mmm, so good! ngc

[azguzzirep]

On Sunday, I made an omelet. A Denver omelet, with mushrooms, bell pepper, tomato, onion and cheese. Oh, it was sooo good.

Most Sundays, I make us French Toast. But I needed an omelet. A Denver omelet.

In Germany, and most of Europe, breakfast is lunch meats, cheese, bread and maybe some fruit. Interesting as a visitor, discouraging as a resident.

I need to intoduce my wife to biscuits n' gravy soon!

Omelet - you bet - any meal of the day!

But I'm finding it hard to find a decent omelet pan. Must be nonstick, adequately sized for a two person omelet, and have shallow sloping sides.  Seems all manufacturers of late have lost sight of the importance of that last feature.

Had a great pan but Teresa has taken her toll on the nonstick by using metal utensils. Mars/Venus again.

[John A]

Mars&Venus, not only metal utensils mine doesn't understand the concept of seasoning a pan. Washes the living snot out of them. I should take all the scothbrite out to the shop and wash out some tractor axel hubs.....

No-stick cookware is banned at our house. Properly seasoned cast iron is healthier. I do my own laundry without those stink a$$ drier sheets the wife uses.

A two-egg omelet with mushrooms, green/red peppers, onion, ham or bacon, and the cheese-of-the-day is our standard breakfast these days.   

We pay $50 or so apiece for either "Calfalon" or "T-Fal" omelet pans, which have exactly the right "shallow sloping side" configuration you mention, and are "non-stick".

HOWEVER, the "non-stick" coating (I don't know if it's still Teflon or not these days) lasts about 6 months and then starts degrading and chipping off, although we never touch it with a metal utensil.

I do know that the omelet-making dude at the fancy Sunday-brunch place in the next town over does not use a non-stick pan to make his 70 omelets a day.   He uses a plain steel (not black iron, shiny steel) pan which he seasons at the start of the day with steel wool and hot oil, and when used over the right heat, doesn't stick once until it cools off.    I wish I could learn how to do that.

Meanwhile, we just buy new non-stick pans when needed ....

Put table salt in your non Teflon shiny silver skillet and rub it in with a paper towel before making your omlet. I like to add a little half and hAlf and a dash of flour for added fluffiness.

THAT's how you got so fluffy?

[Guzzistajohn]

Yes Curt we have all gotten fluffier over the years except Alice

[charlie b]

You guys have all forgotten the most important ingredient....green chile  :D

And, yes, I find that if you get a GOOD stainless steel pan it works just fine, seasoned and oiled.  I think olive oil works best but YMMV.  It took many years to get the wife to keep them seasoned but she's an expert at it now.

[Lannis]

You New Mexico guys put green chiles in coconut custard pies, chocolate truffles, and baby formula .....  I like green and red chiles but they DO have their place .... !

True, I just wondered when you went to half and half and flour?

Are you of polynesian ancestry?
 Around here that would be an internet breakast, very popular.

 Nope , I understand that there are hundreds of recipes in Hawaii using spam . Funny how a military ration in a can has become a delicacy on the islands  :D

Omelettes are great. But if you want to really perk up breakfast in Germany, cook some Kentucky hot browns. Damn they are good.

[Guzzistajohn]

How about a hunk of Pennsylvania scrapple on the side?

[charlie b]

You New Mexico guys put green chiles in coconut custard pies, chocolate truffles, and baby formula .....  I like green and red chiles but they DO have their place .... !

Lannis

Yep, they do have their place....in everything except deserts  ;)

And, yes, sometimes I have a meal without any green chiles  :)

SPAM was made for the Brits during the Blitz.  The folks at Armour were trying to process as much pork as they could to feed them.  One of the production folks came up with the idea of taking all the cut offs and compressing into a can.  SPAM, Specially Processed American Meat (IIRC).

[redrider]

Any one want some Dragon Chilis? I was able to winter over my one producer and now have new blooms and fresh hotties. Not many but the seeds sprout and these babies are wow. Great with ice cream. ;D

[Penderic]

I have always been on a 'word' diet. If I cant pronounce it, I wont order it!  :P

 I have never heard that story before but I know it was introduced to polynesia by the military in WW2 and has been a favorite ever since.

 BTW, I buy it by the case.

My way of doing that is to put it all in an empty 4 lb peanut butter jar, add a splash of milk, put the lid on tight
  and shake it like a paint shaker.  The milk and shaking makes it rise up fluffy.

[oldbike54]

 OK John you want a recipe .

1. 6 OZ vine ripened beefsteak tomato sauteed in olive oil and a garlic clove  
2. 4 OZ grated extra sharp N,Y. cheddar cheese

5 Season lightly with some lemon pepper
