CHEESE OMELET

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.

PERFECT CHEESE OMELET

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, salt, and pepper until frothy.
• Heat an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium until your hand feels warm when held about 2 inches above the surface. Add oil or butter, and swirl to coat the bottom of skillet evenly.
• Pour whisked eggs into skillet; let set slightly. With a heatproof flexible spatula, push eggs from edge toward center; tilt pan to let egg fill spaces. Repeat until omelet is just set, 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle cheese and scallion over half of the omelet, leaving the half closer to the skillet handle uncovered (to make it easier to remove from pan). Using the same spatula, gently fold omelet over filling. Tilt skillet, and slide filled omelet onto a serving plate (don't worry if there are a few rips).

BLUE CHEESE OMELET

Steps:

• Toast the walnuts in a preheated 300-degree oven for 15 minutes; set aside.
• In a heavy skillet over medium heat, saute the apple slices in 2 tablespoons of butter until they begin to brown.
• Remove from heat and reserve.
• In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, water, salt, pepper and cinnamon.
• Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a pan over medium-high heat.
• When butter begins to foam, tilt pan to cover entire surface.
• Quickly pour in the egg mixture and lift the edges of the omelet with a fork the moment the omelet begins to set, tilting the pan to allow the liquid egg to run under the omelet.
• Work all the way around the pan, tilting in all directions to ensure an even thickness.
• When only a little liquid egg remains on the surface of the omelet, distribute the cheese in a line down the center of the omelet.
• Top the cheese with the walnuts and apples.
• Using the fork, flip one-half of the omelet over the filling and slide the omelet out of the pan onto a warm plate.
• Allow the omelet to rest for about 2 minutes for the cheese to melt and the flavors to blend.

BACON & BLUE CHEESE OMELETTE (BLEU CHEESE OMELET)

Steps:

• Melt butter in frying pan over medium heat. Add bacon and heat until sizzling. Meanwhile, whisk eggs and cream together in a small bowl. Pour over bacon.
• Allow to cook until firm enough to flip. Cook until the underside is firm.
• Sprinkle 1 1/2 Tbls. of blue cheese over half the omelette and fold the other half of the omelette over the top. Sprinkle remaining blue cheese over the top and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

BUFFALO WINGS AND BLUE CHEESE OMELET

Steps:

• Whisk eggs together in a bowl. Whisk in water, salt, and pepper.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir chicken pieces in the hot butter until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Mix in Buffalo wing sauce; cook and stir for 30 seconds.
• Pour eggs into the skillet. Swirl eggs with a fork several times, working clockwise from the outside in, until slightly scrambled. Flatten eggs out into an even circle. Reduce heat and cook until set, 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle blue cheese over eggs; cook for 1 minute. Fold omelet in half and cook for 1 minute. Flip and cook on the second side, 30 seconds to 1 minute more.

CLASSIC CHEESE OMELET

Steps:

• Using a fork, beat eggs with 1 teaspoon water until yolks and whites are completely combined and no streaks remain. The water helps incorporate them and steams while the omelet cooks, which puffs it up. Season with 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt and a few cracks of pepper.
• Heat butter in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high until foaming;swirl to coat. When foam subsides, pour eggs into center of skillet. Let stand 10 seconds. Stir eggs with a rubber spatula in a circular motion with one hand while shaking skillet with the other, about 15 seconds. Reduce heat to medium. Working your way around skillet, gather outer set eggs toward center, then tip skillet so runny eggs move to outside edges, about 1 minute. Lightly spread any remaining runny eggs evenly over top and cook until creamy but no longer wet.
• Sprinkle cheddar onto far side of omelet. Remove from heat. Tip pan away from you; gently slide spatula under near side of omelet and fold up and over cheese. Slide onto a warm plate. Top with chopped chives and serve, with sliced tomato sprinkled with salt and buttered toast, if desired.
