Method

Omelet Directions

1

Prepare the Eggs

In a bowl, crack 3 large eggs and whisk them together. Add salt and pepper to taste.

2

Cook the Omelet

In a non-stick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet and let them cook undisturbed until the edges begin to set.

3

Add Fillings

If desired, sprinkle cheese and vegetables over one half of the omelet. Once the eggs are mostly set, carefully fold the omelet in half over the fillings.

4

Finish Cooking

Allow the omelet to cook for an additional minute until the cheese melts and the eggs are fully cooked. Slide the omelet onto a plate.

Home Fries Directions

5

Prepare the Potatoes

Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into small cubes.

6

Cook the Home Fries

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the cubed potatoes and season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook until golden brown and crispy, about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Toast Directions

7

Toast the Bread

In a toaster or on a skillet, toast 2 slices of bread to your desired level of crispness. Spread 1 tablespoon of butter on the warm toast.

Grits Directions

8

Prepare the Grits

In a saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of grits and 1 teaspoon of salt. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.

9

Finish Grits

Stir in 1 tablespoon of butter until melted and creamy. Serve warm alongside the omelet.
