Have breakfast like a King, so they said, and so they were right. Last week we talked about the nutritious benefits of eggs and that inspired me to get into my kitchen and whip up an egg recipe. And today morning was just the perfect day to cook this delicious stuffed omelette. I love a combination of spicy, crunchy and soft. All the elements on this dish came together so well that this is my new favorite egg dish. The caramelized onions add a sweetness that contrasts with the spice of the cayenne pepper, which I love.
