Breakfast for Dinner

I am not a big breakfast fan.  That is to say that I don't often eat in the morning, beyond perhaps a cookie or two on my way out the door, much to my wife's chagrin.  (To balance things out, I rarely eat dessert.  My sweet tooth is 9am or before, but rarely later in the day.  I know, I am bizarre.)  However, I really do like breakfast foods, just more often for dinner.

To be honest, I am not sure what the fascination is.  Maybe there is just something comforting about cereal at all hours, or scrambled eggs.  Pancakes or french toast make spectacular evening meals.  But my favorite is a simple omelette.

This one, which wouldn't close thanks to the amount of cheese and spinach in it, was my dinner tonight, as Ruth was not home. 

Spinach and Cheese Omelette
3 eggs, beaten
1 handful washed spinach
Cheese (this is mozzarella, but swiss would be better if I had it in the house)
Salt, pepper, crushed red pepper
1 small pad of butter
Melt the butter in a hot pan, and add salt, pepper, and red pepper to bloom a bit and release the oils.  Add eggs and cook until it gets a bit crispy around the edges, stirring to prevent burning.  Add spinach and cheese, and fold onto a plate (if you can and it doesn't have too much in it).

Now I just have to make cookies for tomorrow's breakfast.  =)
