Omleta Alentejana (Alentejana Omlet)

This morning I realized I didn’t have fresh bread & the fridge was pretty bare. What to have for breakfast.. I found some old bread, eggs & some chourico, garlic & some cilantro.. The makings for a sopa Alentejana, but I wanted breakfast..
So, the creation of “Omleta Alentjana” is born..
cost, about .75 cents and made use of the old bread..

The cast,
2 eggs, old hard bread, chourico, garlic, and some milk and olive oil. (I forgot to put the cilantro in the picture). or you can use parsley as well.

In the skillet,
the garlic, chourico & some of the cilantro/parsley
cook just long enough to cook the garlic & take off the heat.

In a bowl,
beat the eggs with the milk 1/3 cup, & soak the bread in the mix.

remove the bread & place the egg mix in a greased skillet, (use olive oil or butter)

place the soaked bread, and the chourico garlic & parsley on one side of the eggs, & flip other side of egg over mix.

sprinkle with more diced cilantro/parsley
