Choco-omelet

When people ask me if I like to cook, I respond that I like to eat good food — which sometimes entails cooking.

I made an experimental breakfast dish a few days ago.  I have always made savory omelets before (with cheese and vegetables), but this one was a chocolate omelet.  The improvised recipe follows.

For a small omelet use the following; double for a large one and use a bigger frying pan.

1 egg (minus shell)
1 tsp butter
1 Tbsp half and half
1 Tbsp chocolate sauce (the kind to put on ice cream)
1/2 banana, sliced thinly
1 Tbsp chopped walnuts
a few raspberries, for garnish

Using a small (6" diameter) frying pan, heat the butter over a low medium.  Whisk the egg, chocolate sauce, and half & half together.  Then fry the egg mixture like an omelet (pushing the semi-solid egg mixture away from the pan's sides and letting the liquid move in its place).  Add the banana and ground walnuts when the egg mixture is has set (after a few minutes).  Fold and garnish with raspberries.
