THE DENVER OMELET



The Denver Omelet image

A change of pace from a French omelet, the Denver omelet is known for its firmer texture and caramelized flavor. It's one of the first foods I've ever learned to cook professionally, as a line cook in high school. Make it a complete lunch or dinner with arugula salad and toasted bread.

Time 20m

Yield 1

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 large eggs
1 tablespoon butter
¼ cup diced smoked ham
2 tablespoons diced onion
2 tablespoons diced green bell pepper
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
⅓ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 pinch cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Beat eggs until just combined; do not over-beat.
  • Melt butter in a skillet over high heat. Add ham, onion, and bell pepper. Sprinkle in a nice pinch of salt and a touch of pepper. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until onions start to soften and ham begins to caramelize, about 5 minutes.

DENVER OMELET PANINI



Denver Omelet Panini image

I was wanting something different for breakfast and was doing some browsing. I found a couple of recipes for omelet sandwiches but did not have the proper ingredients and was inspired to create this delicious breakfast treat. The bread I used was a green chili cheese bread; however any good quality bread cut 1/2 inch thick will work.
