SPICY CAJUN OMELET
The kicked up filling of mushrooms, peppers, and celery is heightened by the heat of cayenne and the fresh flavor of basil and thyme. The smoky cheese brings the omelet home, blending the lightness of the eggs with the intensely flavored filling. Adapted from Fields of Greens cookbook.

Steps:
- Heat 1/3 tbls. of the oil in a medium saute pan; add the mushrooms and 1/8 teaspoons salt. Sear the mushrooms over high heat until golden, then add a few splashes of wine to the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes, until the pan is nearly dry. Move the mushrooms to a bowl and set aside.
- Heat the remaining 1/2 tbls. oil in the pan and add the onion; saute over medium heat until it begins to release its juices, 3-4 minutes, then add the celery, peppers, 1/4 teaspoons salt, 1/8 teaspoons cayenne, and the garlic. Saute for about 15 minutes, until the vegetables are tender. Combine the vegetables, mushrooms, basil, and thyme; add the salt and cayenne to taste.
- Season the eggs with 1/4 teaspoons salt and a few pinches of pepper; add the water and whisk. Melt the butter in an omelet pan if you have one, if not, use a nonstick skillet. When the butter is hot, add half the egg mixture. With a spatula, move the eggs toward the center of the pan as they begin to set on the edges. Tilt the pan so that the entire surface is covered again with wet eggs. As the eggs begin to set, place half the vegetable mixture in the center, then sprinkle with half the cheese. Gently fold the omelet over and turn it out onto a plate. Repeat with the second omelet. Enjoy!

RAJUN CAJUN OMELETTE
This is the way I did every morning I came into work with a hangover during Mardi Gras. I'd get to work early and have the chef whip me up one of these and I was ready to take on the 12 hour shift ahead of me. REALLY delicious!

Steps:
- In a small frying pan add your sausage, ham, onions, and bell peppers. Saute for about 3-4 minutes. You shouldn't need any butter or oil due to the fat content in your sausage. Once onions and bell peppers just start to soften add your garlic, take off heat and set aside.
- Heat butter and peanut oil in omelette pan on high.
- Whisk the eggs and water together until fluffy and combined.
- Once butter has completely melted into oil swirl butter and oil around to coat entire pan. Add your eggs to hot pan.
- Turn temp to Med-High and let cook about 1 minute or until edges begin to look cooked. Carefully push cooked edges towards the middle using a spatula. You want to allow the uncooked eggs to move to the edge and coat the bottom of the pan. Shake a little and make sure eggs are not sticking (they shouldn't because there should be plenty of "lube" with the butter and oil). Turn heat to Med.
- Once eggs look mainly cooked with very little rawness on the top you'll want to sprinkle lightly with creole seaoning, add your ham, sausage, onions, bell pepper, garlic and cheese. Flip half omelette over and onto itself and allow to cook for about 2 minutes or until cheese is fully melted.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with a bottle of louisiana hot sauce on the side.
- I usually make these one at a time, even when I'm entertaining. If you really want to add some pow then I suggest serving with creole sauce over the top. But really good with or without it.
- If serving a large group you can 5X the recipe and combine ingredients and pour into a 8x 12x glass baking dish and bake for 40 minutes at 350°F Be sure to place a small oven safe bowl filled with water inside of the oven with the dish while baking. Let sit for at least 10 minutes before serving. Should withstand the toothpick check by poking middle with toothpick and coming out clean by the 40 minutes. If not clean then let bake another 5-10 minutes or until done in middle.

Steps:
- Mix eggs, milk, salt and pepper and tabasco together and whisk into a froth. Go overboard if you want, the fluffier the eggs are the better they seem to taste (IMNSHO).
- Once eggs are in frying pan and cooking for a minute, add sausage.
- Right before folding eggs into omelette, add cheese so it doesnt get too melted. Use whatever kind of cheese you like. I usually use sharp cheddar, but you can use a mexican blend or I sometimes use Monterey Jack.
- Add two pieces of toast and a nice cup of chickory coffee and you've got a pretty good breakfast!

Tips for the Perfect Cajun Omelet
- Use fresh ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your omelet.
- Don't overcook the eggs. Omelets should be cooked until they are just set, but not rubbery.
- Be generous with the fillings. The more fillings you add, the more flavorful your omelet will be.
- Use a good quality Cajun seasoning. This will give your omelet a delicious, smoky flavor. If you don't have a Cajun seasoning, you can make your own with a combination of paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and black pepper.
- Serve the omelet immediately. Omelets are best enjoyed hot and fresh out of the pan.
Conclusion
The Cajun omelet is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its spicy and flavorful filling, it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. Serve with salsa, avocado, and sour cream to complete the meal.
