WESTERN OMELETTE WITH BELL PEPPER, ONION, HAM, AND CHEESE RECIPE



Western Omelette With Bell Pepper, Onion, Ham, and Cheese Recipe image

This Western omelette truly tastes like the West, thanks to nicely browned onions, bell peppers, and ham, and a pinch of smoked paprika to give it all a whiff of campfire smoke.

Categories     Breakfast and Brunch

Time 25m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 large eggs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black or white pepper
2 ounces (55g) grated cheddar, pepper Jack, or Swiss cheese
2 tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter, divided
Half of one large green, red, or yellow bell pepper (4 oz; 110g), stemmed, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch dice
One quarter of one medium yellow onion (2 oz; 55g), cut into 1/2-inch dice
Pinch smoked paprika
2 1/2 ounces (70g) ham (about 3 slices), cut into 1/2-inch pieces

Steps:

  • In a medium mixing bowl, season eggs with salt and pepper, then whisk until homogeneous and frothy. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, add cheese to a medium heatproof mixing bowl. In a 10-inch nonstick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high heat, swirling, until lightly browned. Add bell pepper and onion, season with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and beginning to brown, about 6 minutes. Add ham and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables and ham are browned in spots and smell pleasantly smoky, about 5 minutes longer. Stir in smoked paprika and freshly ground black pepper. Scrape vegetables and ham into the cheese and stir to combine.
  • Wipe out skillet and set over medium heat. Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter and cook until melted and lightly browned. Re-whisk eggs until foamy, then add to skillet and cook, using a silicone spatula to push the edges in toward the center as they set and tilting the pan to spread the uncooked egg underneath. Continue pushing in the edges of the eggs and tilting the skillet, working all around the pan, until omelette is almost set, about 45 seconds.
  • Sprinkle ham, vegetables, and cheese over half of omelette, remove from heat, cover, and let omelette sit until mostly or fully cooked through on top (depending on your preferred consistency), about 1 minute.
  • Using silicone spatula, loosen the edges of the omelette from skillet and shake skillet to ensure that it's not stuck. Carefully fold omelette in half to enclose the filling, then slide it onto a serving plate and serve immediately.

EGG WHITE OMELET WITH PARMESAN AND TARRAGON



Egg White Omelet with Parmesan and Tarragon image

I realize that most people who avoid egg yolks, eating only the whites, are looking to conserve calories and eat healthfully. I make egg white omelets for a different reason: egg whites are a blank canvas and leave room for the flavors and textures of herbs and cheese to truly shine. Be sure to use the freshest eggs you can find, because fresh egg whites are denser and cook up heartier than thin older whites. In this omelet, the egg white takes the tarragon and Parmesan and runs with them. By the way, this omelet can easily be made without the cheese and with the addition of roasted mushrooms or cherry tomatoes. I like the "lean" egg white mingling with the rich cheese.

Categories     main-dish

Time 10m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 large egg whites
2 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, plus more for buttering the omelet (optional)
1 tablespoon fresh tarragon leaves
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
1 lemon wedge

Steps:

  • Prepare the egg whites: In a bowl, whisk the egg whites with the salt and a pinch of pepper. Whisk only enough to integrate the eggs. You don't want to whip too much air into them or make them frothy.
  • Cook the omelet: Place a 6-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Swirl the butter around as it melts so it coats the whole surface of the pan. When the butter is melted (but not browned), reduce the heat and pour in the egg whites. Use a fork to stir the eggs slightly, as if you were scrambling them. Then allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle the tarragon and cheese over the eggs, and then squeeze a little juice from the lemon wedge over the top.
  • Finish: Lift the handle of the pan up, tilting the pan away from you and toward the heat. Fold the edge of the omelet closest to you toward the center. Fold the other edge toward the center and tilt the pan over the center of a plate so it lands seam-side down. Butter the omelet, if desired. Serve immediately.

WESTERN OMELETTE

French omelets are smooth and sunny yellow with the filling rolled neatly inside. This is a western American-style omelet; the goodies are mixed up with the egg and given a good tanning in the pan.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 large eggs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/2 green bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1/2 red bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch dice
6 ounces boiled ham (in one piece), cut into 1/2-inch dice
4 scallions (white and green), roughly chopped
1/2 cup grated white cheese (about 2 ounces), such as Monterey Jack, cheddar, or Gouda (optional)

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, beat together 3 of the eggs and season lightly with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons of the butter in a small non-stick skillet, with tight-fitting lid, over medium heat. Add the peppers and cook, covered, without stirring, until tender, about 3 minutes. Uncover and raise the heat to medium-high. Add the ham and scallions and cook, stirring frequently, until hot, about 1 minute. Transfer the mixture to a bowl.
  • Melt a nut-sized piece of the remaining butter in the skillet over medium heat. When the foam subsides, add 1/4 of the pepper mixture. Pour in the beaten eggs and cook, stirring constantly with a heat-resistant rubber spatula, until just cooked, about 30 seconds. Turn off the heat and, using the rubber spatula, smooth over the top of the omelette so that it evenly covers the inside of the skillet. If using the cheese, sprinkle about 2 tablespoons over the omelette. Let rest for 30 seconds until the omelette has set.
  • Using the rubber spatula, fold the omelette in half, and transfer to a warmed plate. Cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 4 omelettes in all.

EGG WHITE OMELET



Egg White Omelet image

This egg white omelet is an easy and healthy way to kick-start your day.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 teaspoon butter or olive oil
4 large egg whites
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
Chopped herbs, such as parsley, chives, and chervil (optional)
Cooked spinach, chopped (optional)
Freshly grated cheese, such as Parmesan, ricotta salata, or manchego (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat butter or oil in a small nonstick skillet over low heat. Meanwhile, whisk together egg whites and salt, incorporating a lot of air, which will ensure that the omelet is light and fluffy. Be sure not to do this in advance or the egg whites will deflate.
  • Place your hand directly above the skillet. When your palm feels warm, the skillet is ready to start cooking. Working quickly, pour whisked eggs into the heated skillet. While shaking skillet back and forth over heat, stir with a heatproof rubber spatula for less than 1 minute. You want to keep eggs moving, incorporating any runny parts and some curds begin to form.
  • Continue cooking, making sure eggs cover the entire surface of the skillet and using a spatula to push together any holes that may have formed. Top with one or more desired fillings.
  • Run the spatula along right side of omelet to loosen eggs from skillet. Place spatula under right side of eggs, making sure that the spatula is well underneath the eggs to offer maximum support, and lift right side over left in one fluid motion. Folded omelet should look like a half-moon.
  • Lightly press down on omelet with the spatula to seal omelet together. Do not press hard; you do not want to flatten the curds. Check to make sure the handle of the skillet is still facing directly out toward you.
  • Lift up skillet with one hand, and hold a plate with your other hand. Tilt skillet, and let the curved edge of the omelet slide onto the plate.
