I made this one up on the spot one morning -- had unexpected house guests and neither enough eggs to make some sort of omelet, nor enough pancake mix to make pancakes. So, I combined them both with some other ingredients and came up with a real treat.
In a large skillet that is oven-safe, I sauteed one large onion, which I diced, and about 1/2 cup of diced ham in a few tablespoons of olive oil. But you could use any ingredients you like -- breakfast meats or veggies.
As they're cooking, beat 4-6 eggs with a dollop of milk or half-and-half, and mix the eggs with a roughly equal amount of pancake batter (I like Aunt Jemimah Complete -- just add water and it's all done).
When your sauteed ingredients are done, pour the egg/pancake mixture over them, and gently stir them all together and allow the mixture to set in the pan. You could fold in some shredded cheese of your choice as well.
After the pan-elet has set for a few minutes, place it in a 400 degree oven for about 10 - 15 minutes, until it firms up and cooks through.
Slide it out of the pan, cut into slices and serve -- heartier and more filling than a mere omelet, this was a big hit at our breakfast table.
