| Puffy Apple Omelet |
Breakfast can be savory or sweet. We all tend to think of egg dishes on the savory side. But, sometimes, I like to offer my guests something a little out of the ordinary, like this puffy apple omelet. I have hundreds of cookbooks and I just love going through them for ideas. This particular recipe was in one of the Taste of Home collections and, although it is a little more effort than your traditional omelet, it is definitely worth it. Rather than do one larger omelet, I did individual portions, Let me know if you give it a try!
