PARMALET (CRISP PARMESAN OMELET)
I was attempting to achieve a crispy, inside-out Parmesan omelet--and it worked! The caramelized cheese formed a thin but protective layer and, since the eggs had never directly touched the pan, they were moist and tender. This will also work whether you use one or three eggs, depending on the texture you're going for. Using a single egg is kind of a cool trick, since the cheese layer is almost as thick, and you can really appreciate the crispness even more.

Steps:
- Crack eggs into a mixing bowl. Add 1/4 teaspoon water. Whisk together until just beaten (do not overmix).
- Drizzle olive oil into 8-inch nonstick skillet. Brush evenly over the bottom of the pan. Evenly grate cheese into the skillet approximately 1/2-inch deep (or just shy of 1 ounce).
- Place pan over medium-high heat. Cheese will slowly start to melt. When cheese starts to bubble and turn golden brown, about 4 minutes, pour eggs evenly over cheese. Reduce heat to low. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Cover and let eggs cook on low until they are set, checking after the first 30 seconds. For 2 eggs, this should take about 1 minute, total cooking time. Remove pan from heat. Carefully use a spatula to fold "parmalet" in half. Transfer to serving plate.

OMELET WITH BACON AND PARMESAN CHEESE
Simplicity. The comfort of bacon with a touch of sophistication from Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Please do not add additional salt, it is not needed! I prepared this this morning to finish off a bottle of shredded Parmesan cheese. Each serving is a 3-egg omelet. The cooking time is long because I cook my bacon on low heat. But I can't stop you from cooking it your way, can I?

Steps:
- Cook 2 pieces of bacon on medium-low heat in 10-inch saute pan,until browned but not super crisp. After first side has browned, turn over to brown other side. The second side will take almost no time.
- Place cooked bacon on paper-towel-lined plate, and blot top with paper towel. When cool, crumble bacon and set aside.
- Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of bacon grease.
- With a fork, lightly beat eggs with Italian seasoning. Do not add salt; I don't think pepper is needed, either.
- Heat pan with remaining bacon grease to medium heat. Then pour in egg batter.
- As egg sets, gently push egg batter from pan's side toward 2 inches from center with a spatula, and repeat on other side. Let fluid egg batter fill exposed pan.
- Again, as egg sets, begin 90 degrees from before, push egg batter from pan's side, etc. The idea is to ensure that uncooked egg batter gets exposed to the heat. Try not to end up with all of the egg piled in the center of the pan. :wink:
- As top of egg starts to set, sprinkle crumbled bacon on one half of omelet. Sprinkle parmesan cheese across entire top surface of omelet. If bottom of omelet seems set, but top is not done, put a lid on the pan for about a minute to assist.
- When top has set, turn off heat, turn bacon-less half over to cover bacon half. With spatula, cut in half and serve half on one plate, and other half on another plate.
- Serves two, each is a 3-egg omelet.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients. The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the taste of your omelet. Use fresh eggs, bacon, and vegetables.
- Don't overcook the eggs. Omelets should be cooked until they are just set, but still slightly runny in the center. Otherwise, they will be tough and dry.
- Use a non-stick skillet. This will help to prevent the omelet from sticking and tearing.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you are making a large omelet, cook it in batches. Otherwise, the eggs will not cook evenly.
- Be creative with your fillings. You can add almost anything to an omelet, such as vegetables, cheese, meat, or seafood. Experiment and find your favorite combinations.
Conclusion:
Omelets are a quick, easy, and delicious meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover ingredients. With endless filling possibilities, omelets are a versatile dish that can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give an omelet a try!
