What do you put in your omelets?
Assuming you like them, but do let us know if you don't!

I typically use Egg Beaters brand substitutes (cholesterol issues), and I add in onions, red peppers, mushrooms, red onions, bean sprouts, broccoli, a couple tablespoons of tomato sauce (high fiber w/less sugar brands), and topped with low fat 2% milk cheese (mozarrella, colby jack, et al).

:9

I've even thought about putting in mixed berries (raspberries, blackberries, blueberries) in an omelet.

What do you put in yours?

7. The one I made for breakfast last Sunday consisted of: real eggs
lox, lump crab meat, onions, capers, OLD Bay, and cream cheese topped with Bob's seafood sauce. My Sunday omelets tend to be a product of Saturday's leftovers.

9. Yum yum!
especially for the crab meat (I often use imitation crab meat; the fish they use (pollack?) is very low in cholesterol, fat, AND mercury, and just like with the orange roughy makes for a tasty and healthy fish.)

Onions (yellow, green or red), mushrooms, spinach :-(, broccoli, red/green/orange peppers, perhaps a bit of kubasa if I have it, sometimes finely diced potatoes...topped with goat cheddar, sea salt, lots of pepper, and sometimes kelp flakes.

10. Julia's Rules on omelets:
Julia Childs, that is.

2 eggs for each omelet
a little water, NEVER MILK OR CREAM
beat lightly, don't homogenize
3 INGREDIENTS, MAX!
small portions of ingredients
enough to cover about 1/3 of the eggs.

I like ham & cheese

11. I wonder why she says water and no milk or cream? I think the 3
ingredient rule is good. I tend to put too much stuff in them and then I can't taste any of it.

12. I can't stand cooked eggs.
I don't mind eggs used as ingredients in other stuff, and there are a couple of different ways I like raw eggs, but I can't stand cooked eggs. The texture is really gross, but what do you expect from coagulated cytoplasm?

15. At a place called The Black Dog cafe on ...

Martha's Vineyard (you've probably seen t-shirts / sweatshirts from the Black Dog...)

They had an omellette I'll never forget called Jack Goes Fishing.

In it was cream cheese and smoked bluefish. It was an excellent combination!

But here at home, I like to put onions, ham and swiss cheese.

16. If I make an omelet myself, it ends up as scrambled eggs.
:P :rofl: But either way, I put Canadian bacon and cheddar cheese, or I put onions, tomatoes, and green peppers. I like them lots of other ways too. :D

18. All kinds of stuff if I have it.
Cheese, mushrooms, sausage, ham, bacon, onions, green and red peppers, pepper, salt, parsely, garlic, and other stuff, too.

Not all of this at once, of course. It depends on what I have around, and how much I feel like cooking.
