Chili Omelet [video]

by drpaul

Having leftover chili accomplishes a lot – snacks, lunches, another dinner and, in this case, a great breakfast. 


2-3 tablespoons organic butter (or coconut oil)
2 organic eggs per person
Raw cheddar cheese – optional
Leftover chili, warmed

  • Beat eggs well in glass bowl
  • Warm leftover chili in small sauce pan
  • Melt butter in a medium stainless steel skillet over medium heat
  • When butter bubbles, pour eggs into center of pan
  • Using a rubber or flexible plastic spatula, gently lift edge of eggs and tilt pan to allow a small amount of liquid egg to pour under cooking egg (see video demonstration); REPEAT a few times to get all liquid from center
  • Once egg is cooked (= no liquid): spoon warmed chili over one edge of cooking egg
  • Top with optional shredded raw cheddar cheese
  • Gently fold half of egg over the side with chili
  • Serve with sliced apple
