OMELET WITH SMOKED BLEU CHEESE AND CARAMELIZED BACON
I had Oregon-made Rogue Creamery 'Smokey Blue' blue cheese leftover and thought I'd throw an omelet together after reading the description of said cheese. Experiment with another fresh herb of choice. May I suggest this recipe for caramelizing the bacon?: Recipe #421812. I used a combination of garlic-flavored olive oil and butter.

Steps:
- Whisk the eggs in a bowl with some cracked black pepper.

- Heat up the (garlic-flavored) olive oil and/or butter in an omelet pan on medium heat.
- Pour in the eggs (and garlic if using) and cook gently until just ready to fold.

- We served our omelet with steamed carrots and roasted small Yukon gold potatoes for an easy weeknight meal.
