Ground Meat Omelet Filling Recipes

MEAT LOVER'S OMELET

Steps:

• In small bowl, combine eggs and pepper, whisking to beat well.
• In a 10-inch nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat, rotating pan to coat bottom.
• Add egg mixture.
• As eggs begin to cook, gently lift edges with a spatula and tilt pan so uncooked portion flows underneath.
• Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until just set.
• Sprinkle cheese, bacon, sausage and ham evenly onto half of omelet.
• Fold omelet in half.
• Cook for 1 minute, or until cheese is melted.

WALK AWAY FOOLPROOF OMELET WITH DAD'S FILLING

Steps:

• Whisk the eggs in a bowl with 1 tablespoon water.
• Heat an 8- to 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and heat until melted and frothy, about 30 seconds. Add the hot dog and brown for 1 minute. Add the onions and cook for 1 more minute. Add the eggs and swirl around the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Add the cheese on top of the egg.
• Place the lid on the skillet, turn off the heat and walk away. Make some coffee, have an orange juice, make your toast, read the news, etc. Return in 5 to 7 minutes; the cheese should be melted and the eggs set. Roll up the omelet, place on a plate and serve. Enjoy!

PERFECT OMELETS

Steps:

• Have a serving plate ready. In a medium bowl, whisk eggs until frothy. Season with salt and pepper; whisk in scallions and/or herbs, if using.
• Heat butter in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high, tilting to coat pan; after foaming subsides, whisk eggs again, and add to skillet.
• Cook, stirring quickly with a heatproof rubber spatula, until eggs begin to thicken, about 30 seconds. With spatula, pull edges of omelet in toward center, tilting pan so uncooked eggs flow to edges of pan and underneath omelet. Cook until just set but still loose, 15 to 30 seconds (omelet will continue to cook once removed from heat).
• Sprinkle with filling. Using spatula, loosen omelet from skillet on all sides; shake pan to ensure it is completely released. Tilt pan toward serving plate; with spatula, working from side of skillet that's tilted up, fold 1/3 of omelet over the center.
• Simultaneously slide and roll omelet onto plate so that it folds over on itself again and lands seam side down. Brush or dab lightly with butter; serve immediately.
