For me a typical western omelet. Ham, onion, green pepper and cheddar cheese, Many local variations abound. For example different cheeses and red, orange or other types of peppers. Even had one with a schmear of cream cheese across the top.

My current favorite is from a place called the Squeeze In. It's got chorizo, tomatoes, red bell pepper, jalapeños, avocado, and jack cheese. It comes with green salsa to pour over the top. Combine it with some potatoes covered in onions and cheese; and you've got a great meal!

My new healthy omelet: 4 egg whites, 1 yolk, 1/4 C of mushrooms, handful of onions and a sprinkle of cheddar....cooked in less than a tsp of olive oil.

It's actually quite tasty and I do not miss the 3 missing yokes.

Western for me eggs, ham, green and red peppers, onions and cheese.

Smoked salmon and brie on the inside and sour cream, diced tomatoes, and capers on top.

I think the quart size are freezer bags. They are heavier duty.

I think that is right. Online references say the plastic melts at 195F, so 212F seems questionable, but it worked.

My go-to is ham, onions, green pepper, mushrooms, swiss and cheddar, sprinkled with garlic pepper, and slathered with ketchup.

But I'll eat just about anything in an omelet.

I usually keep it simple: Shredded sharp cheddar and salsa.

Add me to the pro-sour cream list, though I actually whip it in with the eggs (along with some black pepper) before cooking it.

Asparagus, swiss cheese, thinly sliced ham, and mushrooms on the side. I usually prepare an omlette for dinner. For breakfast at a diner I like westen or greek style omlettes.

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt 1 cup butter softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped nuts

Preheat oven 375F
Combine flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl and set aside.
Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Gradually beat in flour mixture.
Stir in chocolate chips and nuts.
Drop by rounded tablespoon onto un-greased baking sheets. (optional. use parchment paper to prevent sticking)
Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown.
Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.

(Makes one serving...)

My favorite omelet it the Platte River Platter served at Dozens in Denver. Crab, shrimp, cheese and hollandaise sauce.

We 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.

Neat idea - never heard of that before.

Chorizo!

Chopped Jalapeños. Once had minced Rattlesnake added in south Texas, was actually quite good.

diced beer brat, mushrooms, fresh shredded cheddar cheese, black olive, green bell pepper,
