Only possibilities:
1. Basic, fluffy, with tarragon, preferably fresh. Can sub herbs d' provance, but not as good.
2. With gouda, so it can be still sort of runny but not dangerously uncooked.
3. Okay, tarragon and gouda work.
4. With Victoria brand green salsa in the bottle (this is GOOD, but don't combine with above.)
5. If ordering from a restaurant, with ham period. Don't trust them with cheese unless you're fond of rubber.
Frittatas: Ah, there's another story and all the rules go out the window. You can put darn near anything in a frittata and it will taste great. Not so for omelets.
Quiche - a whole other story.

Usually just stick to a ham/sausage, cheese, bell pepper sort of thing, but I do occasionally enjoy a chili/cheese omelette as well.

Egg white omelette with real fresh turkey, avocado, mushrooms and onions with a side of fruit. If you're in Southern California, there's a place in Costa Mesa/Newport Beach on Newport Blvd called the Side Street Cafe that has this on their menu along with many other delectables!
Mouth waters at the mere thought of it.

Since this thread first ran, I have been cooking up all these different omelets. My husband thoght he died and went to heaven. The one he seems to like the most is Onion, red pepper, garlic powder,a good cheese, shredded turkey (really fine) and tomato on the side
