Ingredients:
1 1/2 teaspoons each of butter and peanut oil or vegetable oil
3 beaten eggs
1/4 cup cooked, crumbled bacon
1/2 cup blanched or steamed spinach (remove liquid before adding to omelet or cover and cook in microwave until wilted)
1-2 ounces of real Swiss cheese (1/4 - 1/2 cup)
Salt and pepper to taste
1-2 dollops of sour cream
Instructions:
Heat a 7-10 inch egg pan over moderate heat (the smaller the pan, the thicker the omelet)
While the pan is heating, beat the eggs in a mixing bowl with a wire whip until blended but not frothy
When the pan is hot enough to sizzle a drop of water, add the butter and oil
When the butter stops foaming, whip the eggs a couple of times and pour into the pan
Let the eggs sit until they begin to cook around the edges
Lift the edges of the eggs with a rubber spatula and tip the pan to allow the liquid to run underneath
Repeat this process until the top is thickening and very little liquid egg remains
Add the bacon, Swiss cheese and blanched spinach across the bottom of the omelet and add salt and pepper, if desired
Fold in half and slide onto plate
If serving two, cut in half before sliding onto plates
Garnish with a dollop of sour cream

The beauty of omlets is that they're pretty good no matter what you put in them. Mix your eggs in cup/bowl with a nice pour spout. Add just a splash of milk and whatever spices you like (salt, pepper, garlic salt, chili powder). I like to saute some onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, and artichoke hearts seperately and fill my omlet with that and some grated mozzarella or jack cheese.

My fave omelet to make is a Mexican omelet. I got the recipe idea from recipezaar.com, but I tweaked it to my tastes. I add in salsa, fresh chopped green onions, cheese, and parsley. I also add in salt and pepper to taste and it is so good! I hope you will try it. It is definitely different, but worth it! Yum! Have a Blessed day! :)

You can make a good omelet by just cutting up some of your favorite vegetables and mixing it in with the eggs.
I don't think there is a limit on good omelets. Here's one I do for my wife on our anniversary. Lobster and asparagus.
3 eggs lightly beaten with
2 Tbl. spoons sour cream and
2tbl. spoons champagne.
These should all be at room temp.
Steam asparagus until tender.
Hollandaise sauce.
3 egg yolks well beaten
3 Tbl. butter
squeeze of lemon juice
Melt butter until bubbling slightly
Whisk egg yolk with one hand while SLOWLY pouring melted
Cook omelet until firm but moist. I hate overcooked eggs.
Fill with asparagus and fold, pour hollandaise over all. Serve with orange juice and champagne on a tray, in bed.
works well with shrimp too.
