Ok post your recipes here. Preferably personal variations on popular dishes. I want to see weird and wonderful stuff people so hop to it.

Take a cast iron skillet or some other range to oven-safe pan. Grease the sucker however you like. Pam, butter, whatever.

Eyeball the next part because pan size varies. Place any vegetable or meat in the pan you want. Make sure the meat is all the way cooked through though. Pour in enough beaten egg to cover the ingredients. Let the veggies warm and wilt in the pan. 

If some poke through that's fine, fry it till the eggs are semi-soft. Then place pan into preheated 350 Degree F. oven. Bake for about five minutes until cheese on top is melted or eggs are firm (If you don't like cheese.

If you did it right the whole thing will come out with little effort and then cut with a knife (Pizza cutter works best.)

It was my cheap-ass take on an Italian Omelet I saw on the Food Channel. 
If you're searching the lines for a point, well you've probably missed it; there was never anything there in the first place.
