This is a 4 egg omelet stuffed with sauteed mushrooms and Calamungay leaves.

Ok. Since this is my first food/cooking post ever, I'm sure it will be rather pedestrian (lame) - to say the least!
# 
# <center>Ingredients</center>
# 
- 2 cups fresh mushrooms (of your choice)
# 
<center>![Shrooms.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmc1PyAq4DgyE66E5Ho6ZMAVqYqhhCQ9eVLh7XvZqwZYtE/Shrooms.jpg)</center><center>[Source](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmc1PyAq4DgyE66E5Ho6ZMAVqYqhhCQ9eVLh7XvZqwZYtE/Shrooms.jpg)</center>
# 
I chose:

Chicken of the Woods...

# 
and Black Wood Ear.

# 
And the rest:

- cooking oil (I like Virgin Olive oil)

- salt and pepper

- sesame seeds

- chopped Calamungay leaves  (or spinach)

- vinegar

- butter

- white rhum (or choice of alcoholic drink)

- cheese (optional)

- hot sauce (optional)

# <center>Cooking?</center>
# 
I'm ass-uming that most know how to make an omelet.

Today's breakfast simply was a 4 egg omelet that was stuffed with sauteed mushrooms and topped with cheese and hot sauce.
# 
# <center>Sauteed Mushroom Tips</center>
# 
- Blanch all polypore mushrooms (e.g., Hen of the Woods, Berkely's polypore, black stain polypore, etc.) and any mushroom that has a slimy cap (i.e., Honey mushrooms).

- Brown mushroom bottoms thoroughly in cooking oil (resist stirring for the first 2-3 minutes).

- Add vinegar or wine for flavor soak.

- Add butter AFTER browning in cooking oil (prevents burnt butter).

- Add seasonings before the last step...

- Last Step: De-glaze with your favorite alcohol.

*(Note: A few drinks when cooking, singing and dancing is cool!)*

About the Author

Believing that school was too boring, he dropped out of High School early; only to earn an AA, BS and MBA in less than 4 years much later in life – while working full-time as a Navy/Marine Corps Medic.

In spite of a fear of heights and deep water, he performed high altitude, free-fall parachute jumps and hazardous diving ops in deep, open ocean water.

# 
After 24 years of active duty, he retired in Asia.

Since then, he's been a full-time, single papa and actively pursuing his varied passions (Writing, Disruptive Technology, Computer Science and Cryptocurrency - plus more hobbies too boring or bizarre for most folk).

He lives on an island paradise with his teenage daughter, longtime girlfriend and three dogs.
