I know I said a couple of Sundays ago when we made the Crêpes that we were out of Omelette recipes...but I was wrong...there was one more...and it is a fancy-schmancy-fill-you-up-hearty omelette for sure...
Julia says this is a Basque specialty and you'll need some Ham Seitan for it - I had some already sliced in the freezer...so that shortened our prep time considerably...

...First...you brown the 'ham' lightly in butter...

...and set aside...

...then in the same butter you browned the 'ham' in...cook some onions and peppers slowly without browning...

...make your omelette... - remove it from the heat and spread your pipérade mixture over it...

...sprinkle the 'ham' over the top...and serve...
...I know that looks like wine in the glass but it's really cranberry juice...HA!
