I like cheese, bacon, and green onions in my omelette.

A new favorite combination: Speck and Tomino cheese.

I also like Spanish omelettes!

Ham and cheese.

1 - Bacon & cheddar. Then just prior to serving add chopped tomato & some avocado slices (so they don't become too warm).

2 - Chili cheese. Surprised we haven't hear more on this one. The Camellia Grill in New Orleans used to make a fine example.

The lobster omelet at the Goring Hotel in London is great... :p

Anything and everything except mushrooms, olives, tofu or headcheese

I just mixed a pack of tofu (properly drained) with a beaten egg, a spoon each of sake, mirin, and soy sauce, some strands of red ginger and a few chives and fried the mixture in a wok.

Essentially it was a tofu omelet in the shape of golden fritters.

No idea what kind of tofu omelet you had. Mine were absolutely divine with a little sudachi ponzu. I'm looking forward to eating the rest of them for lunch tomorrow.

Tomatoes, cheese, mushrooms, bacon or sausage, etc.

Depends on my mood though.

I love egg white omelets. Problem is, I usually have a nice heaping helping of bacon on the side, which usually negates the health effects of egg whites. Though I get egg whites for the taste, not health.

I like to drown my omelets in maple syrup. Sounds odd, but it's actually pretty good.

I'll go for an Italian omelet/fritatta--got hooked on it in St. Louis' Italian "district", the Hill.

Or, if I'm the one making it, I'll throw in sausage, Parmesan, mozzarella, basil, oregano, garlic, some extra virgin olive oil, tomatoes, olives, green peppers...o.k. I gotta' stop. I'm getting hungry for one just thinking about it.

spanish tortillas are good - served cold with ketchup :p

otherwise, lightly sauteed green pepper, onion and mushroom together with swiss cheese make a good omelet

What on earth do you consider to be a spanish tortilla that you'd prefer to eat it cold? :confused:

In my part of the world (Spain) they are made with eggs, potatoes and salt - often with onions, occasionally with capsicum peppers.

With onions in they are very nice at room temperature. Either with or without the onions they are pretty unpleasant eaten cold. I guess some people will put ketchup on theirs :( - I think a light dusting of paprika is plenty.

When I said cold, I didn't mean refrigerated, only room temperature (as opposed to freshly cooked and hot) :o

My favorite tortilla is just as you described: egg, potato and onion

Ah! I'll forgive you the ketchup (I might add mayo if eating it in a sandwich), and I'm relieved to learn you don't like yours chilled cold either. As long as there's some onion in there it's definitely worth while allowing this omelette to gently cool down before eating.

Seriously, try the recipe I pasted in post#105. Really quick and simple and astonishingly good with the vinegar dipping sauce! Tortilla de patatas con catsup is halfway there.
