Mon ami, this morning’s breakfast we enjoy the classic Ham & Cheese Omelette.  Anatole hopes you are not alone for this one, no? 

Les ingrédients:

• Desired amount of butter
• 5 slices of your favorite ham cut as desired
• 2-3 eggs (white or brown)
• Dash of salt/pepper
• 1/4 -1/2 cup of Cheddar or American Cheese
• add desired spices

Anatole’s instructions:

• Place skillet over medium flame and add desired amount of butter and melt evenly.
• Add ham and fry to desired taste.
• While ham is cooking, beat eggs with salt, pepper, and other desired spices.
• Add beaten eggs to skillet.  Be sure to allow even coverage of mixture.
• Fry omelette until edges are firm and then sprinkle desired cheese evenly over the top.
• Fold omelette in half and be sure both sides are thoroughly cooked.
• Serve on plate with favorite sides.

Anatole’s Critique:

Excellent, mon ami!  The gooey melted cheese with the fried ham is perfect for Anatole’s taste.  Bon appétit, adieu.
