What Do You Put In Your Omelette?

I love omelettes as well.
Onion, peppers, (NO)tomatoes:laugh:, ham, bacon, cheese. I like some new ideas I heard.

Ok, to add onto question.
I've always mixed my extra's with the eggs/egg whites and then in the pan, cook, flip and then cheese and fold.
When I was growing up I used to cook the egg separate, then flip and then put my other stuff in the middle and fold it over.

SO lots of great idea's...... do you also mix in with egg, or put in center.?

Hmm... I have NEVER flipped an omelette!!! I pour in my eggs, let them cook for awhile and just when it is starting to get not so runny in the middle, I throw in all my toppings, wait for the cheese to melt, then fold it over and slide onto my plate. I had never thought about flipping it!

Another question: does anyone else ever blow a fuse making an omelette on the stove and toasting an english muffin in the toaster at the same time? Because I seem to blow a fuse every time I have this meal for dinner... hahahahahaha. (AND my stove is gas!!! Makes NO SENSE!!!) Anyway... making eggs in the dark is hard.

I just nuke some frozen veggies (had broccoli, cauliflower and carrots last night) then add some piri piri spice and moroccan seasoning. Then I used a bit of tonkatsu sauce (japanese) and it was awesome

Okay, this might sound totally weird, but I like pineapple, ham, and cheese .

I like to use whatever veggies are in season or left over from the day before. I use whatever meat I have already cooked (leftovers, lunchmeat, etc.) It's a great way to use up that little bit of whatever doesn't quite make up a serving on its own. As for spices, depending upon what other stuff I put in, I may use one or a combination of: cumin, tumeric, rosemary, cilantro, chives, garlic (most of the time on this one), sage (have tons in my garden), or whatever floats my boat that day. Lately I've been trying to really load them up with veggies, they keep me fuller longer and the egg basically just holds them tgether. I also use whatever cheese needs to be used up first in my fridge. Okay, now I want an omlette. :happy:

Too bad I already had cereal. For some strange reason, I'm craving an omelet now..

I use 2 whole eggs, and half a cup of vegetables, consisting of onions, red peppers, zucchini and red onions. You can add or eliminate vegetables.

You just put the vegetables in a skillet or sautee pan, you can use oil to cook them but I don't. Cook on low for about 5 minutes or until they get soft (sometimes it takes less time, so watch to make sure they don't burn). Move the vegetables into a small skillet, one with no oil or anything in it. Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet, on top of the vegetables, and put the lid on, cooking on medium for about 3-5 minutes or until you see the egg start to "bubble" on the top. Remove the lid and flip the egg. The bottom might be a little brown, that is normal. Once the egg is flipped, cook for about 2 more minutes and then take it out. The vegetables should be all in the omelet. I eat this plain but you could also add cheese or put it on bread.

Another thing I do is make an omelet plain, and while doing that I cut slices of a Granny Smith apple. Pinch a little cinnamon on the apples and microwave or bake on low for about 2 minutes (watch that the slices aren't too thin or they will just dry out). Fill the omelet with the baked apple and you now have an apple cinnamon omelet! MMM!

Personally, I like onions, mushrooms, sausage and cheese topped with pace picante sauce.

Oh here's a cooking tip: Instead of trying to flip the half cooked, runny omelette in the pan, turn on the oven broiler for a few minutes and toss it in to cook the top of it. Not only do you not make a mess but it also rises a bit making the eggs lighter and fluffier. Obviously make sure to use an all metal pan. I learned that one off the internet somewhere and it works great!

I love omelettes. I usually make my omelettes with 1 large egg and 3 egg whites. Some of my favorite combos are

Spinach and feta
Shrimp broccoli and garlic
chicken, mushrooms, garlic and cheddar (50% reduced fat)
ham and pineapple
pulled pork, onion, peppers (usually from left overs)
shaved steak, onions, pepper, and garlic (usually from left overs)
proscuitto, basil, and mozzerella

I just had chicken enchilada eggs for breakfast and it was so good! I scrambled them but you could certainly make it omelet style.

leftover boneless skinless chicken breast
mexican blend cheese
enchilada sauce
sour cream
eggs of course.

well i do a lot of things... i love to cook a half onion, throw in some Hormel "real" bacon bits, a slice of light american cheese, and a small can of mild green chilis.. I also throw some tomato sauce on that... which i understand u cant have...

other one i like... sounds weird but protein packed! I scramble in a half cup of fat free cottage cheese & the bacon bits & sunflower nuts... not as weird as it sounds when u think about the fact that a lot of ppl put this on their salads.... just boiled eggs not scramble.

I don't really make "omelettes" either.. but I only eat the whites... the yolk is just fat & carbs...

You can put ANYTHING in them u want... any & all veggies.. meats... any sausage, chicken, i've heard of some w fish... yet to try that myself tho... i like chorizo... low fat.... soy... tofu... eggs are super versatile... make it YUMMY TO YOU!
