Montana Omelet

lazyme's Note:

We tried this omelet a few nights ago for dinner and really enjoyed it. It's loaded with potatoes, meat and onions. We made this with leftover ham, green onions, and a 4-blend cheese for a hearty and filling omelet. I'm guessing that it would be good with all kinds of variations too. From the Marlboro Country Cookbook.

Yummy!!! I made this for my lunch today, using ham for the meat and refrigerated hash browns for the potatoes. Then followed the rest as written for one serving. This is so simple and quick, great to serve for any meal. I wasn't sure how I would like the sour cream topping on eggs and I loved it!!! Thanks for sharing the recipe. Made for your win on the Super Bowl (Football Pool Game).

Oooops, mine got a bit dark on the bottom but not dark enough to keep it from being delicious. I used Eggbeaters, lean ham and fat free sour cream and far free cheese and enjoyed dinner very much. It was great with just some orange wedges on the side. Yummm! Made for PAC, Fall '09.

I scaled this up to 4 serves and used a large frypan. For allergy reasons I had to sub spring onion (scallion) for the onion and I also added some fresh shredded spinach just before adding the egg and just put it under the grill (broiler) for a few minutes to give a little colour and then dolloped the sour cream on and scatters the cheese and put it under the grill (broiler) till the cheese bubbled and brown (mainly because that is the way we prefer it), served with buttered wholegrain toast and it made a very filling lunch (couldn't get through all my serve). Thank you lazyme, made for I Recommend Tag game and recommended by loof.
