Our absolute favorite is strawberries and cream cheese with a little bit of powdered sugar sprinkled over the finished omelet. Do not knock it until you try it. The Bayside Skillet in Ocean City, MD, serves a LOT of these week!

That sounds quite different. Rather like a crepe except with eggs instead of “thin pancakes”. How do you do it? Is the cream cheese in small chunks or just spread on the eggs with the strawberries layered on top, or do you mix the berries and cheese?

I’ve starting doing our omelets frittata style, especially when I’m making it for dinner. I start it on the stove in a cast iron pan and then finish in the oven under the broiler, no flipping that way. Easy way to make one big one for dinner. I recently made one with Swiss Chard, onions, red peppers and a little bit of Parmesan cheese. The kids wouldn’t touch it, but hubs and I loved it. It was a quick easy meal on night when we were very close to ordering take-out.

Sounds like a great idea! I have done that in the past; need to do it more.

We must have cheese (cheddar, havarti, smoked gouda, soft goat cheese are all favorites) and usually have sauteed shallots or onions. After that, it’s dependent on what’s available: tomatoes, zucchini, mushrooms, leeks, salsa, etc… One of our favorite combos is kind of a half-frittata, half-omelet: we cook some diced potatoes and shallots in a little butter and oil, putting the lid on to steam it for a bit until done, then pour the beaten eggs over it. The cheese is added to the center, and after the top is cooked the whole thing is flipped into an omelet shape. Yum! The kids also like it when I mix bean sprouts into the eggs and serve it omelet-style with green onions and ponzu. But plain omelets with cheese and shallots is our go-to basic recipe.

We eat omelets a lot. I like to make them when I have little things leftover. Last night we had omelets for dinner. I had some sharp cheddar, 2 strips of bacon, 4 mushrooms and a little yellow onion leftover in the fridge. I diced it all up and sautéed the veggies after I cooked up the bacon. Great omelets. The kids really liked them. Even the one that doesn’t like eggs that much. The possibilities really are endless. Super cheap meal too!
