Super Easy, Super Good Egg Omelet for Mother's Day

Here's a great way to start your Mother's Day -- a microwave omelet.  It's really easy, fast and (most important) tasty!

You'll need:

• A large (4 cup) measuring cup or other microwave-proof bowl
• non-stick cooking spray (like Pam)
• a piece of waxed paper to cover your cup or bowl
• 3 large eggs
• a handful of chopped ham or bacon (we use the pre-cooked version)
• a handful of chopped green pepper
• a handful of chopped onion
• a dash of seasoned salt
• a dash of pepper
• a dash of paprika
• a splash of half-and-half or whole milk
• a tablespoon of butter or margarine

Make it:

• spray the measuring cup with the non-stick spray
• break the three eggs into the cup or bowl
• scramble the eggs with a fork
• add all the ingredients except the butter, stir to make sure everything is mixed up
• add the butter or margarine (no need to stir)
• place the waxed paper over the container
• microwave on high for 3 minutes
• remove from microwave (watch out for the steam!)
• uncover bowl or cup and (using a fork) open the center of the omelet
• return the container to the microwave, cover with waxed paper
• microwave on high for an additional one minute (or until egg is cooked completely)
• remove from microwave and transfer omelet to serving plate

This recipe makes a generous sized omelet.  My wife and i usually share one.  I'm going to whip one up this morning as we start Mother's Day Sunday.
