Cracker Omelet

List of Ingredients

Serves: 4 to 6

8 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 ounces saltine crackers, 1/4 of a 1-pound box (see note below)
1 tablespoon butter


Recipe

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Add the crackers and allow to soak for 3 to 4 minutes.

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the egg and cracker mixture and reduce the heat to medium. As the mixture begins to set, push it slightly toward the center so that the liquid runs to the edges of the skillet.

Allow the omelet to cook for 5 to 6 minutes, or until lightly browned on the bottom. Slide it out of the pan onto a large plate.

Invert the skillet over the omelet on the plate; turn the whole omelet over so that the uncooked side is face down in the skillet. Be careful, the skillet will be hot.

Cook for 5 to 6 more minutes, or until the center is set and the inside is firm. Cut into wedges and serve.


Note: This is great topped with strawberry preserves or maple syrup. And remember that any type of crackers can be used — even matzo — but you'll want to choose toppings that work with whatever flavor crackers you use.
