Polette (Polenta + Omelette)



My Mom visited us in Haiti and brought us some fun sun-dried tomato Polenta, which I think she found at a Wegman's. This breakfast was delicious and really make a lot for the ingredients!

Ingredients:  Eggs, Polenta, Vegetables of your choce *I used peppers, onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, Vegetarian Sausage *Field Roast Grain Meat Apple Sage are delicious! Cheddar Cheese (or cheese of your preference)

- In a spoonful of olive oil fry/saute the polenta.  When lightly brown place in pie pan or casserole dish and break up the polenta. It does not have to cover the entire bottom.
-Using the same pan, saute the vegetables and sausage until crispy and golden brown in olive oil.
-In separate bowl whisk up eggs and a splash of milk.  About 2 spoonfuls of milk per 4 eggs. 
-Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
-Pour the eggs over the polenta. Season with salt and pepper and Italian Seasoning if you have it! Feel free to add any fresh herbs that you have.
-Add the sausage and sauted vegetables. Use a spatula to move them around to make it all one level and even.
-Add grated cheese on top, as much as you would like.
-Place in the oven for about 10-15 minutes until the eggs looked cooked.  You will know when it is finished if you grab it with a potholder and gently shake the pie holder from side to side, if the eggs are still jiggly then put it back in the oven! If they do not jiggle, the polette is finished!

Help yourself to a second piece if you want - it is worth it.

Jonathan's Recommendation: Adding potatoes would be a great idea.
Mardigan's Recommendation:  Don't give up! Be patient...something will fall.  Humans can't make things perfectly...the Polette will fall apart at some point!
