Served with fresh ground and brewed coffee, plenty of crisp thick bacon, fresh baked toasted bread with jelly/jam (orange marmalade preferred) , and either country hash browns or bisquits and gravy.

old rugged crossI like a good omelet. Really cheddar or Swiss. The rest is a big plus. I do like mushrooms. Prefer bacon or sausage over ham, but just ever so slightly.

mbinkyOne egg, shredded cheese (various), Kalamata olives, and jalapeños. Top with a hot sauce of your choice. Delicious.

cheesegritsI like mine simple: ham, green pepper, onion, cheese. But I won't object to most ingredients, unless it's something egregious such as spinach or salmon or avocado.

SpinZoneI like to slice up thin any left over meat from dinner.
Try some left over grilled BBQ chicken breast or steak. Add cheese, scallions, tomato, what ever you like.

signewtmy preference in omlette recipes tend toward crisp fresh veggies such as lightly stir fry snow peas/fresh spinach/various sprouts/shoots (not all together)
add a touch of /various cheeses/sour cream/morels/chanterelles/ from time to time;
toasted sesame seeds/sweet onion sliced/diced red/yellow/green bell peppers/
there's a dozen variations with above list that are delightful on a rotating basis.
A 'just-plain tomato omelet' is a joy.
We do omelet on the weekend, although it's hard to choose when giving up the home made sour dough pan cakes....

SIG4EVAMy typical omelette is 2 eggs, sauteed onions, mushroom with 4 state cheddar cheese and tomatoes. If I feel spunky and fatty, I'll use Jalapeno Palmetto Cheese.

WOW. Last year I posted a pic of an omelet with a dab of sour cream and got roundly rebuked. You two are the first since that I've read who will add a bit at times. Good on ya!

JALLENWe had a class breakfast recently at the home of one of the classmates.
She had all the ingredients, bacon, ham, mushroons, onions, salsa, spinach, cheese, etc in separate containers. As each person approached the serving line, they received a baggie with two eggs, already broken, and were told to add the ingredients of their choice to the baggie. The baggie were then immersed in boiling water for 13 minutes, turning out one of the best omelettes I've ever had.
Biscuits, gravy, pastries, fruit, too.
Spinach, bacon, mushroom and cheese! Dang, it was terrific.
Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.
When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown April 05, 2017, 03:25 PM
OutnumberedLox or smoked salmon, cream cheese, onions, capers and/or tomatoes, if you like. Basically, standard bagels and lox without the bagels.
Simple, yet surprisingly delicious. The biggest thing with any omelette, in my opinion, is to not overcook the eggs to the point of browning.

Jim, that's a new one on me... "baggie omelet." No question though, sounds quite interesting!

Oh Yes! And for a minor thread drift, I love Eggs Nova Scotia (Lox) more than Eggs Benedict. Good stuff Maynard!
