Omelettes

[Morticia]

It's recipe time at the ranch.
What do you put in omelets? What do you like in omelets?
What kind of cheeses? Fillers?
What sides with your omelets?
Gomez is bored with the old standby mushroom and tomato. But he loves making omelets

ham and pepper
asparagus
spinach and mushroom

I love feta cheese in my omelets. I love veggie omlets... peppers (esp red), chives, broccoli, zucchini, tomato. Whatever sounds good.
Spinach and mushroom is also a big hit.

Love an omelet with a Mexican food flair - some salsa and a bit of sour cream. Bell peppers and ham go along with or without the additions.

I am boring...cheese please. Don't you just ask what they want in them? I would have to turn one down if it had any onions and any kind of peppers in it :-(

We do ask but all we have to put in them is cheese, tomatoes and mushrooms. We often, now, are asked to leave out the cheeses.
We're looking for some different things to have on hand. But not a whole garden!
And he's curious what cheese goes well with what fillers.

We serve them with a variety of hot sauces and always use the Mexican blend cheese for the filler.

I keep spinach in the freezer, I defrost and mix with the egg then fill with cheese.
Cheese & bacon is nice too.
Onion & tuna is favourite of mine.

• Asparagus, cheese and tomatoes (Precooked fiddleheads can replace asparagus in season).
• Mushroom, onions and ham (or bacon.)
• Potato and Chorizo (basically potato hash with chorizo, add a little rosemary.)
• Beet greens and feta cheese (in season, of course)
• Zucchini and tomato.
• Spinach and Parmesan cheese (touch of nutmeg.)
• Carmelized Onion, goat cheese and arugula.
• Pancetta, green onion and Parmesan.
• Green peas, fresh mint and mascarpone cheese. (1/3 cup peas, 1T mascarpone and 1T chopped mint).

When using tomatoes, I usually add them at the end so they aren't cooked, just warmed.
Still need more ideas?

sausage, cheese, hamburger,

My favorite at home is sauteed peppers (red, yellow, green), onions and ham with swiss cheese. I don't like swiss cheese unless it's melted in my omelet.
Canadian bacon, onions, mushrooms, cheddar

Consider trying out different types of mushrooms. Some can be kept dried and then re-hydrated. I've not experimented with other mushrooms myself, but I'm sure you'll find one that inspires you with it's flavor and pairing with other things.
What about smoked gouda? omg yum

Peameal bacon, if you have to translate to hubby, Morticia.

It's Canadian bacon here. He didn't even know the term peameal.

Well, a few miles north of you, we think Canadian Bacon is the name of a funny movie.

Try sausage and cheese, ham and swiss, and I love spinach with feta.

How about artichokes and parmasean cheese, never tried it, but I had some dip that was very tasty!

BTW, I know the mint pea sounds odd... and yet it's always cleaned from the plate.

I personally love an omelet loaded with all kinds of veggies. But for my location (even with a lot of out of towners), I didn't include veggies in the omelets.
Favorite here was a 3 cheese omelet - feta, cheddar, and mozzarella (or Swiss). I would do fried green tomatoes on the side sometimes or just red tomato slices with fresh herbs.
I always served some kind of meat on the side - bacon, sausage patties, sausage links, or ham.
I think the key is to find what works in your region/locale for the type of guests that you get. Also, what kind of breakfast niche you're trying to fit - gourmet, down home, cooked from scratch, simple & hearty, etc.

I'm chuckling. Guests here are 'load on the veggies, leave out the cheese!'
We're trying to find new ingredients for those folks who've eaten this same omelet a dozen times. But, maybe they order the same omelet when they go out for breakfast.
