Denver Omelet Scramble
I’m not really a fan of breakfast or breakfast for dinner, but my family loves it. Really, the only “breakfast food” I truly enjoy is Biscuits with Sausage Gravy. We don’t have that too often, though. Sometimes, I do give in and we do have breakfast for dinner. (Did you know that most breakfast meals are super budget-friendly, too?!)
Although my family enjoys traditional omelets, it’s a real pain in the neck to make seven of them! One of my solutions is to make Ziplock Omelets – everyone can add what they like and I can make them ALL at the same time – and no one gets cold food! Another thing I like to do, is to make our favorite omelets in to “scrambles” ….. same theory as the omelet – all the yummy mix-in’s are still there, just in a scrambled form! 🙂
Of course, this version is a spin off of the popular Denver Omelet with ham, onions, green peppers and mushrooms …. but really, you could make them with anything your family likes in omelets! Enjoy!

I like making scrambled eggs because that is really the only type of egg I can make that looks right – sunny side up/omelet and whatever else always look scrambled anyway! Love all the ingredients in your recipe, but the Cheddar won't be "optional" it will most definitely be "mandatory" Lol 🙂
Dinner for breakfast is my families favorite too! My husband and I used to always go to Denny's when we were first married and they have a scramble like this and it was our favorite to order – definitely pinning and trying! Thanks for this recipe, Jamie!

Mmm I love anything involving scrambled eggs. Last night I just opened up my fridge and put whatever I had into an omlet, sooo good 🙂

All of my omelets eventually turn into scrambles because I can never flip them properly without using a ton of butter. So I just give up and scramble. Still tasty, though, and this flavor combination sounds great!
I love omelets with peppers and onions but what really caught my eye on this post was your Mexican Breakfast Casserole. Headed over there now!
My hubby just loves this scramble, I will have to make for him. Thank you so much for sharing your delicious recipe with Full Plate Thursday.
Have a great weekend!

I really love breakfast, but it is the one meal that seems the hardest for me to put together. I've never thought of scrambling the omelets before, it's brilliant.
