PAPA's "Peter Pan Peanut Butter" Omelet --- Our Kids' Favorite !!!

This is how PAPA's "Peter Pan Peanut Butter" Omelet gets started !


The ingredients pictured are:

- 3 Eggs

- 2 Slices of American cheese
(could use Provolone, Colby, or your preference)

- Handful of shredded cheese
(mild Cheddar, Colby/Jack, or your preference again)

- 2 Slices of "precooked" meat
(if you want meat added: we prefer turkey breast, chicken, or ham...
but you could go really wild and use bologna, crumbled hamburger, diced hot dogs, or even
canned tuna if you're daring enough !)

- 1/4 Cup of milk
(skim, 2%, or whole)

- 1 Tsp of extra virgin olive oil

- Ground black pepper & general seasoning to taste
(we use and love "Captain Mike's Seasoning" from down South in the New Orleans area...
it tastes great on about everything and is not spicy, hot, or bitter at all !)
( Captain Mike's Seasoning can be found at www.seasoningspice.com)

- Pan Spray to keep the eggs from sticking

- Peanut Butter... creamy... "Peter Pan" is preferred
(but you can use JIF, or Skippy, or your favorite on hand.) (My wife loves JIF on hers...
you know what they say about those "choosy mothers choosing JIF" !)

To get started...

- Spray the skillet with pan spray and drizzle a little olive oil in the pan.

- Then let the skillet warm up on medium heat while you mix the eggs.

- Add the 3 eggs, milk, olive oil, and spices in a bowl and mix thoroughly with a fork.

- Pour into the hot skillet and swirl around to form a level layer of eggs.

- Cook till eggs are solid enough to flip over... NOT burnt, but NOT runny and uncooked...
( 'cause it makes a BIG mess when you flip it over !)


- Remove the pan from the heat while you add the other filling items.

- Add the cheese slices and the handful of shredded cheese... and it will begin to melt.

- Then add your meat slices... if you like a meaty omelet... and add more shredded cheese.

- If NO meat is added, you can add the extra cheese anyway for a cheesier omelet.

- Place pan back on the heat to melt the cheeses, warm the meat, and finish the cooking.

- Prepare the serving plate by spreading a thin (or thicker) swath of peanut butter
across the middle from edge to edge !

- By now the eggs are done and the filling is melted and hot !

- Flip one edge over to begin trapping the cheese (and/or meat) filling inside.

- Flip the other edge over the first one and ... Voila... the omelet is done !!!

- Carefully slide the omelet onto the "bed" of peanut butter on the center of the plate.

- You can gently spread a thin layer of more peanut butter on the omelet top.

- The heat from the hot omelet melts the peanut butter underneath and on top into a
liquid sauce that tastes GREAT with every bite !!!



This was the favorite omelet of our kids... and now our grandkids, too !


Give it a try and... Don't knock it, till you try it !


--- ENJOY !!! ---
