French Fries Omelet

French fries are just potatoes, right? Potatoes make a great filling for a hearty omelet, right? So why not put to great tastes together. 

On the rare occasion we have leftover fries, this is a great way to use them up. From experience, French fries don’t reheat very well back to their original crisp-exterior/soft-interior condition. 

However, they can be used to make a delicious breakfast the next day.

Here’s how to make it:

Ingredients

1 Handful of cooked French fries

2 eggs

2 tbsp grated cheddar cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Beat together eggs, salt and pepper. Cook in a buttered skillet and flip once. Pile French fries and cheddar cheese on one said and flip the other side over. Serve on a plate with some more shredded cheese and top with a couple of fries for looks.

Variations

Cut up the fries instead of using them whole. They act more like hash browns.

Try curly fries instead of plain French fries. They add a different flavor and spice up the omelet. Try different cheeses and add chopped peppers and traditional omelet fillings.

Would I Make It Again?

By all means, yes. Not only does this recipe use up some leftovers that are otherwise hard to use, but the precooked French fries work as a great substitute for potatoes or hash browns.

Grilled Cheese Breakfast Sandwich

Cheese, eggs and toast go together, especially first thing in the morning.
This basic recipe is a quick one with ingredients most people keep on hand.

The secret- toast the bread first. Toast absorbs the butter differently and adds to the crunch factor.



Add omelette fixings to amp up this breakfast sandwich (e.g. bacon, sausage, onions, peppers, mushrooms and other goodies), just don't forget to keep the cheese as a dominant ingredient.

This recipe is so easy, it made Twitter's 140letterrecipe list. It's not easy fitting a recipe into 140 characters, but this one works.

Twisted Cheese Sticks Recipe

Here's a recipe I am entering in the "day of" cheese competition at the county fair:

Ingredients

2 cups flour, plus more for dusting

1 teaspoon  salt

¼ teaspoon chili powder

¼ teaspoon smoked paprika

2 tablespoons water

¼ pound sharp California cheddar cheese, grated and warmed to room temperature

¼ pound California mozzarella cheese, grated and warmed to room temperature

6 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, shredded

1 stick of butter + 3 tablespoons, warmed to room temperature

1 ½ tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon powdered garlic

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. 

Grate cheeses in separate containers (do not mix) and set aside.

Mix together cheddar cheese, 1 tablespoon water and half the butter and set aside.

Mix together mozzarella cheese, 1 tablespoon water and half the butter and set aside.

Combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl until well combined.  Divide dry ingredients in half. In the first half, add in the cheddar cheese/butter mixture and mix well. In a separate bowl, combine the second half of dry ingredients with the mozzarella/butter mixture.

On a lightly floured surface roll out the cheddar cheese dough into a rectangle, about 1/8 inch thick.

Melt remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and mix in olive oil and powered garlic. Divide in half. With a pastry brush, brush the top of the cheddar cheese dough with half of the olive oil spread.

On another lightly floured surface roll out the mozzarella cheese dough into a rectangle of about the same size and thickness and place over cheddar cheese rectangle.

With a greased pizza cutter, cut the dough into 1 inch strips. Twist each strip and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Brush lightly with remaining olive oil spread. Top with parmesan cheese.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the edges just barely begin to brown.
