HOT 'N' SPICY OMELET

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet, melt butter and oil over medium-high heat. Whisk the eggs, water, garlic, salt and pepper. Add egg mixture to skillet (mixture should set immediately at edges). , As eggs set, push cooked edges toward the center, letting uncooked portion flow underneath. When the eggs are set; fold in half. Invert omelet onto a plate to serve. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes.

SPINACH AND GARLIC OMELET

Steps:

• Wash the spinach and wilt in a frying pan over medium-high heat. The water remaining on the spinach leaves after washing will be sufficient. Drain, allow to cool and squeeze out excess water. Chop medium-fine and toss with half the garlic and salt and pepper to taste.
• Break the eggs into another bowl and beat with a fork or a whisk until they are frothy. Whisk in the remaining garlic, salt and pepper to taste and 2 to 3 teaspoons milk.
• Heat an 8-inch nonstick omelet pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 teaspoons olive oil. Hold your hand an inch or two above the pan, and when it feels hot, pour the eggs into the middle of the pan, scraping every last bit into the pan with a rubber spatula. Swirl the pan to distribute the eggs evenly over the surface. Shake the pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up the edges of the omelet with the spatula in your other hand, to let the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking.
• As soon as the eggs are set on the bottom, sprinkle the spinach over the middle of the egg pancake and top with the Parmesan, then jerk the pan quickly away from you then back toward you so that the omelet folds over on itself. If you don't like your omelet runny in the middle (I do), jerk the pan again so that the omelet folds over once more. Cook for a minute or two longer. Tilt the pan and roll the omelet out onto a plate.

SPICY BAKED OMELET

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Spray an 8 1/2 x 8 1/2 in baking dish with Pam.
• Beat the eggs with the salt and pepper until foamy.
• Mix in the cubed ham, Rotel and cheese and mix well.
• Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until the eggs are set (every oven is different).

• Delicious and easy.

SPICY OMELETTE

Steps:

• Mix eggs, milk, salt and pepper and tabasco together and whisk into a froth. Go overboard if you want, the fluffier the eggs are the better they seem to taste (IMNSHO).
• Once eggs are in frying pan and cooking for a minute, add sausage.
• Right before folding eggs into omelette, add cheese so it doesnt get too melted. Use whatever kind of cheese you like. I usually use sharp cheddar, but you can use a mexican blend or I sometimes use Monterey Jack.
• Add two pieces of toast and a nice cup of chickory coffee and you've got a pretty good breakfast!

HERB OMELET PITA SANDWICH

Steps:

• Make the chopped salad: Combine tomato, cucumber, onion and chickpeas in a bowl. Season with salt, pepper and a pinch of red-pepper flakes. Toss well and set aside.
• Make the yogurt sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, garlic and lemon juice. Whisk in yogurt and a good pinch of salt. Set aside.
• Make the herb pancake: Put scallions, dill, parsley and cilantro in a mixing bowl. Add beaten eggs and stir well to make a thick green mixture. Whisk in baking powder, if using, and season well with salt and pepper.
• Warm olive oil in a 9- or 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add egg-herb mixture and spread across pan in an even layer, as if making an omelet or frittata. Cook for 2 or 3 minutes until bottom is set, then put on a lid and continue cooking until top is set, about 2 minutes or so. (Alternatively, finish cooking the top under broiler.) The herb pancake may be served warm or at room temperature.
• To serve, cut pita breads in half to make pockets. Place a slice of herb omelet in each pocket, and add a large spoonful of chopped salad. Top each pocket with about 2 tablespoons yogurt sauce.

CHILLI CHEESE OMELETTE

Steps:

• Chop the spring onion and coriander quite finely and beat the eggs together with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a small frying pan then tip in the onion, coriander and chilli and stir round the pan for a second or two so they soften a little. Pour in the eggs and keep them moving until two thirds have scrambled.
• Settle the eggs back down on the base of the pan, scatter over the cheese and cook for about a minute until the omelette is just set and the cheese has melted.
• Carefully fold the omelette using a palette knife and slide from the pan to a serving plate. Eat while the omelette is hot and the cheese still melted.

SPICY CAJUN OMELET

Steps:

• Heat 1/3 tbls. of the oil in a medium saute pan; add the mushrooms and 1/8 teaspoons salt. Sear the mushrooms over high heat until golden, then add a few splashes of wine to the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes, until the pan is nearly dry. Move the mushrooms to a bowl and set aside.
• Heat the remaining 1/2 tbls. oil in the pan and add the onion; saute over medium heat until it begins to release its juices, 3-4 minutes, then add the celery, peppers, 1/4 teaspoons salt, 1/8 teaspoons cayenne, and the garlic. Saute for about 15 minutes, until the vegetables are tender. Combine the vegetables, mushrooms, basil, and thyme; add the salt and cayenne to taste.
• Season the eggs with 1/4 teaspoons salt and a few pinches of pepper; add the water and whisk. Melt the butter in an omelet pan if you have one, if not, use a nonstick skillet. When the butter is hot, add half the egg mixture. With a spatula, move the eggs toward the center of the pan as they begin to set on the edges. Tilt the pan so that the entire surface is covered again with wet eggs. As the eggs begin to set, place half the vegetable mixture in the center, then sprinkle with half the cheese. Gently fold the omelet over and turn it out onto a plate. Repeat with the second omelet. Enjoy!
