    I got a complaint on my omelet this morning that the stuff
    I put in it was boring (shredded Kraft Mexican cheese and
    bits of raw sweet onion).

    Anyone have any simple ideas of things to put into
    an omelet?

    Thanks

    Generally speaking the pre-shredded cheeses are not very
    good - maybe that's part of the problem. But here are some
    of my favorites:

    - Caramelized onions and goat cheese.
    - Goat cheese by itself.
    - Smoked salmon
    - Cream cheese and chopped scallions
    - Salsa

    Have fun!

    I agree. Sauteed, almost carmelized would have been
    lovely!

    Well, I just had to try the cream cheese in the omelette,
    but I just had to add some raw onion. Seemed to me, the
    omelette would need the crunch. Was kinda ... strange,
    with the cream cheese, but not bad. I was happy the
    onions were raw.

    You forgot to say *damn*. Anyway they DAMN please. That

    Amen. But when I serve a bland food I try to have salsa on
    the table.

  4. carmelize the onion and add chopped red and yellow pepper or
    grilled asparagus...give it color..

    A better source of "crunch" in omlettes IMHO is chopped
    celery. :-) I use that also in meat, egg or pasta salads.

    I love celery and have never thought of it as omelet food.
    Interesting..... That's one for the back burner.

    Adds a gentle flavor and a slight crunch if you don't
    overcook it. :-)

    But, I use celery a lot in stir fry as well. I've come to
    prefer it cooked to raw. It's good sometimes just by itself
    as a cooked veggie with some mushrooms for contrast.

    Last night, I made a chicken and seafood stir fry with bok
    choy, and baby spinach, spiced with fresh ginger, garlic and
    lemon pepper, then prepared a pot of rice with chicken
    broth, sliced celery, purple scallions and a chopped white
    onion. I make the rice mix in the pressure cooker.

    Served the stir fry over that with a side of fresh
    sliced tomatoes and some steamed asparagus treated with
    lemon butter.

    Back when I ate them, my favourite filling was thin slices
    red onion, diced tomato and sour cream. blacksalt

  15. try making a sweet omelet for a change of pace.

    whip the eggs (with an electric beater) together with cream
    cheese, a tablespoon of sugar or splenda, and some vanilla.
    fry in butter. i crumble bacon on top of mine

    be careful not to overcook! they should be very light &
    fluffy

    **When I was young we used to go 'skinny dipping'. Now I
    just 'chunky dunk'.

    I often use leftovers in omelets.

    If I make spaghetti sauce and have leftovers the next
    morning, I will often take a slotted spoon and put it into
    the sauce and try to get some meat and
    tomatoes/onions/peppers with a minimum of the actual tomato
    sauce (you want to get as little of the sauce as you can),
    and warm it in the microwave and put that into an omelet
    with grated parmesan cheese. I've also done the same thing
    with leftover chili. I've used thinly sliced leftover steak
    (reheated in the microwave) in omelets before.

    Lunch meat works well in an omelet, such as sliced
    ham. Another favorite is corned beet and swiss cheese
    in an omelet.
