Ham, Cheese & Mushroom Omelet

The turkey is all put away – the dishes are done – and it’s the day after Thanksgiving.  I don’t do black Friday sales.  It’s way too crazy!  So I like to have a leisurely breakfast and relish the warmth of the holiday season.   Here is a breakfast that can do just that!  A succulent and savory omelet.

What you need:

  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms  (I like brown crimini mushrooms, but any will work)
  • 1 Tablespoon of butter
  • 2 cups of chopped ham
  • ½ cup shredded Cheddar
  • ½ cup shredded pepper jack cheese
  • 8 eggs
  • 3 Tablespoons butter milk (or cream)
  • salt and pepper

How to Do it:

Melt the butter in a 12 inch skillet.  Add the mushrooms and cook until they are soft and starting to brown.

Add the ham, cooking until lightly browned.

Beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper and the butter milk.  Pour the mixture over the ham and mushrooms and cover.  Cook on low heat for about 5-10 minutes, until eggs begin to set.  Be careful not to burn the butter!  Keep the heat on low.
