DENVER OMELET SANDWICHES FOR TWO

Steps:

• Whisk eggs, milk and black pepper in small bowl until blended. Stir in green peppers, ham and onions.
• Pour into 8-inch nonstick skillet sprayed with cooking spray; cover. Cook on medium heat 6 min. or until egg mixture is set but top is still slightly moist, occasionally lifting edge with spatula and tilting skillet to allow uncooked portion to flow underneath. Sprinkle cheese onto half the omelet. Slip spatula underneath omelet, tip skillet to loosen and gently fold omelet in half. Remove from heat; let stand, covered, 2 min.
• Cut omelet in half. Fill toast slices with omelet halves to make 2 sandwiches.

THE DENVER OMELET

Steps:

• Beat eggs until just combined; do not over-beat.
• Melt butter in a skillet over high heat. Add ham, onion, and bell pepper. Sprinkle in a nice pinch of salt and a touch of pepper. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until onions start to soften and ham begins to caramelize, about 5 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium-low and pour in the eggs. Mix briefly with a spatula while shaking the pan to ensure ingredients are evenly distributed. Quickly run the spatula along the edges of the omelet.
• Sprinkle Cheddar cheese and cayenne pepper over the omelet. Cook, shaking the pan occasionally, until the top is still wet but not runny, about 5 minutes. Fold omelet in half with your spatula and transfer to a plate.

DENVER OMELET

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and 1/2 teaspoon salt; set aside.
• In a medium (10-inch) nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high. When foaming, add the bell pepper and onion, season lightly with salt and pepper and stir to coat in the butter. Shake into an even layer and cook, undisturbed, until browned underneath, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the ham and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the mixture to another medium bowl, add the cheese, and stir to combine.
• Reduce the heat under the skillet to medium-low. Add 1/2 tablespoon butter and swirl to coat the pan. Whisk the egg mixture and pour half into the skillet. Cook without touching until the eggs around the edges of the pan are set, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Using a spatula, slightly pull the edge of the omelet in toward the center and, while holding the spatula in place, tilt the pan so that the egg runs to the empty skillet. Repeat this around the edge of the whole circle until the surface is nearly set but still shiny. (No runny egg will travel when you tilt the pan.)
• Spoon half the vegetable mixture onto half the egg, cover the skillet with a lid or baking sheet, and cook until the egg is set and the cheese is melted, 1 to 3 minutes. Run the spatula around the edges, then fold the naked half over the filling. Slide the omelet onto a plate, then repeat with the remaining butter, egg and filling.

• Keep the bread warm.
• Briefly whisk together the eggs, salt, and pepper and 2 tablespoons water.

• Scatter half of the bacon in the pan and cook until brown and crisp.
• Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and drain it.
• Add half of the butter to the pan, swirling it to coat the entire surface thoroughly.
• Stir in half the onion and bell pepper, and saute until softened and the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.

• Add half of the egg mixture and swirl it to coat the entire pan.
• Let the pan sit directly over the heat a few seconds, until the eggs firm in teh bottom of the pan.
• Sprinkle the cooked bacon evenly over the eggs.
• Tilt the pan so the uncooked egg can flow to the bottom of the pan.
• The eggs should cook just a touch longer than a traditional omelet, remaining moist but not wet at the center.
• Pull the pan sharply toward you several times, and then tilt the pan so that the back half of the omelet begins to roll over the front portion.
• Use a spatula to help fold over the eggs evenly.
• The omelet should be golden outside.
• Tip the omelet out onto one of the grilled bread slices, shaping it with the spatula, if needed.
• Top with the other slice of grilled bread; halve if you wish, and serve the first sandwich.
