M AP

Also known as a Western omelet, the Denver omelet is served across the West and Midwest,
usually with hash browns. No one is certain where or when it originated but some believe it
dates back to cowboy cattle drives, as the cowboys would have been able to trade for eggs
and take smoked ham and dried vegetables along with them on the trail.
