Western Omelet Breakfast Potato Skins Recipes

WESTERN OMELET POTATO SKINS

Steps:

• Toppings: Sauteed green pepper, onion and ham, paprika and chopped parsley on cheesy skins
• How to Make Classic Potato Skins:
• Pierce 4 large russet potatoes with a fork. Bake directly on the oven rack at 350 degrees until tender, about 1 hour. Let cool, then quarter lengthwise and scoop out the flesh, leaving a 1/4-inch shell. Brush both sides with melted butter and season with salt and pepper. Bake, skin-side up, at 450 degrees until crisp, about 15 minutes. Add your favorite team toppings. (For cheesy skins, flip the baked shells over before topping, sprinkle with 1 cup grated cheddar cheese and bake an extra 5 minutes.)

WESTERN OMELET QUICHE

Steps:

• Place a rack in the bottom third of the oven and preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place a sheet pan on the bottom rack to heat up.
• Lightly spray a 9-inch standard pie pan with nonstick spray. Line the pan with the crust, turn under any excess crust and then crimp the edges. Take a large square of parchment paper and crumple and unfold it twice to make it more flexible. Lay the parchment over the dough, pressing it into place, then fill the parchment with pie weights, dried beans or rice so that the pan is filled completely. If using a homemade pie crust, freeze the pie shell for 10 minutes.
• Place the pie shell in the oven on the preheated sheet pan and bake until the edges are golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven, remove the parchment lining and weights and bake until the center no longer looks raw, 3 to 4 minutes longer.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell pepper and a pinch of salt and cook just until the pepper develops some color, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the peppers to a bowl. Add the ham to the skillet and cook until it begins to develop some color, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the scallion whites (reserve the greens for garnish) and remove the pan from the heat. Set aside.
• Whisk the eggs in a medium bowl until smooth. Whisk in the half-and-half, 3/4 teaspoon salt, onion powder and black pepper to taste. Whisk until smooth and then whisk in half the cheese. Place the peppers and ham over the crust and then pour over the egg mixture. Top with the remaining cheese.
• Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and bake the quiche until the outer half is set and the center just wobbles slightly, 40 to 45 minutes. The internal temperature of the quiche will be about 160 degrees F.
• Cool the quiche for at least 30 minutes before garnishing with scallion greens. Serve warm or room temperature, or wrap well and refrigerate to serve chilled.

• Melt 1 teaspoon butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms, bell pepper, and green onions; cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in ham until heated through, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Set filling mixture aside in a small bowl and keep warm.
• Beat eggs together in a bowl; season with salt and pepper.
• Heat the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add remaining 1 teaspoon butter; heat until foaming. Pour in eggs and cook for 30 seconds. Lift the edges of the omelet so that the uncooked egg runs under the cooked edges and comes into contact with the hot skillet. Shake and tilt the skillet to move the uncooked egg. Repeat until the top is set but still moist and soft, about 2 minutes.
• Spread the filling over one side of the omelet. Fold the other half over the filling and slide omelet onto a plate.
