I like all kinds of different things inside and outside an omelet, But I don't like 'fluffy' eggs. The best I've had use well beaten eggs spread thin and wide on a large griddle, then rolled up like a burrito. I don't care for the traditional 'folded over' type, though I'm a master at making them for others.

What ever happens to be in the refrigerator, pantry and kitchen shelves. Cholula is almost a constant. Have to start with an equal amount of virgin olive oil and butter. Any of the following:and I am sure there are some items I've forgotten.
- Mustard
- gorgonzola or any other cheese
- any type of onions
- sweet peppers
- jalapenos
- roasted Hatch chilies and or
- white asparagus (when in season)
- ham - proscuitto or Iberico or Serrano
- salt
- pepper
- corn
- mushrooms
- tomato
- potato

Ham, sausage and cheddar cheese, but it has to be on some type of bread, preferably a Kaiser roll or a poppy seed bagel.
Also, I once had an omelet with shrimp, crab and cheddar cheese (at Elway's in Denver) and that was amazing.

I ate ham, onions, black olives, mushroom, sausage, chedder omelet and it was so delicious to eat the breakfast time in the morning at the hotels. I am very full that I ate breakfast buffet.

If you have a rice cooker
I've been really enjoying this simple rice cooker recipe for a baked fat omelet
http://justbento.com/handbook/recipe...mer-vegetables
My only alteration is that I add half a chopped onion to this recipe (red salad onion has been the best). Oh yes, and I add 4 eggs rather than 6 - even 3 big ones do the trick in my 5 cup rice cooker.
I tried making a Spanish tortilla de patatas with this method but it just didn't work out for me. For some reason it tasted bland - the baked 'frittata' recipe I linked to does need the grated parmesan for an umami kick.
I guess 'tortilla al horno' (baked tortilla) just isn't for me.
