- Heat the oil in a heavy based pan; sauté the onion and garlic for 2 minutes; add the sausage and cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Gently stir in the baby potatoes and diced red peppers.
- Combine the egg with the milk and pour over the potato mixture; and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Cook over a low heat for 10 minutes or until the omelette has almost set.
- Sprinkle with parsley and cheese and place under a preheated grill until browned and cooked through.

This was great! I did use a fresh red pepper and half of the amount of potatoes. I really liked the shaved parmesan I got to use for the first time. Woo hoo, branching out continues!! = ) My family really liked this and my middle son was disappointed that his dad ate the leftovers I told him he could have for breakfast. I will do this again for a dinner when I need something good, simple, and quick. Thanks! Made for ZWT 5 for the Genies of Gourmet.

We thought this was pretty good and it is very easy, but the potatoes need to be cut or else you just get a mouth full of potatoes and I cut the recipe in half and still served four! If I did the whole recipe, I would have to use two frying pans and do it in batches. Also, they key is in getting good chorizos because that is primarily what you taste. That and the parmesean.

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority!
<br>
<br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
