Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 large eggs
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
Pinch of coarsely ground fresh pepper
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil or unsalted butter
1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 tablespoon thinly sliced scallion

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, salt, and pepper until frothy.
  • Heat an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium until your hand feels warm when held about 2 inches above the surface. Add oil or butter, and swirl to coat the bottom of skillet evenly.
  • Pour whisked eggs into skillet; let set slightly. With a heatproof flexible spatula, push eggs from edge toward center; tilt pan to let egg fill spaces. Repeat until omelet is just set, 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle cheese and scallion over half of the omelet, leaving the half closer to the skillet handle uncovered (to make it easier to remove from pan). Using the same spatula, gently fold omelet over filling. Tilt skillet, and slide filled omelet onto a serving plate (don't worry if there are a few rips).

Categories     Breakfast     Brunch Recipes

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 large eggs ((at room temperature))
1/8 tsp salt ((to taste))
1 tsp butter ((or cooking oil - see notes))
1/2 cup cheddar cheese ((grated))
1 Tbsp milk ((or use water - both are optional))

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine the 3 large eggs with salt, optional milk or water, and whisk or blend with a fork.
  • Heat a 9-inch non-stick skillet to medium heat and melt the butter (or use oil, or a combination of oil and butter), spreading to coat the entire skillet bottom.
  • Pour the beaten eggs into the center of your heated skillet and lift the handle to tilt the pan and spread the egg mixture out toward the skillet edge. Once the eggs begin to firm up, use a spatula to lift the edges, and tilt the remaining uncooked egg toward the edges. *Also, break any bubbles that are forming and fill them with the uncooked egg as well.
  • Let the omelet cook for about 10-15 seconds after filling any gaps and rounding out the edges. Then fill with half of the grated cheddar cheese. Use a spatula to flip the first edge inward over the filling, then the opposite edge to close the omelet.
  • Slide the cooked omelet onto a plate and finish topping with the remaining half of the cheese. Add any other condiments desired, serve, and enjoy!

Time 10m

2 eggs
2 teaspoons butter or margarine

Salt and pepper, if desired

Allow for a portion of the omelet to slide up side of skillet. Turn omelet onto warm plate, flipping folded portion of omelet over so far side is on bottom. Tuck sides of omelet under if desired.

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 organic large egg
1 teaspoon whole milk or water
1 tablespoon cheddar cheese, shredded (you can use other types of cheese)
1 teaspoon butter or oil

Steps:

  • Whisk the egg and milk in a bowl with a fork until thoroughly combined.

  • Pour in the egg mixture tilting the pan to spread it evenly. Let the egg firm up a little, and after about ten-seconds shake the pan a bit and use a spatula to gently direct the mixture away from the sides and into the middle. Allow the remaining liquid to then flow into the space left at the sides of the pan.
  • Continue to cook for another minute or so until the egg mixture holds together. Do not let the underside of the eggs brown.
  • Sprinkle the top with the shredded cheese and with a spatula; gently fold the omelette in a half moon shape.

  • Cool, cut into bite size pieces and serve.

CLASSIC CHEESE OMELET



Classic Cheese Omelet image

For breakfast or for dinner, there's nothing like a simple cheese omelet. This American diner style-omelet recipe is quick and easy to make and very satisfying.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Yield 1 omelet

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 eggs
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons finely shredded cheddar
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Chopped chives, sliced tomato, and buttered toast for serving

Steps:

  • Using a fork, beat eggs with 1 teaspoon water until yolks and whites are completely combined and no streaks remain. The water helps incorporate them and steams while the omelet cooks, which puffs it up. Season with 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt and a few cracks of pepper.
  • Heat butter in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high until foaming;swirl to coat. When foam subsides, pour eggs into center of skillet. Let stand 10 seconds. Stir eggs with a rubber spatula in a circular motion with one hand while shaking skillet with the other, about 15 seconds. Reduce heat to medium. Working your way around skillet, gather outer set eggs toward center, then tip skillet so runny eggs move to outside edges, about 1 minute. Lightly spread any remaining runny eggs evenly over top and cook until creamy but no longer wet.
  • Sprinkle cheddar onto far side of omelet. Remove from heat. Tip pan away from you; gently slide spatula under near side of omelet and fold up and over cheese. Slide onto a warm plate. Top with chopped chives and serve, with sliced tomato sprinkled with salt and buttered toast, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your omelet. Eggs should be fresh and at room temperature. Vegetables should be crisp and colorful. Cheese should be flavorful and well-melting.
  • Don't overcook the eggs. Omelets should be cooked until they are just set, but still slightly runny in the middle. Overcooked omelets are tough and rubbery.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the pan. If you add too many ingredients to the pan, the omelet will be thick and unevenly cooked. Stick to a thin layer of eggs and fillings.
  • Use a non-stick pan. This will help to prevent the omelet from sticking and tearing.
  • Let the omelet rest for a minute before serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to cut.

Conclusion:

Cheese omelets are a delicious and versatile breakfast, lunch, or dinner option. They are quick and easy to make, and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect cheese omelet every time.
