Croissomelet Sandwich
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons milk
- salt and pepper
- 1 slice monterey jack pepper cheese
- 2 slices honey roasted turkey breast, thick sliced
- 2 tablespoons medium chunky salsa
- 1 large butter croissant
- Cut the croissant in half lengthwise using a serrated knife.
- Warm the croissant in the microwave; the oven will dry it out.
- Be sure to cut the croissant before you warm it, because it will fall apart if you try to cut it after it is soft and warm.
- In a bowl, mix the egg, milk, and salt and pepper.
- Whisk with a fork.
- Pour the egg mixture into a greased frying pan on medium heat.
- Cover.
- Watch the egg carefully until it looks dry on top, so the egg cooks thoroughly, but does not burn on the bottom.
- Fold the slices of turkey in half and lay them end to end the long way down the middle of the egg.
- The meat should look like a thick stripe running top to bottom down the cooked egg.
- Scoop the salsa over the turkey, varying the amount as needed to cover the turkey with a thin layer.
- Cut the slice of cheese in half and lay end to end on top of the turkey and salsa.
- Be careful not to let it hang over the edge of the egg, or it will burn.
- Overlapping in the middle is fine.
- Using a spatula, fold the right side of the egg down over the top of the cheese.
- Press and hold it to melt the egg to the cheese, so it will stick.
- If the egg is overcooked, it may crack on the side, but it should still turn out fine.
- Repeat with the left side, forming a rectangular "pocket" in the middle of the pan.
- Re-cover and reduce heat, until the cheese is melted completely.
- Slide the omelet out of the pan onto a plate, and cut it through the middle, leaving two short rectangles of sliced omelet.
- Place the two pieces of omelet carefully into the croissant like a sandwich.
- I prefer to overlap the thin ends in the middle, so it is a more uniform thickness all the way through.
- However, you can vary the arrangement of omelet in the croissant as you see fit, since the shape of croissants varies widely.
- Enjoy!
