Another simple but amazing Jamie Oliver recipe! I made this for dinner and much prefer it to the omelette's I normally make. When I went grocery shopping yesterday I got a small loaf of sourdough bread (for 37 cents!) for the asparagus recipe below. I had a bit leftover and remembered reading a Jamie recipe where he used leftover sourdough. The bread may seem a bit strange but it adds a nice flavor and texture (Tom didn't even know it had bread in it).
Preheat a small frying pan over a medium to high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Cut your piece of bread into 2cm cubes (crusts removed) and your field mushroom/s (I used chestnut) into 1cm slices and add both to the pan with your chopped bacon (1 piece cut into 2cm pieces). Stir it all around and let everything get a nice color to it.
Beat your eggs (2-3) in a bowl and season with sea salt and pepper. Pour over the bacon, mushroom and bread mixture and move the pan around so they completely cover the base of it. As the eggs begin to set, gently push the set eggs around with a wooden spoon or spatula. Turn the heat off, and keep moving until the raw egg stops moving around. Quickly grate over a tiny bit of cheddar cheese. You want the omelette to look slightly underdone, because when you turn it out it carries on cooking and will be absolutely perfect when you tuck in.
sounds kind of like a strata and very yummy! Maybe I'll try these on Sunday! You are so good at trying new recipes! Thanks for passing them on, I can't wait till we'll be able to try some new recipes together! I miss and love you, xo Mom
