirth and renewal. Just look around – the world is filled with life.

What better way is there to give thanks than to truly appreciate this time of year? Saturdays might be busy, hectic, filled with projects and errands and so many other things we simply cannot get to during the week. It doesn’t mean we cannot take a moment to savor a new day, and to rejoice in our surroundings. And what better way to start the day than with Omelettes?

Springtime Omelette
Per Omelette
2 Cherry Tomatoes
Arugula, optional
Goat Cheese, optional
Feta Cheese, optional
1/4 cup Ham
1 White Mushroom
Red Onion as desired
2 or 3 fresh Eggs
1 tablespoon Butter
Salt to taste
Black Pepper to taste

Dice tomatoes, rinse and snip Arugula if using, pat dry. Blend cheeses together as desired, set aside.

Finely dice ham. Clean, stem and dice mushrooms. Peel and dice red onions. Place a little olive oil in a sauté pan, sauté ham, mushrooms and onion together until warmed through.

Place eggs in a small food processor. Pulse to blend fully.

Warm butter in an omelette pan over medium-low heat. Pour beating eggs into the pan, swirl to coat bottom with the eggs. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Shake pan, pushing egg toward the center, allowing raw eggs to seep below, until almost fully set.

Remove from heat, fill half of the omelette as desired with the sautéed ham mixture, mushrooms, tomatoes, Arugula and blended cheese. Fold over, slide onto a warm plate. Awesome with toast and jam.
