I rarely make an omelet any more. Probably the perception of eggs being unhealthy with the high cholesterol. Back when I was a young man though, omelets were somewhat exotic. In our home kitchen my Mother never made omelets. Eggs were scrambled or fried. If fried, they were over-easy or rarely sunny-side-up. The food was pretty simple, but done well and always consistent. So, when I discovered omelets out in the big world, I thought they were very special. I learned to make a few varieties and went through a phase where I felt I was great at making omelets. Much like the phase many of us go through when we think we're great lovers, it was short lived.
For Thanksgiving we brought a Caesar salad as part of the meal and we got it from our local grocery. The salad came with many sides. We had much of these left over and I thought I'd make an omelet before they were all thrown out. I used bacon, chicken, onions, banana peppers, ripe olives and cheese(not part of salad). I think that was it. It was a nice omelet. I also like tomato, bell pepper and mushrooms.
A nice omelet to me these days is comfort food. One of my favorite Diner meals is an omelet. Served with hash-browns and toast, you've got a large meal. Good luck with your omelet preparations and Merry Christmas.
