Family Sized Cheese Omelet Recipes

PERFECT CHEESE OMELET

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).

CLASSIC CHEESE OMELET

Steps:

• Combine eggs and milk in bowl; beat with fork or whisk until well mixed. Season with salt and pepper, if desired.
• Melt butter in 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until sizzling; pour egg mixture into hot skillet. Cook 30 seconds or until bottom is set. Run heat proof spatula around edge of pan, lifting edges of eggs and allowing uncooked portions to flow underneath. Tilt pan, if necessary. Continue cooking, lifting eggs as needed, 1-2 minutes or until almost set.
• Remove from heat. Sprinkle cheese over half of omelet. Carefully fold other side of omelet over cheese. Carefully slide omelet onto serving plate. Sprinkle with parsley, if desired.

CHEESE OMELET

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!

CLASSIC FRENCH OMELETTE WITH SIDE SALAD

Steps:

• Combine the Dijon mustard, shallot and red wine vinegar in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil and 3 tablespoons chives. Set aside.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a 12-inch nonstick pan over medium heat. When the butter starts to bubble, add the eggs and the cold cubed butter, and begin to stir with a rubber spatula. Continue to stir until the eggs are half set, then reduce the heat to low.
• When the omelette is soft, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and top with the cheese on one side. Let the omelette sit over low heat, without touching it, for 1 minute, to let the heat of the pan set the eggs. Roll the omelette over the cheese so it forms a jelly roll shape, then roll the whole omelette onto a large dish. Lightly spread the remaining tablespoon butter over the omelette to coat. Toss the lettuce with the vinaigrette and serve alongside the omelette. Garnish the omelette with the remaining tablespoon chives.
