Canadian Bacon Cheese Omelet Recipes

CHIVE OMELETTE WITH GRUYERE AND CANADIAN BACON

Steps:

• Heat olive oil over medium heat.
• Add the Canadian bacon and cook until lightly browned.
• Remove and set aside.
• In a bowl, whisk the eggs with the water and chives, along with a couple pinches of salt and some pepper.
• Melt the butter in an 8 inch skillet over med-high heat.
• When it has stopped foaming swirl the butter to coat the bottom of the pan and pour in the egg mixture.
• Using the back of a fork and keeping it flat on the bottom of the pan, lightly scramble the eggs, using small circular motions.
• As the mixture firms, hold some eggs back from the side of the pan and tilt the pan to spread the eggs over the bottom.
• Scatter the Gruyere over the omelette, leaving a margin around the edges.
• Add the Canadian Bacon.
• Using a spatula, lift 1/3 of the omelette and fold it over the center.
• Tilt the pan toward the plate so that 1/3 of the omelette hangs over the edge.
• Invert the pan, using the spatula for support, so that it flips neatly over itself out of the pan.
• To Serve, garnish with more chopped chives if desired and serve immediately with some sliced tomatoes.

CANADIAN BACON AND POTATO OMELET

Steps:

• Whisk together eggs, egg whites, canadian bacon, cilantro, salt and pepper. Set aside.
• In non-stick skillet, add oil and saute onion for 1 minute then add potatoes and cook over medium heat until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove potatoes to a plate and set aside.
• Melt butter in the skillet and pour in egg mixture. The eggs should begin to set around the edges almost immediately. Lift edges and tilt skillet to allow uncooked egg to roll under cooked eggs. Continue until eggs are set.
• Sprinkle eggs with cheese and add potatoes to top of omelet then fold eggs over to enclose cheese and potatoes. Remove to a plate.
• At this point, I cut the omelet in half and place on two plates. I sprinkle a bit more cheese over top of omelet, add a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of pico de gallo.
• NOTE: I recently read a tip to cut the heat in jalapinos without sacrificing the flavor -- After seeding the peppers place in abowl of hot tap water for 10-20 minutes to soak out pepper oils which hold the heat of the peppers.
