Cheese and Luncheon Meat Omelette

This is my favorite breakfast but I don't get to cook it often because mornings are such a rush. By the way, this post has been sitting in my draft folder like forever hah..hah...

When I was small, my grandma used to make luncheon meat sandwiches (with tomato sauce, yum!) for me. Another thing she liked to do was dip the luncheon meat in beaten eggs and fry it until golden brown.

When I buy a can of luncheon meat, I would transfer the meat into a glass container. Then I slice them for convenience. When I want to make an omelette, all I need to do is to take one out and cut it into small cubes.

This omelette is quite easy to put together. What you need is sliced big onions, luncheon meat, cheese and of course, eggs. I also like to add green chillies/cili padi for aroma and some kaboom.

It makes for a very hearty and filling breakfast and I won't feel hungry until 1:00pm. I usually try to make this breakfast especially when I am attending seminars so that I can resist the temptation of tea breaks. The food served during tea breaks are almost always made of carbohydrates and full of sugar.

I love this with tomato sauce.

Although I am not partial to cheese, I quite like cheddar cheese in omelettes. It makes the omelette very creamy and tasty.
