MUSHROOM AND CHEESE OMELET
Feel free to whisk a tablespoon of minced fresh herbs into the eggs before they go in the pan--parsley, chives, tarragon and chervil are some classic choices (alone or in combination). Another rich, creamy cheese can be used in place of the triple creme.

Steps:
- Crack the eggs into a small bowl, and use a fork to beat them with the salt and pepper.
- Heat an 8-inch omelet pan or shallow skillet (preferably nonstick) over medium-high heat. Add the butter, let it melt and swirl the pan so it coats the bottom evenly. Pour the eggs into the pan and quickly shake and swirl so the eggs completely cover the bottom. Let the eggs firm up on the bottom, about 30 seconds, then use a rubber spatula to lift the edges of the omelet up so any uncooked egg on the top runs underneath.
- Sprinkle half of the eggs with the sauteed mushrooms and cheese and let it cook for another 30 seconds; the top should be moist but not quite runny (unless you like it runny). Flip the uncooked side of the eggs over the filling, and slide it onto a plate. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.
- Heat a very large skillet over medium high heat. Add the oil, then the mushrooms and garlic, season with salt and pepper and saute until the liquid has evaporated and the mushrooms have turned nicely browned, about 10 minutes. Taste, adjust seasonings and serve hot.
MUSHROOM, TOMATO AND ONION OMELET WITH HOME FRIES AND BACON
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place the bacon on a baking sheet and bake to the desired crispness, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, quarter the potatoes and place them and the garlic in a medium pot with cold water to cover; add salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat and simmer until potatoes are fully cooked and soft, about 15 minutes. Drain well.
- While potatoes are cooking, start on the omelet filling: Cut the onion into small dice; you'll need 1/2 cup. Remove and discard the stems from the mushrooms, then thinly slice the caps. Seed the tomatoes and cut into small dice.
- In a skillet over medium heat, sweat half of the onions, seasoned with salt, in some olive oil until translucent and soft, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms, season with salt, and continue cooking until slightly soft, another 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes; cook for 3 to 4 more minutes. Add salt to taste.
- Whisk the eggs together with 2 tablespoons water and 1/2 teaspoon salt until fluffy. Set aside.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat; add olive oil to coat the pan. Add the remaining 1/4 cup diced onions and cook for 2 minutes. Add the potatoes; cook until golden brown and crispy, about 6 minutes.
- Place a nonstick skillet over medium heat; add olive oil to coat. Add the egg mixture and cook until set, frequently moving the edges away from the pan with a rubber spatula. Sprinkle with a layer of shredded fontina, add the filling to the middle, and fold the omelet. Cook until the cheese has melted, another minute or two.
- Arrange all--bacon, home fries and omelet--on a serving platter, sprinkle with fresh chives, and serve with pumpernickel toast on the side.
MUSHROOM OMELET WITH CHIVES
Mushrooms are the most versatile of ingredients, with a meaty texture and a rich, deep flavor ideal for vegetarian dishes. When raw, they're elegant and delicious; when cooked, they become substantial. They are as welcome in a classic French omelet as they are in an Asian stir-fry. Mushrooms also are a nutritional bargain. Two ounces of sliced white mushrooms - about a cup - contain only 15 calories, and they are among the best dietary sources of B vitamins. Best of all, there are just so many mushroom dishes to try. This savory omelet is great for dinner or for brunch. If I'm making it for two, I make one large omelet in a 10-inch pan. It's just as easy as making two individual omelets, and both servings are ready at the same time.

Steps:
- Trim off the ends of the mushrooms, and cut into thick slices. Heat a large, heavy frying pan over medium-high heat, and add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Add the shallot, and cook, stirring, until it begins to soften, two or three minutes. Add the mushrooms, and cook, stirring or tossing in the pan, for a few minutes, until they begin to soften and sweat. Add salt to taste and the garlic, and cook, stirring often, until the mushrooms are tender, about five minutes. Stir in the parsley, season to taste with salt and pepper, and remove from the heat.
- If making individual omelets: Heat an 8-inch nonstick omelet pan over medium-high heat. Break 2 eggs into a bowl, and beat with a fork or a whisk until frothy. Add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste, and 2 teaspoons milk. Whisk in half the chives. Add 2 teaspoons of the olive oil to the pan. When the pan feels hot as you hold your hand above it, pour in the eggs, scraping every last bit into the pan. Tilt the pan to distribute the eggs evenly over the surface. Tilt it slightly again, and gently shake with one hand while lifting up the edges of the omelet with the spatula in your other hand so as to let the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking. Spread half the mushrooms down the middle of the eggs. Top with half the cheese. As soon as the eggs are set on the bottom (the top will still be runny), jerk the pan quickly away from you then back towards you so that the omelet folds over on itself. Shake in the pan for another minute if you don't like the omelet soft on the inside; for a moist omelet, tilt the pan at once and roll out onto a plate. Keep warm in a low oven while you repeat with the remaining eggs and herbs, and serve.
- If making 1 large omelet, heat a 10-inch nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Beat all 4 eggs in a bowl with the milk, salt and pepper, and the chives. Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in the pan, and follow the instructions for the 2-egg omelet, pouring all of the eggs into the pan. The eggs will take longer to set, and you may want to flip the omelet in the pan again after it's rolled, if the middle seems too runny. Roll the finished omelet onto a platter, or cut in half in the pan, and serve.
- Add 2 teaspoons of the olive oil to the pan. When the pan feels hot as you hold your hand above it, pour in the eggs, scraping every last bit into the pan. Tilt the pan to distribute the eggs evenly over the surface. Tilt it slightly again, and gently shake with one hand while lifting up the edges of the omelet with the spatula in your other hand so as to let the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking.
- Spread half the mushrooms down the middle of the eggs. Top with half the cheese. As soon as the eggs are set on the bottom (the top will still be runny), jerk the pan quickly away from you then back towards you so that the omelet folds over on itself. Shake in the pan for another minute if you don't like the omelet soft on the inside; for a moist omelet, tilt the pan at once and roll out onto a plate. Keep warm in a low oven while you repeat with the remaining eggs and herbs, and serve.

Steps:
- Break the eggs into a bowl and beat with a fork or a whisk until frothy. Whisk in salt and pepper to taste and 2 teaspoons milk.
- Heat an 8-inch nonstick omelet pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil or butter. When the oil feels hot when you hold your hand above it, or when the butter stops foaming, pour the eggs right 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, spoon the mushroom filling over the middle of the egg "pancake," and sprinkle the cheese over the mushrooms. Jerk the pan quickly away from you then back towards 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 longer. Tilt the pan and roll out the omelet onto a plate.

Tips:
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Always use fresh, high-quality mushrooms for the best flavor and texture.
- Chop Mushrooms Evenly: Chop the mushrooms evenly so they cook evenly in the omelet.
- Use a Non-Stick Skillet: A non-stick skillet will prevent the omelet from sticking and make it easier to flip.
- Cook the Mushrooms First: Cook the mushrooms before adding the eggs to the skillet. This will help them release their liquid and prevent the omelet from becoming watery.
- Don't Overcook the Eggs: Overcooked eggs will become tough and rubbery. Cook the omelet until the eggs are just set, but still slightly runny in the center.
- Serve Immediately: Serve the omelet immediately after cooking. This will ensure that it is at its best flavor and texture.
