Ahh brie, how I love thee.  That sentence is so corny but I couldn’t help it.  I love brie!  Nothing makes me happier than a nice cheese plate with some brie.  This recipe is really pungent and flavorful.  You can substitute brie for another soft cheese if you are not a fan. But really, give it a shot!

Ingredients:

2 slices pancetta or bacon, diced
3 large eggs
1 Tbsp. water
dash of salt
fresh ground pepper
1/4 c. brie, cut into small pieces

In an 8-inch omelet pan, cook pancetta until crisp, about 6 minutes.  Remove to a plat lined with a paper towel, leaving approximately 2 tsp. of drippings in the pan.

In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, water, salt and pepper to taste.  In the same pan, warm drippings over medium heat and swirl to coat bottom of pan.  Pour in egg mixture all at once and let set until edges start to cook, about 30 seconds.  Using a spatula, gently lift edges of mixture and tip pan to allow the uncooked egg mixture to flow underneath.  Continue to do this until the top is almost dry.  Sprinkle brie and pancetta over one half of omelet and fold the other side over to cover.  Let set for a few seconds.  Turn out onto a warmed plate and serve immediately.

This is the last of our breakfast ideas for the week.  However there are many other recipes on the site and you can find them by searching over there to the right.  Enjoy!
