Sizzling Ham And Gruyère Omelet Recipes

HAM AND SWISS OMELET

Steps:

• In a small nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Whisk the eggs, water, salt and pepper. Add egg mixture to skillet (mixture should set immediately at edges)., As eggs set, push cooked edges toward the center, letting uncooked portion flow underneath. When the eggs are set, place ham on one side and sprinkle with cheese; fold other side over filling. Slide omelet onto a plate.

HERBED GRUYèRE OMELETS

Steps:

• Whisk 3 eggs, 1 teaspoon chives, 1 teaspoon tarragon and 1 teaspoon parsley in bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Preheat broiler. Melt 1 teaspoon butter in 8- to 9-inch-diameter nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour egg mixture into skillet. Stir until eggs begin to set, lifting edge of omelet with spatula and tilting skillet to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath. Cook until omelet is softly set, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle packed 1/3 cup cheese down center of omelet. Roll up omelet; place in broilerproof baking dish large enough to hold 2 omelets. Repeat with remaining eggs, herbs, butter and 1/3 cup cheese to form second omelet. Sprinkle remaining 1/3 cup cheese over omelets.
• Broil omelets until cheese is bubbling and slightly brown, about 2 minutes.

SIZZLING HAM AND GRUYèRE OMELET

Steps:

• Using a whisk or a fork, beat the eggs in a small bowl until frothy.
• Heat the butter in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the ham and sauté for 1 minute, or until crisp.
• Pour the eggs into the pan, tilting the pan gently to evenly distribute the eggs over the ham. Let the eggs cook and set for about 5 seconds.
• Using a silicone or rubber spatula, gently pull the cooked egg from the edges toward the center of the pan, while allowing the liquid egg to run underneath and onto the hot pan. After about 20 seconds, or when the eggs look cooked but are still moist, sprinkle the omelet with the Gruyère cheese.
• Using the spatula, fold the omelet in half. Cook the omelet for another 30 seconds, or until the cheese is melted. Tip the pan over a serving plate so that the omelet slides onto the plate bottom side up.
