Ramen Noodle Omelete

Super easy and cheap, this meal is great for anyone trying to eat on a budget, and sometimes just when the craving hits! I grew up eating these as my parents made them a lot when they were newly married and it just stuck. Probably one of the first meals I learned to make on my own!

Total Time: 10-15 min

Yield: 1 omelete

Ingredients:

1 package ramen noodles (I have only used chicken flavor) ($0.15)
1 egg ($0.10)
1/2 cup cheese (I use cheddar jack but any should work fine) ($0.50)

Steps:

Cook the pasta only, either on the stove or in the microwave until soft. Then drain
In a bowl, whip the egg and noodles together with a fork and then add in the spice packet. I only use half because its a bit too much favor without the water to tone it down.
Heat a skillet that has been sprayed with nonstick or tiny bit of oil as this usually sticks a lot, to medium heat. Pour pasta and egg mixture on and flatten with spatula.
Cook for a min or so on the one side and then flip over
Have cheese ready to sprinkle on top as soon as you flip it over. Turn the heat down a little so the cheese has a chance to melt. Remove from skillet and enjoy!

Same as KD flavor packets, those flavor packets are best reserved for poisoning pigeons in the park. A Tablespoon full from a 79 cent can of condensed vegetable soup will give your Ramen noodles just the right amount of flavor, and some token veggies on top. There is no need to use that pidgeon poison on YOUR food!

Have FUN!
