This is my go-to favorite! Basic but tasty!
1) Crack 2 eggs into a bowl, pour in a couple capfuls of half and half, and then season to your liking with salt and pepper.
2) Whip it! Whip it good! Did you sing that song in your head? I bet you did! I did…guilty as charged!
3) Drizzle olive oil into your favorite non-stick pan and toss in a handful of diced onion, 2 chopped sausage links and 7 potato puffs (tater tots). Like our pan? It's our favorite for many things and is the perfect size for omelets! Made in the USA! Get yours here:
4) Sauté them for a few minutes, breaking down the potato puffs as you stir. I love the little crunch they add to the omelet!
5) Pour in your egg mixture, circling around the outside of the omelet while moving toward the middle. This keeps the omelet well rounded (pun intended) with the other ingredients, because when you pour this way, your inner mixture doesn’t get pushed to the edges of the pan.
6) Add cheddar cheese right away so it melts while the bottom of the omelet is cooking. And remember, the cheese is your glue so be generous and spread it well!
7) Now watch for the edges of the omelet to start “bulking up.” This only takes just a few minutes so don’t walk away!
8) Now you‘re ready to flip it! I like the double pan method! Place a slightly bigger, non-stick pan over the one you’re cooking in, and make sure you flip it fast! Ready, set, go!
9) How did you do? Hopefully it stayed in the pan and is still in one piece for you, lol! I like to char my onions a bit for a deeper taste so my omelet may look more cooked than yours. It all depends on each person’s taste.
10) You can see that after you flip it, you will get some seeping from the edges (I call this flare). As the other side cooks, you can go around the edge with a spatula and push it in.
11) We’re on the home stretch! After a couple minutes, you can slide this baby right on to your plate! I eat it just like it is but feel welcome to drizzle even more cheese on top of this bad boy!
NOW ENJOY!
