Sure, not all of these flavors and ingredients go together, but go with your gut (or taste buds) on what pairs well. If you like spicy flavors and Mexican food, go with spinach, tomato, pepper jack, and avocado. For a Greek omelet, choose feta, sausage, and onion.
We were feeling adventurous and randomly chose ingredients from the list. We were lucky that it turned out so well. We started by mixing our base of eggs, salt, pepper, and cream. From there we grabbed an element from each section at random. Our kale, bell pepper, feta, ham, and fresh herb omelet turned out pretty tasty, as luck would have it.
What do you think of our finished product? What combination would you make?
