An Omelet At 2 a.m. Just Because

Funny to discover this draft, which I created in March 2010, more than five years ago now, when I was making a transition from the formal corporate world of sales promotion and advertising to writing and photography. It was a time of great discovery and exploration for me, and an urge to cook was just one illustration of the time. Here's the write-up... and I still have that plate!

Look out Man vs. Food -- Mike Lauterborn is stove-side again and cooking with a vengeance. Today's middle of the night concoction? A little dish he likes to call a Glomlet, 'cause you really want to "glom" it down once you get that first sample. So pay attention People, 'cause we're tipping you off to the special ingredients that make up this eggy artifact. Here goes:

- 3 medium eggs, beaten

- Splash of milk

- Sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese

- Chunks of sweet Italian sausage, pre-thawed, pre-cooked and mixed in

- 1/2 red onion diced

- 3 mushrooms sliced

Cook mushrooms, onion and sausage until brown. Combine eggs, milk and mozzarella and pour over the cooked red onion and mushrooms. Cook overall until firm then serve with whole wheat muffin topped with blackberry jam. Mmm-mmm.
