Eggplant Omelet

I stopped by my local produce shop today and picked up an onion, eggplant, and some bananas.  I love living a 5 minute walk away from a great little shop.  I had not cooked anything with eggplant in a while.  So after looking through my refrigerator, I decided to make omelets for dinner.

preparation time 10 minutes
cooking time about 15 minutes
makes 2 omelets

Ingredients:

1 small eggplant
1 broccoli floret
1 small onion
1/2 tomato diced
a little butter
oil
1/2 cup grated cheese
3 eggs
salt and pepper to taste

Directions: 

Dice onion and saute in pan with oil.  Then chop up eggplant, add to pan.  Thinly cut the broccoli and add to pan.  Saute until tender, about 8 minutes.

Crack eggs and put in a small bowl.  Whisk with a fork until smooth.  Set aside.

In another small pan, add butter and half the egg mixture.  Once one side is set, flip over and add the veggies and cheese.  Fold in half and cook until done.  Turn and cook the other half.  Top with cheese.  Do the same thing with the rest of the eggs and veggie mixture.  Enjoy!
