There are more than just one woman in my life. I admit it, I love other women than Zo. One of those women is my sister Natalie. This is a special edition called "Cooking for Gnat Brat." Natalie was over visiting with me and she has to eat before 7 or she turns into a Gremlin Pumpkin. Ever seen a Gremlin Pumpkin? Believe me you do not want to! Knowing I had to feed her fast or I would have an adventure movie on my hands I whipped us up a quick snack. All I did was take the classic ham and cheese sandwich add an omelet and man did it make one heck of a breakfast sandwich! Natalie and I enjoyed this darn yummy recipe and I know I will be making it for future breakfasts!

Ingredients:
2 large eggs
2 1/2 tbsp milk
1/4 cup sweet onion
1/3 cup sharp cheddar (shredded)
1 slice sandwich deli ham
1/8 tsp essence
crack pepper (to taste)
4 slices of stone ground wheat bread
butter for pan and toast

In a small mixing bowl whisk together egg, milk, essence and crack pepper till smooth. In a small skillet melt a few pads of butter over medium heat. Once butter is melted swirl around skillet to coat the surface completely. Sprinkle in your onions and let cook for 3 minutes. Now pour in egg mixture making sure to completely cover bottom of pan. Immediately lay ham slice gently down on one half of egg and then sprinkle cheese over ham. Cook for 5-6 minutes and then carefully fold omelet half over cheese and egg, then cook for 3-4 more minutes.

While omelet is cooking toast and lightly butter your bread slices. Use a spatula to cut omelet in half and place both halves on one slice of bread. Cover with other slice of bread and prepare to enjoy a great breakfast sandwich!
