Recipe Box, Pimento Cheese Omelet in a Jar

To celebrate the first cool morning on the coast I made an omelet “to go”
and took my breakfast outside
A bright crisp sunny morning was perfect for a Pimento Cheese Omelet in a Jar
I love a grab and go breakfast, even if I’m only going to the porch
And it’s so much fun to eat something in a jar
Spray the jar with cooking oil spray and break the eggs into the jar
Adding a dollop {Tablespoon} of cream, milk or water will keep your eggs creamy
Scramble the eggs in the jar with a fork and season with salt and pepper
Add a generous spoonful of homemade Pimento Cheese, or 1 ounce of any grated cheese or torn up slices
Microwave on 50% power for 30 seconds, remove and stir
Repeat, microwaving for 30 seconds at 50% power. Be patient, cook in short spans and stir
When eggs begin to set around the perimeter, stir stir stir and return to the microwave for 20 seconds at 50% power
You don’t want to overcook this, or you will have rubbery eggs…soft and creamy and piping hot now, just right!
Find a comfy chair somewhere and enjoy~
To keep your mornings hassle free, make up some jars in advance and stash in the fridge. Add veggies, cooked sausage or bacon or herbs. You may have to adjust cooking times according to ingredients and your microwave. Cook in 20-30 second increments at 50% power for best results

- 1 T milk cream or water

Instructions
- Spray inside of jar with cooking oil spray. Break eggs into jar.

Jenna, Love the neighborhood where you live, it’s a special place, just look at the view! Breakfast outside at the beach, nothing better. Love the recipe and it’s so easy…………
Thanks Emily, I loved how how the eggs stayed, as I photographed them for 5 min or so before I sat down to enjoy them 🙂 >
Aw man, now you make me miss my microwave even more! (We haven’t had one for about a year now – long story). Ah well, I can always make omelets the old fashioned way. The pimento cheese is an awesome idea for an addition to it. Yum!
