SOUTHWESTERN POTATO AND CELERY OMELET
This spicy omelet is much lighter than traditional cheese-packed Southwestern omelets. You don't need much oil to pan-fry this small amount of finely diced potato, and a little cheese goes a long way.

Steps:
- Heat 2 teaspoons of the oil over medium-high heat in an 8-inch omelet pan and add the celery. Cook 1 minute, until it begins to soften, and add the potatoes. Add salt and pepper to taste and cook, stirring often, until potatoes are lightly browned and just about tender, about 6 minutes. Stir in the chili and continue to cook, stirring, until the potato is tender, another 2 or 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
- Break the eggs into another bowl and beat with a fork or a whisk until they are frothy. Whisk in the milk, chives, cilantro, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Return the omelet pan to medium-high heat. Add the remaining teaspoon of 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 potato mixture down the middle of the "pancake" and top with the Monterey Jack, 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.

PARMALET (CRISP PARMESAN OMELET)
I was attempting to achieve a crispy, inside-out Parmesan omelet--and it worked! The caramelized cheese formed a thin but protective layer and, since the eggs had never directly touched the pan, they were moist and tender. This will also work whether you use one or three eggs, depending on the texture you're going for. Using a single egg is kind of a cool trick, since the cheese layer is almost as thick, and you can really appreciate the crispness even more.

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.
