Pickled Jalapeno & Cheddar Omelette with Grilled Sausages - Low Carb Breakfast

Pickled Jalapeno & Cheddar Omelette w/ Sausages Breakfast - Low Carb
One of my recent low carb brekkie.
Very tasty & satisfying, I love how the pickled jalapeno added a bit of heat & tang into the rich mix.
Btw, can I consider pickled jalapeno as "vegetables"? ^_^'

Pickled Jalapeno & Cheddar Omelette w/ Sausages Breakfast - Low Carb
Recipe
(serves one and only me!)
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tbsp of pickled jalapeno, drained, chopped
- cheddar cheese chunks
- olive oil
Pour beaten egg to lightly oiled hot non-stick pan, add pickled jalapeno and cheese, fold or flip (I folded mine into a triangle), remove from heat and serve with grilled sausage of your choice (or bacon?). Do not overcook the egg.

This is good with some sweet and creamy coffee.
Happy Friday!

PS. Do you have more omelette ideas for me?

Corned Beef & Jalapeno Fried Rice

Corned Beef Jalapeno Fried Rice
I grew up eating canned corned beef.
Fried with eggs, fried and served with potatoes, instant noodles, or (of course) rice.
It's the perfect non-porky alternative to luncheon meat/spam (another unhealthy processed meat product I absolutely love ^_^').

In Hong Kong, not surprisingly, canned corned beef isn't as popular as its porky cousin, luncheon meat.
It does get served in local cafes in the form of sandwiches or sometimes as savoury crepe filling...but I hardly see it used any other way.

Since I had half a small can leftover corned beef from the savoury bread pudding, I decided to make...fried rice :)

Super quick and easy for weekday dinners.
Corned Beef Jalapeno Fried Rice
Recipe
- half a small can of corned beef (or more)
- 2 chicken franks, sliced (if I had a full can of corned beef, I don't think I needed the chicken franks)
- 1 cup rice, cooked, refrigerated overnight (I used a mix of white and brown rice, the brown rice has wonderful chewy texture, perfect for making fried rice)
- half yellow/red bell pepper, diced (for sweetness and the color looks pretty)
- 10 pieces of jalapeno from a jar (I used El Paso brand), diced (adjust if you find it too hot or not hot enough)
- olive oil, butter, salt, white pepper, Worcestershire sauce

Brown corned beef and sliced chicken franks with a bit of olive oil, add diced bell pepper, add a bit of butter, add rice, season with salt, pepper, a dash of worcestershire sauce and mix well, add diced jalapeno only at the end, mix well, serve hot.

Quick, easy, savoury, with a touch of sweetness from the peppers and a bit of tang from the jalapeno.

Now SC knows that corned beef can be used elsewhere other than in between two slices of bread ^_*
