A Nice Omelet

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.
