Omelet With Bacon And Parmesan Cheese Recipes

PARMALET (CRISP PARMESAN OMELET)

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

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.

PARMESAN-POTATO AND BACON OMELET

Steps:

• Cook bacon in large nonstick skillet on medium-high heat until crisp. Remove bacon from skillet with slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Discard all but 3 Tbsp. drippings from skillet. Add potatoes and vegetables to reserved drippings; cook 7 min. or until potatoes are tender, stirring frequently. Return bacon to skillet; stir.
• Mix eggs, milk, 4 Tbsp. cheese and garlic powder until blended. Pour egg mixture evenly over potatoes and vegetables; cover.
• Cook on medium-low heat 15 min. or until eggs are almost set. Sprinkle with remaining cheese; cover. Let stand 5 min.
