Cheese Omelet Recipes

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).

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.
