The Perfect Omelette (according to my taste buds) :)



This is my favorite omelette combination, not that I'm perfect in making it though...but I'm getting closer. :)

In a frypan, saute the following:

1-2 Tbsp. butter
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped fine
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped fine
4 green onions, sliced

When vegetables are getting tender, add:

1 ham steak, chopped
or 5 slices of lunchmeat ham, cut into small pieces

*Grate 1/2 c. medium cheddar cheese, set aside

In a small omelette pan:

Coat bottom of pan with butter or medium low heat.  I put my pan on a number 4. The pan is usually perfectly heated when the butter turns brown, but the browned butter doesn't make the egg look good, so I usually dump it and wipe it out with a paper towel. Then, I rebutter the bottom of the pan, let it melt, and add the whipped eggs to it. (If the pan is cold when you add the eggs and then heated, the eggs will stick to the bottom) Cook until the bottom 3/4 of the eggs are cooked, it's okay if the top is runny. Then maneuver your spatula under the eggs and tilt the pan so that most of the "egg pancake" is on the spatula while letting any of the runny part of the egg drip back into the pan, and flip over.

Immediately sprinkle half of the omelette with grated cheese and spoon sauteed vegees over the cheese. Use spatula to fold the empty side over the top, while holding in place for a few seconds. If eggs are done, remove immediately to a plate, sprinkle with a little more grated cheese and vegees.

I am not much of an egg lover but I can actually eat and enjoy this. Even better with hashbrowns. Mmmm...

2-3 eggs, whip eggs with hand mixer for a few seconds with salt and pepper
