cheesy rice omelet

this one i invented because of my hard to feed daughter.  but she loves egg and she loves cheese.  so to sneak in rice, i decided to make this.  it's so simple, you can whip it up in less than five minutes.
the three main ingredients: cooked rice, cheese, and egg

  1. heat up a small pan and melt a pat or two of butter [or oil, if you prefer it]
  2. while waiting for the pan to heat up, beat an egg or two, sprinkle in grated cheese and cooked rice, and pepper to taste. [i don't add salt anymore because the cheese is salty enough]
  3. pour in the mixture, pat down to even up the surface, turn the heat to medium-high
  4. flip it when you see the edges turn golden brown
  5. serve warm
or should i call them cheesy rice and egg patties? =D

the proportions are entirely up to you, it's impossible to fail at this dish.  for adult versions you can use stronger cheese and add chili pepper flakes or even herbs, the possibilities are endless.

my daughter gobbles it up every time, and sometimes, i sneak in finely chopped veggies, just a little so she won't detect it.
