Make Ahead Spicy Omelets

My husband has never been one to have to eat breakfast before heading off to work because he is in a hurry.  I usually keep breakfast bars on hand but those get old fast!  With this being said I try to come up with something different for his breakfast every so often.  So a few months ago I decided to try making omelets and freezing them.  Well it worked out great and he loves them when he remembers to put them in the oven before getting ready, lol!  This recipe is my husbands favorite but you could use just about anything. 

Ingredients
1 pkg bacon
1 dozen eggs
1 quart bag mixed sweet peppers & jalapeno's with seeds
16 oz fresh grated pepper jack cheese
1 stick of butter
Paula Dean Seasoning

Cook bacon as directed  and crumble.  Chop sweet peppers and jalapenos to fill quart size bag. Grate fresh pepper jack cheese.  I usually prepare the bacon, peppers, and cheese the day before.  Have 3 eggs mixed in small bowl.  Melt butter in small nonstick pan on medium heat.  Add a handful of peppers and season with Paula Dean Season.  Stir consistently about 2 minutes, then add crumbled bacon and stir together another minute or so.  Pour in eggs and cook until top begins to puff up or have bubbles.  Place cheese on one half of omelet and fold opposite side over to close omelet.  Let cook about 1 minute then flip to opposite side cooking another minute.  Remove from pan, place on plate, and put plate in freezer.  Begin cooking another omelet!  As you are making omelets you'll need to cut previously made ones in half before frozen, but you want them to be cooled and firm before cutting.  Place them in freezer gallon bag once cut in half. 

If preparing all ingredients in one day this usually takes about 2 to 3 hours.  I usually end up with 8 sometimes 10 half omelets, lasting 2 to 3 weeks for my husbands breakfast.  To reheat these for breakfast you should take one from freezer, wrap in foil and place in fridge the night before to allow some thawing.  In the morning preheat over to 375 or 400, depending on how fast you want ready.  Heat omelet for 10 to 15 minutes.  If frozen you will have to heat for 20-30 minutes.

Bacon on George Foreman

In years past my husband has done the Atkins diet for the main purpose of losing weight, and he always loved it because he is a meat eater.  Recently he got to looking into the Atkins diet for health purposes.  He had heard some about sugars playing a role in cancer, and looked into what studies with the Atkins diet stated.  Having a kidney cancer a couple years ago really had him interested in this.  I wouldn't say we are big on studies at all, because every study has it's good, bad, and opinion.  With this one though, my husband made a decision that he's not going to eat a bunch of carbs the rest of his life.  So with any change of diet you begin to ask yourself what am I going to eat now.  So I have been preparing eggs in muffin cups for him to have for breakfast, but knew some different options were needed.  So I thought about trying to cook bacon on the George, and it turned out to be a good idea.  I can not stand frying bacon due to the grease popping and hitting me, and baking it in the oven is a whole big mess even when placing foil on baking sheet.  This leaves me loving cooking it on the George because grease is not popping everywhere and it's draining into the tray.  No it's not as good as frying it but it's really not bad at all and it's still crunchy.  It is time consuming, taking probably an hour or little more to cook a 3lb package, but it makes for easy breakfast throughout the week.  Take what you want place it in oven for bout 3-5 minutes and you have crispy fresh like bacon!
