I have a similar go to for the kids, though typically just do more of a pancake style in a small pan to keep it a little thicker.

- eggs
- Diced onion (or dried onion flakes?) if feeling lazy
- medium fine chop of a leafy greens mix (spinach, kale, ?)
- shredded cheese
- a sort of generic seasoning mix
- add other protein/vege that’s on hand

I also have little round silicon molds that are the perfect size to fit in a little sandwich; add a bit more cheese to the bread, add the egg, throw it in the toaster oven.

About to make dinner for parents and they are wanting omelettes. Got ham and cheddar in the fridge. Will probably use green onions instead of regular onions. Will take a look to see what salad stuff we have. Might have some spinach. Time to go get my mise en place ready.

Well, that turned out well. Ham, cheddar, green onions, and spinach. Not sure if it was Chef JP or Gordon Ramsay who I learned it from, but that trick about stacking and rolling up the spinach to cut it worked like a charm.

Diced the ham and chopped up the green onions. Used 2/3 for mix, and 1/3 as finely chopped chives. Grilled the ham and onions together for a minute or two then put that aside. Prepped the 3 omelettes in individual bowls. 3 eggs, splash of milk, dash of salt and pepper. Whisk until thoroughly mixed. Final construction was easy peasy. Cook eggs until almost done. Add all the toppings, flip closed. Let cheese melt and serve.

My skill on the flip is... bad. So they turned out ugly but delicious.

Still very eary and peak demand is not until around Easter normally, but crawfish are high. Maybe they took a hit from the cold weather earlier. In Baton Rouge live crawfish is around $5.00/pound and Baton Rouge/Lafeyette are the two closest towns to the spillway and farm raised areas. Tail meat only (not live obviosly) $17/pound. Boiled just under $7.00/pound. Prices from Tonys in Baton Rouge where they unload/cook soon as they guys get in from the spillway each day.

Lot better than the a few years ago when they had a very bad drought. I didn't buy any then but I was quote around $20/pound for live, the MS river got so low the found a ferry that sank 100 years ago right at Baton Rouge. I think then it was a matter of could you get it and if you knew someone that could get any.
