Don’t roast an entire pumpkin for an omelette. That would be silly.
Or do it, like I did.
Actually it was an acorn squash. But they’re similar in flavour. Really, you can use almost any kind of squash for this recipe. Pumpkin, acorn, butternut… these will all work. Just don’t waste a perfectly good spaghetti squash on this omelette.
(I should make a spaghetti squash omelette…)
And be careful with the nutmeg. It’s incredibly potent stuff. Since you’ll probably be using leftovers, I’ll assume you used nutmeg in the roasting process. If you didn’t, and are only making one or two omelettes, you’re probably better off omitting the nutmeg as it can overpower almost anything.
This is all about the filling. Make the physical omelette in any style you like.
Amounts are not exact, just suggestions. These recipes are general guidelines roughly aimed towards single egg, individual portions unless otherwise mentioned. Adjust as necessary. Play around. Have fun.
