=============================================

PREPARATION AND COOKING TIME

Prep time: approximately 40 minutes 

Cooking time:  20 minutes

METHOD

Preheat the oven to 350F/180C.

Cook bacon

1. Peel potatoes and cook them in one of two ways:   

a. Either grate potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels so that when you cook them they will be crispy and then fry them in 2 Tbsp melted butter on medium heat, turning to brown evenly on both sides.  

b. Cut potatoes in quarters and thoroughly cook in boiling water or, preferably, cook on low for one to three hours. When done, drain and fry them in 2 Tbsp melted butter on medium heat, turning to brown evenly on both sides.  

2. Break eggs into a bowl and add 2 Tbsp milk. 

3. Beat eggs and milk together and then add cheese.

4. Add salt to taste.          

5. When potatoes are done, pour eggs into the frying pan to cover them.

6. Bake the omelet in the oven for about 20 minutes.

*Add well-cooked mushrooms and other well-cooked vegetables or meats if desired. Mushrooms are a wonderful source of fiber as well as being antifungal like carrots.

SOME TIPS AND COMMENTS

When cooking starches like potato and squash, it is best to cook potatoes on low heat for one to three hours to break down starch fibers.  If the starch molecules are not broken down, they may block capillaries. If you have digestive problems, we recommend initially avoiding undercooked vegetables with the exception of raw carrots.  When your digestive problems resolve, you can begin adding vegetables to your diet.  Raw carrots are an exception because they are an antifungal agent.  They are like a natural antibiotic because they may lower bacteria by absorbing it.  They may also absorb excess estrogen and provide fiber. 

Make a raw carrot salad your main salad.
