Ham, Potato and Cauliflower Un-Omelette

I love omelettes. All you need is an egg or two, add a few choice ingredients

and voila, you have a quick, delicious and filling meal. Unfortunately, we haven't

had omelettes in a long time due to family food allergies.

I dubbed this the Un-Omelette because someone looked at the ingredients then 

asked, "Are you preparing an omelette?" I weakly replied, "Sort of"…  Admittedly, 

I created this dish because we were finally down to our last batch of holiday ham. 

Plus, we had this bowl of cauliflower that was taking days to finish. Oh what a relief

to have consumed all the holiday food, with nothing gone to waste. 

Ham, Potatoes and Cauliflower Un-Omelette

* 2 potatoes, diced

* 2 tablespoons olive oil

* 1/2 medium white onion, chopped

* 6 slices ham, cut to bite size pieces

*1/3 cup cauliflower, chopped

* 1/4 cup milk

* grated or sliced cheese

- Place potatoes in a pan. Add water just enough for potatoes to get covered. 

Boil until half done. Set aside the half-done potatoes including its boiling liquid.

- In the same pan, add the olive oil. Add the onions and saute until translucent.

Add the ham and saute for a few minutes.

- Add the cauliflower, the potatoes and the boiling liquid. Cover and cook until 

the vegetables are cooked. Add water as needed.

- Pour in the milk and add the cheese. Stir for 1 more minute. Season with salt 

and pepper if necessary.

Serves 4-5

I was quite happy with how this turned out. I'm considering creating more

Un-Omelette combinations. I think it's important that you pre-boil the potatoes. 

The boiling liquid helps thicken the sauce. I also skipped the salt, I felt the 

ham and cheese had enough salt for the entire dish. No, the ham was not the 

salted kind; I just prefer my dishes low sodium style.

I sometimes get asked about what goes in our kitchen. Foodie Fridays is a

peek at what gets served at our dining table.
