sausage & American cheese.

spinach, mushroom, tomatoes, red pepper, and cheese.

Agree on that.

And the only way to eat this 'classic' version is hot - straight from the pan.

If a bar or restaurant tries to give you one of these (without onion in it) and it isn't freshly made, find somewhere else to eat immediately if you were hoping to eat well. It's the perfect barometer dish for gaging standards.

Basil, thyme, parsley, grated Monterey Jack cheese,tomatoes, caramelized onions, red peppers (they're the sweetest) and diced ham.
We'll be going to the Caribbean next week and I'm planning on having one every day. :cool:

I like a western with cheese

also TONS of salsa on it.

And any kind of veggies is great!

Guess what we are having for breakfast!!!

....hmmmm, grilled lobster medallions and goat cheese and some carmelized Maui onions...

of course all washed down with some Piper Heidsieck (sp?)...lol...:)

Lots of meat, onions and swiss cheese.

Black Truffle, now only if I could afford to buy some.

Avocado and cheese.

+1 me also.

Usually I don't order omelete very often when dining at restaurants in HK. But last week, I ordered one which had diced Cha Siu (Chinese Barbequed Pork) inside it. Tasted quite descent and I certainly would not hesitate to include this when I make omeletes of my own in the future. ^

A local egg place (very good bennies and omelettes) has one called "Bonne Femme". Bacon, swiss chess, and lots of mushrooms. Ultra yummy.

turkey sausage and cheese.

or Mushroom and cheese if they don't have turkey sausage

My latest favorite omelet: gyro meat and feta cheese^^

ham+cheese

Ham and cheese is good... I also like veggies (spinach, mushroom, peppers, and onions) with pepper jack cheese. Nice kick, and none of that greasy feel that breakfast meat invariably imparts.

I prefer tomato, spinach, mushrooms and cheese. Sometimes ham or bacon.

I like spinach, feta, carmelized onions, and a little grated lemon peel. Of course there's also beans, cheese, salsa, cilantro, and avocado.

Onions, jalapenos, and cheese.

What Do You Like in an Omelette?
 

I just realized that this forum does not have an Omelette topic.

I love omelettes, I try to enjoy one every week, or when I happen to be in a nicer hotel chain such as the Sheraton, Hilton or Marriott, if their buffet contains an omelette station (the only attraction, at least for me, when it comes to breakfast buffets).

I love green peppers, ham squares, mushrooms and onions in my omelettes. Sometimes I'll go only vegetables in an omelette as well. Balance for me is the key.

I dislike too much cheese in my omelettes (down with Three Cheese omelettes!).

How about you all?

Eggs. Salt. Pepper.

Ham, mushroom. Keep it simple~

In true cooking show style - here's one we prepared earlier:

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/dinin...ke-omelet.html

Interesting, did not find that on a search of omelette or it's mispellings...

"Aux fin' herbes" or ingredients to that effect......Eggs, a bit of water, herbs and enough butter, light and airy, not the sodden lump of hotel buffets based on eggs beaten in a blender (Quel horreur!!!) before the cook's shift started. Flat leaf parsley, fresh Chives, basil, chervil, thyme, but for me tarragon's too strong for an omelet. Garlic chive and a bit of green onion tops are also OK.

While I do occasionally order eggs with some of the "omelet station" standard ingredients (which seemed to center upon flavorless processed cheeses and "ham" the only provenance of which is that the water-filled tasteless meat may have originated on a pig), they would have been far better "tortilla"-style (baked) or even better, a "torta", "broiled" with a good melting cheese atop the mixture.

Exception to the above: When I find a place with decent (Mexican) chorizo, queso cotijo and chipoltles in adobo (and corn tortillas, since tortillas de harina are for Sundays and holidays)

If by 'tortilla' you mean in the Spanish from Spain style, these fat omelets are not typically baked.

I'll assume the torta you're describing is something from the Americas.

I was trying to remember the name of the Northern Italian version, but had seen the broiled dish in Mexico (where a torta is also a sandwich). My favorite tortillas in Spain came from joint that rtan them under a salamander for a moment to brown the top.

"Crustless Quiche"

I just made a nice one filled with corned beef hash. Greasy as hell, but oh so delicious.

I probably shouldn't have more than one of these a month though. Veggie fillings are definitely better for you. :)

Hmmm. I can't help but regard this technique as a 'domestic' cheat, less skill involved and it saves washing up the extra plate you need to turn it over in the pan. I think the 'tortilla al horno' is gaining in popularity now as a way to cut down on oil and make the tortillas less fattening (or more profitable, olive oil not being so cheap as it was)

As you said, more of a crustless quiche than a tortilla.

I'm with you . . . too much cheese can kill a decent omelet. For me, mushrooms & ham, with light cheddar on top (NEVER inside!).

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.:)

Ham, mushrooms, with onions optional. Hold the cheese, please.

I'm fine with Omelet Ham and Onions or Omelet Ham and Cheese.

Ham, Cheddar, mushrooms and onions. Had it all over the world and am always happy with the results.

Had a ham, basil, fontina, and Parmesan this morning, properly cooked to runny perfection. Wasn't sure about the basil at first, but it worked!

Avacado, bean sprouts, fresh tomatoes and carmalized onions...ummmm

lotsa vegetables, a little cheese, maybe some ham

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.

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.
