This week has turned into apple week here at Feasting on Art. This still life was requested by my mother before she knew that my last post would feature an apple recipe based on my childhood memories. Strangely I made it a full 24 years without ever making an omelet and in a way I am quite happy that I held out for this one. It is so wonderfully delicious that I am glad it was my first. Made with homemade dulce de leche, it is the perfect addition to any brunch and with Mother’s Day just around the corner I felt it was an apt time for this lavish breakfast post.
