Reesie's havarti cheese omelette

2 large eggs
1 large slice havarti cheese
2 handfuls fresh spinach
salt & pepper to taste

In a small frying pan on the stovetop, saute spinach in olive oil spray. Keep spinach in pan and add in whisked eggs. Cook over medium low heat. Add cheese on the top of the eggs as they cook. Leave eggs alone until they look done and cheese is melted. Season with salt & pepper at this point if desired. Flip over 1/2 of the eggs on top of the other half. You are ready to eat!

Serving Suggestions:
 - 1 slice of toast (I prefer rye toast if I have it.)

 - Add on hash browns or even a side of pancakes if you are really hungry
 - Sausage or bacon

Reesie's Quiche Cups

1/2 medium red pepper, small dice
1/4 medium green pepper, small dice
1/4 medium onion, small dice
1 1/2 C. spinach, chopped
2 sheets puff pastry
1 C. diced ham
Dash garlic powder
Dash celery salt
Dash Nature's Seasoning blend
4 eggs, divided use
1/3 C. Half and half
1/4 C. Parmesan cheese
1/4 C. Swiss cheese
2-3 larger cherry tomatoes, sliced into 18 slices
1 T. Olive oil

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Spray cups in a muffin tin.

Sprinkle flour on your counter. Unfold puff pastry and roll out to a 12 inch square. Cut into 9 even squares. Press 1 square into each muffin cup making sure to have your points sticking up out of the tin.

Sauté vegetables in a pan over medium heat with 1 T. Olive oil. While sauting vegetables, put 4 pieces of ham in each pastry cup. When vegetables are soft, evenly distributed over the ham in each pastry cup.

Whisk together 3 eggs with half and half. Evenly distribute egg mixture across the cups. Sprinkle both cheeses evenly on top of egg mixture. Whisk last egg and using a pastry brush, brush on edges of pastry.


Bake for 18-20 minutes. At about 10 minutes, remove from oven and top with tomato slices. Place back in oven and bake until eggs are done.
