Denver Omelet Strudel


Trying something new right now. We joined a what's for dinner list and now we get sent an email every week with recipes to make. As we are picky, I'm sure we won't want to try ALL of the recipes, but this is to help get us out of our normal food rut that I'm sure EVERYONE understands! This recipe was for a brunch item that we decided to have for breakfast this morning. It was kind of fun. I think next time I'll use a different colored pepper so that my boys might actually try it instead of tearing the whole thing apart to eat just the eggs, the ham, and the puff pastry....

Ingredients
1 puff pastry sheet - thawed according to package directions
1 T. butter
1/2 bell pepper
1 c. diced ham
6 eggs
1/2 c. grated sharp cheddar cheese
 salt and pepper
grated Parmesan cheese

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 450
  2. Whisk 5 eggs and 1 egg yolk with salt and pepper.  Keep remaining egg white for later.
  3. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat.  Add pepper and saute until tender.
  4. Add ham and continue to cook for 1 minute.
  5. Add eggs and cook until they are done.
  6. Open puff pastry.  You will see that it is folded in thirds.  Cut about 8 "wings" at an angle on both outer panels.
  7. Spread eggs evenly over the middle panel and top with cheddar cheese.
  8. Starting at the top, Alternate each "wing" over the eggs.  When finished, it will look like a braid.
  9. Brush top with remaining egg white and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  10. Bake for 15-20 minutes until nice and golden brown.
