"We just love food like this in our house...can you go wrong with eggs, cheese, potato, nuts, and a dollop of sour cream to boot? This omelet is served from the skillet, cut into pie-shaped pieces."

ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter, divided
• 1 teaspoon olive oil

3. Melt remaining 1 T. butter at medium (or medium-low) heat and add potato and onion to skillet, stirring, until potato is soft, but only lightly browned (about 10 minutes).
4. Remove from pan to another plate and set aside.
5. Remove any particles from pan, reduce heat to medium-low. Coat skillet with 1 t. olive oil.
6. Beat eggs lightly, add to pan and cook, gently lifting cooked portion to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
