Bacon Kebab with Mushroom "Duxelle" Omelette and Scallion Mash Potato Cake

I love eating breakfast food, but rarely get an opportunity to do so in the morning.  There is something about breakfast that I love that I cannot explain.  So tonight, I was craving breakfast for dinner aka brinner.  Plus it was another excuse to enjoy some of my home cured bacon I recently made.

The star of my dish tonight is my home cured bacon.  I sliced my bacon into thick chunks and cooked it off.  I started to think about the bacon as I stared at it on the plate after I cooked it and did not want to just put it on the plate.  So I grabbed a skewer and cherry tomatoes and started on my kebab.

The omelette was inspired by a picture I saw on my Instagram of someone making a striped mushroom omelette.  Which I have to make sometime soon, but I did not have all the right tools and ingredients tonight.  It is a very unique and artistic omelette that will make you wonder how it was prepared.

So I tried to do something artistic with my omelette tonight as well.  I had something else pictured in my head as I was preparing all the ingredients.  The "duxelle" part of the omelette consists of sauteed onion, garlic and Asian dried fungus.  Last minute, I added some red chili pepper for additional color and heat.  I originally was going to roll up the omelette, but after standing back and looking at it in the pan, I thought it would look more artistic if I cut it out and draped it on the bacon kebab.

For the mash potato cake, I used some leftover mash potatoes from last night.  I took the mash potato and formed it into a patty and crusted it with homemade breadcrumbs and set it in the freezer so it would hold better when I cook it.  This was topped off with scallions and served with sour cream.  The mash potato cake was cooked in the reserved bacon fat.  

For my presentation tonight, it was all changed last minute from what I had imagined originally.  I was going to plate the mash potato cake in the middle and have the little chunks of bacon surround it and have the omelette rolled up and set to the side of it.  I am much more satisfied and happy with the last minute changes I had made to my plate.
