Steps:
- Melt one tablespoon butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Place onion and bell pepper inside of the skillet. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes stirring occasionally until vegetables are just tender.
- While the vegetables are cooking beat the eggs with the milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper.
- Shred the cheese into a small bowl and set it aside.
- Remove the vegetables from heat, transfer them to another bowl and sprinkle the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt over them.
- Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter (in the skillet just used to cook the vegetables) over medium heat. Coat the skillet with the butter. When the butter is bubbly add the egg mixture and cook the egg for 2 minutes or until the eggs begin to set on the bottom of the pan. Gently lift the edges of the omelet with a spatula to let the uncooked part of the eggs flow toward the edges and cook. Continue cooking for 2 to 3 minutes or until the center of the omelet starts to look dry.
- Sprinkle the cheese over the omelet and spoon the vegetable mixture into the center of the omelet. Using a spatula gently fold one edge of the omelet over the vegetables. Let the omelet cook for another two minutes or until the cheese melts to your desired consistency. Slide the omelet out of the skillet and onto a plate. Cut in half and serve.

SPANISH POTATO OMELET
There's nothing too fancy about this rustic Spanish style omelet, just lots of hearty goodness from crispy fried potatoes and onions. Chopped tomatoes and green onions lend even more flavor and color.

POTATO AND VEGETABLE OMELET (BULGARIAN STYLE)
I just love eggs and often eat breakfast for dinner. Came across this recipe on the Internet and decided to post it for the Zaar World Tour. This particular one is so loaded with good things, it's a one dish meal. Or you can serve it with a simple salad and a little garlic or peasant bread. The original recipe calls for 4 tablespoons of oil, but I'm planning to cut that in half.

BAKED VEGETABLE OMELET
This is more filling than your average omelet. It goes great with salad and toast. A small food processor can really speed up the preparation (although I still prefer to shred the zucchini by hand).

VEGETABLE OMELETTE - PARSI OMLATE
This is Madhur Jaffrey's excellent recipe for what she calls an omelette and I call an egg... pie... thing... miracle. There is no flipping to create a half-moon shape; what you get is a fluffy, flavorful pan-ful of heaven. I only use 2 Tbsp of oil instead of her 5 Tbsp and the result is still amazing. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Grate the zucchini and mix with 3/4 tsp of the salt. Leave in a bowl for 30 minutes, then squeeze all the liquid out. Meanwhile, chop the onions as finely as you can, then dice the potatoes into 1/4 inch pieces. Finally, chop the tomato.
- Heat some oil in a pan measuring about 7-8inches across the bottom. Fry the onion over medium heat for about a minute, then add the potatoes and chili (add more chili if you want it hotter) and fry until potatoes become just soft, 5-10 minutes. Add the zucchini, tomato, cumin, the rest of the salt, cayenne, and a generous amount of black pepper. Stir until tomato becomes soft, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat to let cool.
- Thoroughly beat the eggs in a bowl then dump in the cooled vegetables along with some finely chopped parsley or cilantro. Stir everything together, then sprinkle in the baking powder, making sure it dissolves completely, and mix well again.
- Wipe clean your fry pan, add the last tablespoon of oil. When the oil is hot, set the temperature to med-low, pour in the egg mixture. Cover the pan (if you don't have a lid, use aluminum foil) and cook for 15-20 minutes or until the center gels. Here's the tricky part. You have to flip the whole pan over. To do this, use a dinner plate, place it over the pan holding it with one hand and use the other to lift and flip the pan. The bottom of the omelette should be a beautiful brown. Now, slide the omelette back into the pan so that the browned part is on top and cook another 5 minutes or so, uncovered. Flip it onto a plate again to serve.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a skillet and fry the potatoes slowly until they are tender - they should not color. (This could also be done in a deep fryer.) Meanwhile, beat the eggs lightly with the salt. When the potatoes are done, drain, reserving about 4 tablespoons of oil, and add the potatoes to the eggs, and let set 15 minutes.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the reserved oil in the skillet and sauté the onion until it is wilted. Add the chorizo and ham and cook for another couple of minutes, until the chorizo begins to give off its oil. Stir in the peas, limas, and piquillo pepper or pimiento, and cook 2 minutes more. Add this mixture to the eggs and let sit for 5 minutes.
- Heat another 2 tablespoons of reserved oil in a clean 10-inch skillet until very hot. (It must be very hot or the eggs will stick.) Add the egg mixture, spreading it out rapidly in the skillet with the aid of a pancake turner. Lower the heat to medium-high and shake the pan often to prevent sticking. When the eggs begin to brown underneath, invert a plate of the same size over the skillet and flip the omelet onto the plate, or slide onto a dish, cover with a second dish, and invert. Add about 1 tablespoon more of the oil to the pan, then slide the omelet back into the skillet to brown on the other side.
- Lower the heat to medium and flip the omelet two or three more times (this helps to give the omelet a good shape while it continues to cook), cooking briefly on each side and tucking in any rough edges with the back of the pancake turner. It should be juicy within. Transfer to a platter and cut into 8-10 wedges.
- Variation: Other cooked vegetables, such as asparagus, green beans, green pepper, or mushrooms, may be added to the omelet instead of or in addition to the peas and limas.
