Ham & Cheese Omelet Roll

I have occasionally listed omelet roll in my breakfast menu. I thought you might enjoy some step by step photos to see how I do that with ease.

Here's the recipe I use-

12 large eggs

3/4 cup whole milk

4 oz cream cheese 

2 tbsp cornstarch

1 tsp salt 

Yellow mustard

2 cups shredded cheese

2 cups diced ham

Preheat the oven to 350° and line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper.

Put the first five ingredients in the blender pitcher and blend smooth. Pour into the pan

I use the butt end of a table knife to get the corners to square up in the pan. Put it in the oven and bake 20 minutes. Check to see if it's puffed and done. If so, remove it. If not, bake a little longer- not longer than ten more minutes.

I use any cut of ham. Sometimes I can find cubed or julienne cuts of ham at our thrift food store. Or I'll dice up leftover ham. Here's what I used this time. (You could use sausage or another meat if you wish.)

Cut the ham and shred the cheese while the eggs bake (if necessary.)

There! It's baked.

Squirt the desired amount of mustard over the top.

Sprinkle the ham over the top.

Then the cheese.

Starting on the short end, roll it up using the paper to help you.

There it is. Bake it a few minutes longer, then slice and enjoy.

One nice thing about this roll is that it can be made ahead and reheated in the morning.

Alfredo Pasta Recipe

This quick, simple meal can have variations of meat (or no meat at all) and pasta. Follow the pictures.

Put 1 lb of turkey burger (or your choice of meat) in a skillet

Add a tablespoon or two of olive oil to the pan

Add 1-2 tsp of garlic salt 

1/2-1 tsp black pepper

1 tablespoon onion powder

 Fry meat over medium heat until well done.

Add 1 cup of milk

1 stick of butter

8 oz cream cheese

 Chop and stir together over low heat
until the butter and cream cheese are melted.

Cook 1 lb of pasta per directions on package, rinsing slightly with cold water when it's done.

Put half of the pasta in a casserole dish

Spread half the Alfredo mixture on top and
then repeat the layers once more.

Does that seem like a lot of food? Our family scarfs it up in one meal and wishes for more.

As I made this dish, I just pulled the recipe from my head and kept thinking I'm missing something. Now I remember- I usually add 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese to this. Well, it was good without it.

If you go meatless, start with melting the butter. Then add the milk and other ingredients. You can also use raw garlic and onion if you wish, rather than garlic salt and onion powder. Just saute them in the butter to begin with.
