Apple, Bacon, and Blue Cheese Omelet

This recipe comes from the cook book, “15 Minute Low Carb Recipes". I loved it. The combination of the tart apples and the sharp cheese was delicious. I used turkey bacon and feta cheese in stead of blue cheese because it was what I had on hand.

3 slices bacon (I used two and it was plenty)
¼ Granny Smith or other crisp tart apple, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons butter, divided
2 eggs, beaten
1 ounce crumbled blue cheese

Start the bacon cooking in the microwave-if you don’t own a microwave bacon rack, a glass pie plate will work just fine.

While the bacon’s cooking, melt 1 teaspoon of butter in your omelet pan over medium-high heat. Add the apples, and fry for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until they’re slightly golden. Remove the apple slices and keep them on hand.

Melt the remaining butter in the skillet, slosh it about. Add the eggs and cook until the eggs are no longer shinny (pull up the edges of the eggs letting them run underneath until the egg is cooked through). Arrange the fried apples on half the omelet, top with the blue cheese, cover the pan and turn the burner to low.

Go back to the bacon. Crumble it over the now melted blue cheese. Fold and serve.

Easy Chicken Salad

Matthew was the inspiration for this one!  He made a delicious chicken salad for Sunday dinner one day and I was in love. It was such a hit he wouldn't even let me take any left overs home.  Meany! Easy Chicken Salad 1 Rotisserie Chicken, cooled, skinned, de-boned and cubed ½ medium onion diced ½-1 Granny Smith apple diced 3-4 celery stocks diced ¼ cup slivered almonds ¾ - 1 cup Mayo ½ cup light sour cream 1-2 tablespoons dried dill (to taste) Salt and Pepper to taste Mix all ingredients on a bowl.   Chill.   Enjoy! Notes:   We have also used grapes instead of apples.   I also like to add diced tomatoes once and a while.   Chopped olives and dill pickles also make a nice addition.
