Tried something new to me

[Old Arkansawyer]

Last Saturday I smoked a 14lb brisket in the old backyard pit.
I always use the packer trim briskets and let the fat render and
keep the meat juicy.
With only 5 people eating, needless to say, there was a lot of
smoked meat left.
Now the new part, I had the misses fix me a breakfast omelet
this morning with onions, three kinds of peppers and some
finely chopped brisket. Maybe not one of my favorites as the
smokey flavor overpowered the omelet. I may try again using
less brisket.
Has anyone else had this or am I breaking new ground? If you
have had smoked brisket omelets, what is your opinion?

Sounds intriguing.

Leftover brisket usually entails sandwiches with horseradish or I will fry taters and onions and make hash.

I've heard of leftover tuna casserole, but what is this leftover brisket of which you speak, stranger?

With only 5 people eating, we just couldn't eat it all, so leftovers.

Understood. I was being a smart ***.

I ate a breakfast burrito made with egg and smoked carnitas (pork shoulder) just yesterday down in El Paso - it was delicious.
You'll be breaking new ground when you smoke Jell-o - everything else seems to have been done (and enjoyed) already.

Just my opinion but beef, any beef makes poor meat for an omelette. Just don't taste right.
Smoked beef is too overpowering as the OP stated.
Used brisket makes a good addition to a salad or you can make wraps with it or sandwiches as Rusty said.
Just not an omelette.

Pastrami is beef and it's mighty good in an omelet.

May have to try that next time I do a brisket. I normally use leftover brisket for sandwiches and burritos. If there's a bunch left I chop it up and freeze it in ziplocs. That or give it away.

Yes, I didn't mention that we sent some to an elderly couple who
are more or less home bound.

I thought you were tongue in cheek, just wasn't sure.

I occasionally make omelettes with finely chopped/diced beef. Tastes okay to me.

Slightly off topic but i ensure there is plenty of left over smoked hot Italian sausages every fall. They are vacuum sealed then frozen. Some get used in breakfast dishes through the winter. They go very well with eggs,peppers, onions and mushrooms.

And the neighbors like em

Yum! Brisket hash with eggs, home fries and hollandaise. Maybe some avocado if you insist on something healthy

I know both IHOP and Denny's offer several omelets with beef,
that tells me they are popular.

Our leftover smoked meats get made into dirty rice.
Sausage, beef, pork, turkey, etc.
Throw in some cooked shrimp right after the heat's turned off.

This thread is making me hungry.

OP 14Lbs for five eaters, heck that is less than 3lbs each! No room for beer but doable. :>)

Dice up some taters, and dice up some brisket (with a modicum of brisket fat) , peppers, onions, and make hash.
Good brisket, properly smoked, doesn’t work work with eggs.

Like this...



Or brisket chili...

Ye gads! What a depressing thought.
