In which I make a delicious omelette.

Items needed:

- 3 eggs

- meat of choice

- cheese of choice

- salt and pepper

Step 1: Preheat and oil pan.

I had the heat set between medium and low.

Step 2: Prepare Meat

I chose bacon ends. I first cutoff any huge chunks of fat.

Step 3: Fry meat

Step 4: While that cooks, scramble 3 eggs and add salt and pepper.

Step 5: When bacon is done pour eggs into pan.

Step 6: This is the delicate part to making an omelette. As eggs cook through, periodically work a spatula underneath omelette. Starting at the edges and slowly working towards the center as it cooks. This will prevent it from burning to pan and make it easier to fold. If you do this too early you will compromise the omelette's structural integrity.

Step 7: Add cheese of choice. I went with Havarti and Gouda.

Step 8: Carefully flip over one half.

Step 9: EAT!

Now I have to go to the supermarket to get bacon and ham. Damn your delicious looking food.

the best omelette I ever had was in Hawaii: kalua pork, jalapeños, fresh tomatoes, so good...

omelette

cutoff any huge chunks of fat.

wat. Grease pockets in an omelette are totally fine. Granted, it's not like you're using sharp cheddar, so your omelette is less greasy overall, but still.

One of the easiest meals to make but also one of the greatest

It's simply because I dislike biting into globules of fat. Can't do it with steak either.

These are basically the scraps of bacon so they don't do any trimming of the fat at the butcher. Usually about half the package is fat.

Inside? You're a madman. Some hashbrowns on the side would have been acceptable, but I could barely finish this as it is.

How else am I going to cram melted cheese, potatoes, bacon, and eggs into my facehole with one bite? I'm going for maximum nom nom AND efficiency. Only thing that would make this better is somehow incorporating orange juice into all this...

See, my perspective on this would be to trim *some* of the fat, and use it to do pan prep - render in place, remove scrap afterward. Cuts down on the globule-ness somewhat, and steeps more bacon-fat flavor into the rest of the omelette. Then again, my preferred omelette is more like an augmented and slightly more solid southern-style plate of slimey scrambleds, and less like a pan quiche.

Dude, what happened...?

I use a perfectly clean pan (with butter or oil) for my omelettes, and add any meat to the middle with the other fillings.

You need to get yourself some of these:

Consider a hash brown encrusted omelette... (Windmill restaurant in Holland, MI)

That's essentially what these are, just from my local butcher. These portions were a bit thin compared to what I usually get.

My b, I thought you chopped up the bacon yourself. The local butcher's stuff is probably better.

It was on sale. The cheapskate in me won out.

Gah! I was hoping n one would notice that corner.

I, for whatever reason was taught this way. Meat and vegetables get mixed with the eggs. Anything else goes in the fold.

I mean, I drank some OJ with it.

Interesting. Makes some sense, especially with the veggies, and means you only have to use one pan, or don't have to clean the pan after cooking your meat. Give the eggs-only in a clean pan a shot sometime. I also add a splash of milk to my eggs before beating them and whip them pretty good so they're airy before they go in the pan.
