HAM AND CHEESE OMELETTE

• Beat eggs with 1 teaspoon chives, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and add to skillet, tilting skillet to distribute egg evenly on bottom of skillet. Cook until omelette has set at the edges. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese on top and fold omelette in half. Flip and cook until egg is entirely set and cheese inside has melted, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Slide onto a plate and sprinkle with remaining 1 teaspoon chives.

DELUXE HAM OMELET

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Whisk the eggs, cream, chives, garlic salt and pepper. Add egg mixture to skillet (mixture should set immediately at edges). , As eggs set, push cooked edges toward the center, letting uncooked portion flow underneath. When the eggs are set, spoon the ham, green pepper, tomato and mushrooms over one side; on one side and sprinkle with cheeses; fold other side over filling. Invert omelet onto a plate to serve.

SIMPLE HAM OMELETTE

Steps:

• Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat; add butter.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl whisk eggs together until light and fluffy, season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Pour eggs into the hot skillet. Whisk eggs and shake the skillet back and forth over the heat, until eggs begin to set. Let the cook until almost completely set, about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.
• Arrange the ham slices on half of the omelet. Using a rubber spatula, carefully loosen eggs from the edges of the skillet, and then fold the omelet in half over the ham slices.
• Transfer the omelet to a serving plate. Garnish with sliced tomato, thyme and cilantro. Serve immediately.

HAM AND MUSHROOM FRENCH ROLLED OMELET

Steps:

• Whisk the eggs together with a splash of cool water in a medium bowl until light and fluffy. Season with a pinch of salt. Set aside.
• Add olive oil to lightly coat a medium nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add the ham and cook until it begins to brown on all sides, about 4 minutes. Remove the ham from the pan and set aside. Add the mushrooms to the pan in an even layer; season with a pinch of salt. Cook until they begin to brown and wilt slightly, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Remove the mushrooms from the pan. Wipe the pan down with a paper towel. Return the pan to medium heat and add olive oil to coat. Add the eggs and cook until just set, frequently moving the edges from the pan with a rubber spatula. Sprinkle with some of the fontina and Gruyere, then add the ham and mushrooms and another layer of the cheeses. Roll the omelet to the opposite side of the pan, tilting as you go and roll onto a plate. Garnish with chives. Serve!

PERFECT OMELET

Steps:

• Beat the eggs: Soak 3 large eggs for 5 minutes in hot-not scalding-tap water. This will ensure that the omelet cooks faster, and the faster an omelet cooks, the more tender it's going to be. Crack the eggs into a small bowl or large bowl-shaped coffee mug. Season with a pinch of fine salt. Beat the eggs gently with a fork.
• TIP: I prefer a fork to a whisk for omelets because I don't want to work air into the eggs: Air bubbles are insulators and can slow down cooking if you're not careful.
• Heat the pan: Heat a 10-inch nonstick saute pan over medium to high heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon room-temperature unsalted butter. Once melted, spread the butter around the pan with a basting brush to ensure coverage.
• TIP: Heat your pan empty for a few minutes before adding the butter: Even a nonstick surface is pocked with microscopic pores that eggs can fill and grab hold of. Heat expands the metal, squeezing these openings shut.
• Add the eggs: Pour the eggs into the center of the pan and stir vigorously with a silicone spatula for 5 seconds. (Actually, it's not so much a matter of stirring with the spatula as holding the spatula relatively still and moving the pan around to stir the eggs.)
• Let them cook: As soon as curds begin to form (that's the stuff that looks like scrambled eggs), lift the pan and tilt it around until the excess liquid pours off the top of the curds and into the pan. Then use the spatula to shape the edge and make sure the omelet isn't sticking. Move the spatula around the edge of the egg mixture to help shape it into a round and loosen the edge. Then walk away. That's right-let that omelet sit unaccosted for 10 long seconds so it can develop a proper outer crust. Don't worry: Your patience will be rewarded.
• Finish the omelet: Time for the "jiggle" step: Simply shake the pan gently to make sure the omelet is indeed free of the pan. Lift up the far edge of the pan and snap it back toward you. Then use the spatula to fold over the one-third facing you.
• Change your grip on the pan handle from an overhand to an underhand and move to the plate, which you might want to lube with just a brief brushing of butter to make sure things don't bind up in transit. Slide the one-third farthest from you onto the plate and then ease the fold over. Imagine that you're making a tri-fold wallet out of eggs-because that's exactly what you're doing. And just ease the pan over. There, that wasn't so hard.

HEARTY HAM OMELET

Steps:

• In a 12-in. nonstick skillet, cook green pepper, ham, onion and mushrooms in butter until tender; remove from skillet and set aside. In a bowl, beat eggs with milk, parsley, salt and pepper. Pour into the skillet; cook over medium heat. As eggs set, lift edges, letting uncooked portion flow underneath. When eggs are set, spoon vegetable mixture over half the omelet. Top with half of the cheese. Fold omelet in half over filling. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Cover 1-2 minutes or until cheese melts. Serve on a warm platter.

GREEN EGGS AND HAM OMELET

Steps:

Transfer to a colander to drain, pressing out as much water as possible. Finely chop spinach; transfer to a medium bowl along with eggs. Whisk to combine and season with salt and pepper.
• Return skillet to heat and melt butter, tilting to coat pan; add egg mixture. Cook, stirring with a heatproof rubber spatula, until eggs begin to thicken, 30 seconds. With spatula, pull edges of omelet in toward center, tilting pan so uncooked eggs flow underneath. Cook until just set, 15 to 30 seconds.

HAM OMELET SANDWICH

Steps:

• In a small bowl, beat eggs, sugar and salt with a fork until blended but not frothy.
• Divide the butter in half and spread on each slice (1/2 tablespoon each).
• Heat the remaining teaspoon butter in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. When the butter melts, add the eggs and scramble for 5 seconds with a silicone spatula, then spread in a thin, even layer. Lay the ham over the wet eggs, then fold in the top, bottom and two sides of the egg-ham "pancake" to form a square or rectangle to match the dimensions of the bread. Continue cooking until the eggs are soft but not runny, about 1 minute for a soft set. When you press the egg packet, it should have a little give.
• Slide the egg onto the buttered side of one bread slice and sandwich with the other, buttered-side-down. Cut in half into triangles and serve or wrap in foil or wax paper to eat out of hand.
