Open Face Omelette
I was never good at making a traditional omelette so I created this Open Face Omelette. Not only was it very easy but also very good! This is a simple breakfast with scrambled eggs on the bottom, hash browns on the eggs then top it off with cheese….so good! I served this with sausage patties on the side and what a great meal.
Ingredients
In a large non stick frying pan,
melt 6 Tbsp of butter over medium heat.
Add the dried onions and stir.
Add the hash browns,
salt, pepper and stir.
Cook, turning frequently, until golden brown
but do not over cook or they will get dry.
You do not want to let the potatoes clump
together so keep breaking them up.
When done, put the pan into a warm
(170 degree) oven to keep warm.
In a large frying pan melt
2 Tbsp of butter over medium heat.
In a medium bowl add the eggs,
half & half, salt and pepper.
Using a fork whisk the egg
mixture until combined.
Pour eggs into the hot buttered pan.
When the egg starts to set, use a spatula
and run it around the edges tipping the
pan so the liquid egg runs into the gap
you just made. Continue to do this
all around the edge of the pan
until no more liquid remains on top.
Remove from the heat.
It will still be a little wet on top
but that’s ok it will set.
Remove the hash browns from the
oven and use a spoon to place them on
top of the eggs. Use a spatula and press the
potatoes into the eggs.
Sprinkle the cheese over the top.
Place the pan into the warm
oven for a few minutes until
the cheese is melted.
Cut the Open Face Omelette into
eight pie shaped pieces and serve.

Thanks Erica I’m not a huge lover of scrambled eggs so this cuts out the top half of the egg, which I loved!

All of my omelets, over the years, have ended up either open-faced or as a mish-mash of scrambled egg with a lot of companion ingredients. Thankfully, they’ve always tasted good. This recipe looks worth trying, though I am not a huge hash browns fan.

I thought it looked like pizza too. For me, its more like a-liitle-more-than-easy or almost-difficult, though. But much wanting to give it a try!

This omelet looks wonderful! Since high protein foods are a big part of being on a low carb diet, low carb egg omelets are one of my favorite “go-to” meals. https://lowcarbdietlife.com/2018/10/12/simple-low-carb-magazine-fall-edition/
