I’d like to retract last week’s statement that peanut butter and salsa
don’t go together…
ESPECIALLY when it’s THIS peanut butter…
And THIS salsa!
After my disappointment with the combo of peanut butter and plain restaurant-style salsa, I just couldn’t let it go I decided to do a little taste-testing…
Little did I know that that single tortilla chip would spawn into such deliciousness…AND my breakfast for the next THREE days!
Behold the beauty of my sweet and spicy PEANUT BUTTERY omelette! 😀
Nothin’ ticks tastes like a Timex Thai-Mex!
Sorry…couldn’t help myself! 😉
Peanut Butter & Pepper Omelette
By:
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 5-6 minutes
Keywords: fry breakfast high protein egg whites Thai Mexican
Ingredients (Serves 1)
- 4 large egg whites (2/3 cup)
- 1/4 medium red bell pepper, sliced or diced
- 1/8 cup diced red onion
- 2 Tablespoons fruity salsa (I like Mrs. Renfro’s pineapple salsa)
- 1-2 Tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/2 Tablespoon coconut peanut butter spread (or regular peanut butter) thinned with water
Instructions
1. Heat a small, non-stick skillet to medium heat and coat with cooking spray.
2. Add egg whites to skillet and swirl around until the eggs coat the sides of the pan about half way up.
3. Allow to cook for 3-4 minutes and then add veggies, cilantro, and salsa.
4. Cook for another 2 minutes (egg will start to pull away from the pan a bit) then carefully fold over (or roll) omelette closed.
5. Plate and top with thinned peanut butter.
6. Garnish with more diced pepper and onion, peanuts, and chopped fresh cilantro.
My mind is STILL reeling from the flavor combo…coconut, peanuts, sweet peppers, spicy cilantro!
But it didn’t stop there.
Anyone catch a glimpse of that orange-drizzled toast in the background?
Seriously, go to TJ Maxx….after you find that mustard, you have GOT to get this honey!
Perfectly sweet with just a little kick behind it…
Yes, I will make anything into finger food! 😉
And if your omelette-making skills fail you you want to take the Thai-Mexican fusion even farther?
Breakfast tacos! 😀

Send me your egg crispies? 😉
Not enough strange for you today? Then head on over to Laura’s blog and check out what my fellow weird foodies have been mixing up this week!
What’s your favorite International cuisine?
Ethiopian!
Do you eat the egg crispies?
That is my very favorite PB – just had to say that. 🙂
I KNEW there had to be a way for that combo to work! Coconut and fruit… brilliant. Now… when are you coming back to ATL to cook for…. errrr… come see me again? 🙂
You are the most delicious strange goodness ever, my friend.
I wasn’t gonna let it get the best of me…by gone-it…peanut butter WILL go with EVERYTHING!! Well, except kittens…that could get a little messy! 😉
I really need to start planning to come cook…er, SEE you! We’ll definitely talk after my surgery! Who knows, if I’m miraculously healed before I can go back to work…? Score! 😀
I never have egg crispies to eat lol. I love Asian food. And this past week I had a PB and egg sandwich and it was da bomb!!!
Woo hoo! PB and eggs ftw!! How about this…egg, cheese, and jam? And it’s even better on cinnamon raisin toast! 😀
intriguing… I am going to need to try this when The BF isn’t around.. He already thinks I’m insane! 🙂
Insane is just another word for genius…at least in MY book anyway! 😉
will be trying the 2nd recipe for breakfast. thank you!
whoa!! both of these recipes sound amazing!!! we like egg crispies 🙂
I dont like egg crispies lol but I do make my whole eggs crispy when I cook them, simply by not whisking it when I make an omelette. That Thai-Mex thing sounds really good!
Heather: I have to admit that it doesn’t SOUND good, but it looks fantastic. Maybe I need to think outside the box. err, taco.
Haha, exactly! If it helps at all, I made this for my man-friend yesterday and he LOVED it! 😀
I’m officially making it my mission to make a coconut almond butter or soy nut butter – I get jealous every time I see that PB!
I was debating this last night and I seriously can’t decide on a favourite international cuisine! Italian, Mexican, Greek and Japanese are all so good!
Oh my gosh, how could I forget GREEK?! Man, I could really go for some falafel right now!
Mmm, coconut almond butter sounds soooo good! I might have to make some myself! As much as I LOVE peanut butter, I’ve been on a bit of an almond butter kick lately! …though I guess it’s kinda hard to tell from THIS post! 😉 Lol
I am completely addicted to that peanut butter! My mother-in-law saw it at her local discount store and texted me to see if I wanted to try it. I said heck yeah, so she bought me 20 jars! I am loving it! It feels like frosting to me. I love the coconut peanut butter combo…so good!
HOLY CRAP!!! 20 jars?!?! How much did she get them for? Wait, don’t tell me…I’ll just be green with envy! Lol
So very interesting!!! 🙂
This sounds amazing! I think peanut butter can go with anything! I also really want to try this flavor peanut butter and coconut, yes please!
Thank you, Nicole! And oh my gosh, YES…you have GOT to get your hands on some of this! By far, my favorite peanut butter! And the crunchy one is even better!
Wow, you’ve outdone yourself truly. It looks so pretty too and don’t hate me, but I’ve never tried the egg crispies. The grilled cheese crispies on the other hand, I demolish.
Ohhh, what you NEED to try…CHEESY egg crispies! Those, my friend, are pure perfection! And yes, I’m totally kissing my fingers Italian-style right now! 😉
