Through the years, my family has enjoyed this tasty omelet for brunch. Now, as a 71-year-old farm wife, I often prepare it for friends as we gather for our many "senior" functions.

BIG OLE TEX-MEX BURRITO OMELET



Big Ole Tex-Mex Burrito Omelet image

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h17m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 pound tomatillos, husked, rinsed and quartered
1 medium Vidalia onion, quartered
1 jalapeno pepper, halved
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 small bunch fresh cilantro
1 link Mexican chorizo casing removed
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Pinch of paprika
1 cup mixed canned beans (pinto, cannellini and/or black beans), drained and rinsed
Kosher salt and freshly
1 green bell pepper, chopped
8 large eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon milk
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
Mexican crema or sour cream, thinned with half-and-half, for garnish
1 plum tomato, seeded and chopped, for garnish

Steps:

  • Make the sauce: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Toss the tomatillos, onion, jalapeno and olive oil on a baking sheet and season with salt and black pepper. Roast until browned, about 45 minutes. Puree in a blender with the cilantro, thinning with water as needed. Season with salt.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the omelet: Cook the chorizo in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, breaking it up, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Stir the cumin, cayenne and paprika into the drippings in the skillet. Add the beans and saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper, then add the bell pepper and cook 1 to 2 more minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Whisk the eggs and milk in another bowl. Wipe out the skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add 1/2 tablespoon butter. Pour half of the egg mixture into the skillet and cook until the center is no longer liquid, loosening the edges with a rubber spatula and tilting the skillet to let the uncooked egg run underneath. Shake the pan to loosen the omelet, then spoon half of the bean mixture, chorizo and cheese down the center. Fold in both sides to cover the filling, then flip the omelet so it is seam-side down and cook 1 more minute. Repeat with the remaining butter, egg mixture and fillings to make another omelet. Top with the tomatillo sauce and garnish with the crema and tomato.

OMELETTE WITH AVOCADO, BACON AND MONTEREY JACK



Omelette with Avocado, Bacon and Monterey Jack image

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 1 to 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 eggs
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives, plus more for garnish
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh tarragon, plus more for garnish
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon crushed black peppercorns
2 to 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 thick slices peppered bacon, cooked until crisp
1/2 ripe avocado, sliced
3 slices Monterey Jack
Fresh chervil leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl and pour in the cream. Add the chives, tarragon, salt and pepper and whisk until well incorporated and foamy.
  • Preheat an 8-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and turn the heat down slightly. With a 4-ounce ladle, add one ladle of eggs to the pan. Immediately begin stirring with a spatula. (Cook's note: This is to heat the eggs through so they set like a custard. Keep swirling them around so the eggs aren't in one spot long enough to burn.)
  • Once the eggs begin to set, stop stirring. Transfer the pan to the oven for 1 1/2 minutes; the omelette should still have a soft custard touch
  • Top the omelette with the bacon, avocado and Monterey Jack. Return it to the oven for 30 seconds, just so the cheese begins to melt. Using an oven mitt to grip the handle, tip the pan sideways and roll the omelette onto a plate with the help of a spatula. Garnish with more chives and tarragon, and chervil.

CHEESE OMELET



Cheese Omelet image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 4m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 3

3 large Grade A eggs
2 slices American cheese
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Equipment: 9-inch non-stick skillet and an immersion blender
  • Add oil to the skillet over high heat, and heat it until small hairline ripples appear on the surface of the oil.
  • Break the eggs into tall glass or frappe cup and whisk to blend for 1 minute. (The Waffle House uses a 15,000 rpm malt shop mixer.)
  • While moving the skillet in a circular motion, pour in the eggs. Continue to move the skillet in a circular motion, allowing the outside of the eggs to cook and fluff up. When the outside edges have firmly cooked, flip the omelet and cook on the other side for approximately 30 seconds. Keep moving the pan in a circular motion, but not as often as before it was flipped. (Too much movement at this time will cause the omelet to fall.) Flip the omelet once more to finish cooking--no more than 30 additional seconds.
  • Overlap 2 slices of American cheese in the center of the omelet in a diamond shape.
  • Fold the omelet in half, being certain to cover the cheese slices, and slide it onto your plate.

BACON, MUSHROOM AND PEPPER JACK CHEESE OMELET



Bacon, Mushroom and Pepper Jack Cheese Omelet image

This is my version of the BMP Omelet that is served at our local Shari's Restaurant. I tapered it down to just 2 eggs for an individual serving, since their 3-egg omelet is a little too filling for me. And sometimes I omit the bacon pieces, and it's just as good. I don't really measure the filling ingredients, but rather just toss in whatever amount I want at the time. But I had to list specific quantities to post this recipe, which are rough estimates. So feel free to adjust the quantities of each ingredient to suit your taste preferences. The system would not accept "Pepper Jack Cheese" as an ingredient (no matter what I did, it changed that ingredient to Monterey Jack cheese). But Pepper Jack really is the variety of Monterey cheese you will want to use in order to get that peppery zing that is the focal point of this omelet. So I had to write that ingredient as cheese, then specify it to be grated Pepper Jack.

Categories     < 15 Mins

Time 10m

Yield 1 omelet, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon low-fat milk
1 pinch salt
1 pinch black pepper
1 strip bacon, cooked and crumbled into pieces
2 button mushrooms, sliced
1 1/2 ounces cheese, Pepper Jack, grated (more or less, to suit)
1 tablespoon black olives, sliced
1/2 green onion, sliced

Steps:

  • Lightly spray 8-inch skillet with no-stick spray. Heat skillet over medium heat.
  • In a bowl beat together eggs, milk, salt and pepper until frothy. Pour into heated skillet.
  • Cook, uncovered, without stirring for about 4 minutes and eggs start to set. As eggs start to set, run a spatula around the edge of the skillet and lift eggs slightly so the uncooked portion can flow underneath.
  • When eggs are almost set, sprinkle the crumbled bacon pieces, sliced mushrooms and Pepper Jack cheese down the center of the omelet; let cook another 1 to 2 minutes, or until eggs are set throughout and the cheese is just starting to melt.
  • Fold the omelet in thirds by folding one side of the omelet over the filling, and then folding the other side over the first side.
  • Transfer the omelet to a plate. Garnish the top of the omelet with sliced black olives and green onion slices.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 red-skinned potato (6 ounces), well scrubbed, halved, and thinly sliced
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 scallions, thinly sliced
Coarse salt and ground pepper
8 large eggs
1 1/4 cups plum tomatoes, coarsely chopped (about 2 tomatoes)
1/2 cup shredded pepper jack cheese (2 ounces)
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1/2 teaspoon fresh lime juice

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 10-inch broiler-proof skillet over medium-low heat. Add potato, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in garlic and all but 1 tablespoon of the scallions; season with salt and pepper and cook 1 minute.

  • Preheat broiler with rack 4 inches from the heat. Meanwhile, cook eggs on the stovetop, lifting the edges to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath, until the center is almost set, 8 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup cheese over the top, then broil in the oven until set, about 2 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, make a salsa by combining the remaining tomatoes, scallions, cilantro, and lime juice. Run a metal spatula around the edges of the pan and slide the omelette onto a platter. Serve cut into wedges with salsa.
