After a brief perusal of my kitchen inventory, I picked out eggs, chives, ricotta, tomatoes, and pine nuts to make an omlette.  I love eggs, and I love breakfast for dinner, or breakfast for lunch or just breakfast for breakfast.    

I fried up the tomatoes first, leaving the pulp in the pan to be mixed in with the eggs.  I prefer the one yolk/ 2 whites combo, with a couple added tablespoons of milk to make the eggs fluffier.  Just a few dollops of ricotta in the middle, plus the chives, pine nuts and tomatoes.  A bit on top as garnish and I was finished.  Done in under 10 minutes…approximately the amount of time it took me to eat it.

As a side note, I promise I’ll have some actual recipes on here later this week/next week.  I have an upcoming dinner party at my apartment for about nine people, which requires planning, unlike an omlette.
