A Rainy Weekend Breakfast

So I've slept. Pretty much through Thursday and Friday. History wanted to see a cut of the pilot on Wednesday, so after Saturday's all-nighter, I went ahead and did more late nights editing through the beginning of the week. This, however, has nothing to do with this morning's post.

Today's post is about breakfast.

I am all about cooking, especially when it comes to breakfast, so today, loyal reader(s), you can read this blog and even cook along! Today, I'll be making something that can really only be seen as a college student's kind of breakfast, which is clearly shown by its use of...  whatever happens to be in the fridge after stumbling out of bed on Sunday morning.

Anyway, I now present: The Wooflet, which is a somewhat clever (ish) combination of "woof" and "omelet". I promise it tastes delicious, so now that I've made that promise, don't be alarmed when I reveal the inclusion of a hot dog in an omelet recipe.

Alright! Right off the bat, make sure you have the following: half of an onion, two or three eggs, some milk, a hot dog, butter, crushed red pepper.

Now go ahead and dice up that onion half. Now that I've gotten a handle on uploading photos, I can add that it should look something like this:

Next, cut a hot dog in half, then dice it up sideways, which should leave you with a bunch of half-circle hot dog bits. It might look a little like this:

Now throw some butter into a small, moderately heated frying pan! Just enough to cover the bottom and some of the sides.

Add in the onions first, and let them cook up just a little before adding the hot dog. Then, go ahead and throw it all together.

Next, it's time to add in the eggs. In a separate container, beat two or three eggs, depending on how hungry you are. On this particular morning, I happened to be strikingly hungry, so I opted for a third. Throw in a dash of milk and mix it all together, then pour.

Once you've reached this stage, make sure you are redistributing the contents of the omelet every so often, so as not to overcook any one section of egg. It might even be wise to turn the heat down just a bit. Remember: eggs tend to keep cooking for a little while once the heat is off, and even once they're out of the pan. I think.

Another rule of cooking is to keep the following three words in mind: Crushed Red Pepper.

Add it.

Now once you feel physically and mentally prepared, which you should be, because omelets are enthralling, it's time to flip the omelet. Use whatever method you prefer, whether it be by spatula or simple physics. Unfortunately, I did not get a good picture of this, because one can only multitask so much.

Once the Wooflet is flipped, it only needs to cook a little longer, so fry it up to your heart's content, turn off the burner, and throw your delicious new breakfast indulgence on your favorite plate.

Other optional challenges would be to explain to your half-asleep roommates why you are taking pictures of yourself making breakfast, or for a more delicious option, turn this omelet into a sandwich.

Now go enjoy a delicious Wooflet! I'm going to bed.
