CHEESE OMELETTE
My husband loves omelettes and nothing makes him happier. When cooking an omelette, it's important that you keep your temperature on the low side, as you don't want your omelette to get brown.

Steps:
- Beat eggs in a bowl with a whisk. Add milk and season with salt and white pepper. Whisk for a few minutes until egg mixture is foamy; beating in air makes the omelette fluffy.
- Melt butter in a small, nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in egg mixture and twirl skillet so bottom is evenly covered with egg. Cook for 1 minute until egg starts to set. Lift edges with a spatula and tilt the skillet so uncooked egg mixture can run towards the bottom of the skillet to set. Repeat until no visible liquid egg remains.
- Carefully flip omelette and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute. Sprinkle Emmentaler cheese in one line in the middle of the omelette and fold omelette in half. Cook for 20 seconds, then slide omelette onto plate.

Steps:
- Whisk the egg and milk in a bowl with a fork until thoroughly combined.
- Melt butter in a 6 or 8-inch omelette pan over medium heat (approximately 30 seconds) making sure it coats the bottom of the pan. As soon as the butter stops bubbling (and before it starts to brown) slowly pour in the egg mixture.
- Pour in the egg mixture tilting the pan to spread it evenly. Let the egg firm up a little, and after about ten-seconds shake the pan a bit and use a spatula to gently direct the mixture away from the sides and into the middle. Allow the remaining liquid to then flow into the space left at the sides of the pan.
- Continue to cook for another minute or so until the egg mixture holds together. Do not let the underside of the eggs brown.
- Sprinkle the top with the shredded cheese and with a spatula; gently fold the omelette in a half moon shape.
- Continue to cook another 30 seconds or until the omelette is thoroughly cooked through.
- Cool, cut into bite size pieces and serve.

CHEESE OMELETTE (OMELETTE AU FROMAGE)
This recipe comes from Urbain Dubois & Emile Bernard, "La Cuisine classique", 1864. Yes 1864. The flavor is great, and placing the parmesan cheese into the eggs separates the cheese flavors. Preparation time includes grating the cheese and mixing the eggs. Cooking times very to taste. Some like eggs well done, I prefer them just set. This I leave up to you to decide. This recipe yields 2 servings.

BACON, BELL, TOMATO, & CHEESE OMELETTE
There used to be a restaurant in Campbell, CA called The Cookbook where you could build your own omelette. My choice was bacon, green bell pepper, tomato and cheese but I have since added a little bit of red onion to the mix. I was very sad when this restaurant closed its doors and decided that I had to start making it myself!...

Steps:
- 1. Chop all veggies and crumble bacon (I usually use pre-cooked bacon just for the ease of it).
- 2. Sauté veggies in a pat of butter or bacon grease if you have it. Sauté until veggies are tender for 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- 3. Break eggs and add milk & salt & pepper to taste. Lightly whisk egg mixture. Add cooled sautéed veggies and bacon to egg mixture.
- 4. Spray omelette skillet with a little bit of non-stick cooking spray. Heat skillet on medium heat and add a little bit more butter or bacon fat to skillet then add egg mixture.
- 5. Cook omelette until the edges look dry.
- 6. Pull back edges allowing uncooked eggs to run over sides of omelette until all of the uncooked egg mixture is gone. With spatula, turn omelette over and cook for about 30 seconds.
- 7. Add cheese to one half of omelette.
- 8. Fold other half over cheese, allow cheese to melt and place on serving plate. Sprinkle lightly with paprika for color.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor and texture of your omelet.
- Beat the eggs well before cooking. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from becoming rubbery.
- Don't overcook the omelet. Cook it until it is just set, but still slightly runny in the center. This will make it more tender and flavorful.
- Be generous with the cheese. Cheese is what makes an omelet so delicious, so don't be afraid to use a lot of it.
- Add your favorite fillings. Omelets are a great way to use up leftover vegetables, meat, or cheese. Get creative and experiment with different combinations.
- Serve the omelet immediately. Omelets are best when they are served hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
Omelets are a delicious and versatile breakfast, lunch, or dinner option. They are quick and easy to make, and they can be tailored to your own personal taste. With a little practice, you can make perfect omelets every time.
