Bacon Mushroom Omelets Recipes

MUSHROOM, TOMATO AND ONION OMELET WITH HOME FRIES AND BACON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the bacon on a baking sheet and bake to the desired crispness, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, quarter the potatoes and place them and the garlic in a medium pot with cold water to cover; add salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat and simmer until potatoes are fully cooked and soft, about 15 minutes. Drain well.
• While potatoes are cooking, start on the omelet filling: Cut the onion into small dice; you'll need 1/2 cup. Remove and discard the stems from the mushrooms, then thinly slice the caps. Seed the tomatoes and cut into small dice.
• In a skillet over medium heat, sweat half of the onions, seasoned with salt, in some olive oil until translucent and soft, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms, season with salt, and continue cooking until slightly soft, another 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes; cook for 3 to 4 more minutes. Add salt to taste.
• Whisk the eggs together with 2 tablespoons water and 1/2 teaspoon salt until fluffy. Set aside.
• Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat; add olive oil to coat the pan. Add the remaining 1/4 cup diced onions and cook for 2 minutes. Add the potatoes; cook until golden brown and crispy, about 6 minutes.
• Place a nonstick skillet over medium heat; add olive oil to coat. Add the egg mixture and cook until set, frequently moving the edges away from the pan with a rubber spatula. Sprinkle with a layer of shredded fontina, add the filling to the middle, and fold the omelet. Cook until the cheese has melted, another minute or two.
• Arrange all--bacon, home fries and omelet--on a serving platter, sprinkle with fresh chives, and serve with pumpernickel toast on the side.

MUSHROOM OMELET WITH BACON AND ONION HASH

Steps:

• Add olive oil to lightly coat a medium saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and swirl to release the aroma. Add the mushrooms and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until brown. Remove from the pan and set aside.
• Add the beaten egg mixture (be sure that the mixture is smooth¿no hunks of egg white). Tilt the pan to allow the uncooked egg mixture to run to the sides of the pan to create a wide, flat "scrambled egg." Swirl the pan around occasionally to loosen the eggs from the bottom of the pan.
• When the eggs are three-quarters of the way cooked through, sprinkle the middle third of the omelet with the mushrooms and goat cheese. Turn off the heat and sprinkle with the chives.
• Using the spatula, fold the left third of the omelet over the filling. Press gently to secure.
• Gently shake the pan to be sure that the omelet is loosened from the pan. Gently slide the right third of the omelet out onto a serving plate and flip the other two-thirds of the omelet on top. (The omelet should be folded like a letter.)
• Serve the omelet with the Potato Hash. Garnish with chives.
• Plunge the potatoes into boiling water, then immediately drain and place them in a bowl of ice water.
• To a medium cast-iron skillet, add the bacon. Turn the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon has rendered. Add the onion and cook over low heat, partially covered, until translucent. Add the potatoes and cook until browned and slightly crisp.

CHEESE, MUSHROOM AND BACON OVEN-BAKED OMELET

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees (set oven rack to second-lowest position).
• Butter an 8-inch square baking dish.
• Melt butter in a skillet; add in mushroom slices and cook over medium heat until mushrooms are tender (about 6-8 minutes, adding in the chopped green onions the last 2 minutes of cooking) set aside.
• In a bowl whisk together milk with eggs, flour, salt and black pepper until frothy, then stir in 1 cup grated cheddar cheese, cooked bacon and mushrooms/onion mixture.
• Pour into buttered baking dish, then sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese (if using).
• Bake uncovered for about 20 minutes or until the eggs are set in the center.
• Remove sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup cheddar cheese and return to oven for another couple of minutes until cheese is melted.

BACON, MUSHROOM, AND CHEESE OMELET

Steps:

• Crack the eggs into a bowl, add the milk, and beat them well. Melt the butter in a 7-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the eggs and scramble slightly. Allow the eggs to coat the pan and cook evenly. Crumble the bacon into the eggs, add the mushrooms and cheese, and cook for 1 minute. Carefully slide 1 end of the omelet onto a plate while folding the other end over on top, like a taco. Garnish with scallions and serve immediately.
