Our chore this week for the Sunday Slow Bakers was a Sweet Apple Omelet. In her cookbook, Dolce Italiano Gina says "if you've never had a sweet omelet, you are in for a treat" She's right! This made a perfect late breakfast on Saturday morning. It was a nice change from our typical ham and cheese omelets. 
I was excited to see that I was going to finally get to use my Brunello grappa. I bought this in Italy, and luckily this bottle made it through the bottle smashers at the Birmingham airport.
Sweet Apple Omelet
2 medium apples
3 Tbs olive oil
2 Tbs sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 Tbs Grappa
2 Tbs butter
1 Tbs honey
5 eggs
Slice the apples. (I didn't peel mine) Saute in olive oil until tender. Add sugar and cinnamon shaking to coat the apples. Remove from heat. Add grappa then return to low heat to cook off the alcohol.
In another skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and make a thick omelet with the eggs. When the omelet is cooked through, fill with apples. Fold over and slide onto a plate dusted with confectioners' sugar.
Top with a mixture of melted butter and honey. Serve immediately.
Mmmmm y'all that was good!We have found out just this week that Gina, our Slow Travel Stella, is battling a nasty illness. This comes at the peak of her career when she should be able to sit back and enjoy the sweet life.
Once again we are reminded that we need to make every day sweet... starting with a sweet apple omelet.
Y'all enjoy!

So true. I recently told my younger daughter, who was going through a difficult time, to stop and smell the roses. They don't say that for nothing.

I am going to make my next saturday count by making this yummmmmmy looking taste treat Sandi.......I have a bottle of Grappa looking for something like this. Like the idea of a sweet omelet.....thanks
This looks wonderful Sandi.
I am not going to show J the red velvet cake in a previous post! He would cry real tears! Oh maybe I will, then bake it for him.
We've been living life to the fullest or at least trying to, after receiving a couple of wake up calls a few years ago.
Have a wonderful week. I'm celebrating my 200th post with a little giveaway, at the back porch.

Okay, I'm drooling on my keyboard. Never thought of putting fruit in my omelet, but I'm game to try it.
I'll pray for your friend Gina.
Hugs!
