i am not a cook. i am a lot of things, but a creative chef is not one of them. nevertheless, i have one specialty in the kitchen...breakfast. something about waking up in the morning, the start of a new day, and smelling fresh coffee brewing makes the (very small) chef in me want to whip up a delicious dish. so for my esf project i surprised my roommates and cooked the perfect omelette. 6 eggs, diced onion, fresh spinach, mixed shredded cheese, sundried tomatoes, and honey turkey hmm hmmm delicioso!






so after i had all of my ingredients so nicely placed in bowls, i fired up the stove and prepared to cook with two pans a frying, ambitious, i know. my mom taught me to grease pans with a little bit of olive oil instead of butter, so after greasing both pans i began sizzling the onions. once they began to become translucent i added the spinach (it seems like a lot of spinach but once it cooks, boy do those leaves shrink!).

next i added the turkey and the sundried tomatoes to the spinach and onions. allowing the ingredients to blend, and creating quite a colorful arrangement!

now i turned to my second pan...pouring the soupy scrambled eggs in...after a minute or so, i sprinkled the cheese on top of the eggs *side note* it was awesome cooking with 6 eggs! i don't have a million different sizes and styles of pans so usually with a 2 egg omelette, the pan i use is too big and causes the eggs to be flatter and therefore, i have the tendency to turn it into a scramble. with 6 eggs it was much easier to create FLUFFY omelettes!
finally, combining the ingredients!


after a little more sizzle, it was time to flip! at this point, my roommates were completely enthralled and very impressed (it is extremely rare for them to see me in the kitchen!) moment of truth, with an audience and only one chance to make the perfect omelette, i twirled my spatula and slowly began to lift my creation...
VOILA!

slicing the omlette into 3's, and carefully moving them onto plate, i poured myself a glass of juice (and yes, that is a vodka bottle in the background...) and sat down to enjoy breakfast :)

apparently, it was good :) now time for dishes...who's on clean up?? ;)
