Favorite omlette fillings?

[Lucinda]

I thought it might be fun to collect our favorites in one thread....

My current favorite is an ASIAGO DILL Omlette. I add fresh or dried dillweed to the egg base, a tiny bit of cream when I have some on hand, and then use shredded asiago cheese in the filling. The combination of the dill and the sharp flavor of the cheese is wonderful.

It can, of course, be augmented with finely sliced ham, or sauteed veggies. Mushrooms work very well.

What are you favs?

1. I love parmesan and parsley

Smoked salmon is good, too.

(This is one of the only ways I like dried parsley, is in eggs. Otherwise, dried and fresh are like two different herbs, and when I don't have fresh parsley for a recipe, it's like I have no parsley.)

[Lucinda]

2. I'll have to give that a try! I've really been experiementing with parmesan

lately but hadn't tried it with eggs, and I never think to add dried parsley to anything. I always have it around, but never use it!

3. my basic go to is cheddar in the omelet with salsa and sourcream on top as garnish

but i'm VERY flexible lol

[Lucinda]

4. Yum! I use hot sauce on sharp cheddar omlettes if I am out of salsa.

Can't wait until this years cilantro crop is up and ready. Salsa is a food group in my book!

5. asparagus and gruyere

steamed asparagus cut into 1 inch lengths and grated gruyere. simple and delicious dinner dish.

15. I don't think i''ve ever had asparagus with cheese...How weird is that!

I love both so much!

6. mushroooms, onions and shredded cheddar.

Saute veggies in another small skillet first. Place on omelet and sprinkle with some shredded cheese. Fold and put a little salsa on as garnish.

[Lucinda]

16. That sounds great!

I love salsa / hot sauce with eggs.
I don't buy mushrooms often, since I'm the only one here who eats them. I think its about time!

7. We have our standard that we make.

Saute onions and baby bellas, and sometimes spinach, in butter with a little granulated garlic. Pour the egg over the vegetables. When the eggs are about set add feta and sharp cheddar. When melted a little, fold and allow to melt a few more minutes. Is great with either apricot or strawberry jam on toast. :9

[Lucinda]

17. That sounds wonderful! Spinach and feta are two of my favorite things.

I make a "Greek" pizza with onions and mushrooms, fresh spinach, black olives, and feta. Don't think I've ever use it with eggs before!

8. ham, tomato, mushroom, onion,

and just about any kind of cheese.

As soon as I try some spinach variations that grasswire (?) suggested, I might have to change this.

[Lucinda]

18. Spinach would be a great addition.

For the longest time I preferred tomatoes straight up with a little salt. Or as juice. I was never a big red sauce person and didn't explore any cooked options until we started growing heirloom tomatoes. I started slicing green zebras paper thin for our homemade pizza and fell in love with the flavor that heating brings.

9. anaheim chilis and jack cheese

mmmmmmmmm.......

But I also love just salsa and cheddar. Or spinach and feta and walnuts. Anything! My idea of a perfect dinner is an omelette and a salad.

And did you know that a cream cheese and strawberry jam omelette is truly delicious?

[Lucinda]

19. Walnuts sound great with the spinch and feta!

I couldn't eat nuts for years and am finally starting adding a few back in to my diet. I'll have to give that a try!

10. Apples

Seriously. Fry apple slices in butter, then add a wee bit of brown sugar and brandy. Great omelette filling.

[Lucinda]

20. Now that's unusual!

I love fried apples. And eggs.
May give this one a try soon!

11. Cheese with dill and summer savory was my basic go-to filling

but I also loved mushrooms with nutmeg.

[Lucinda]

21. I dont think i've ever cooked with savory! - unless its been in a seassoning blend...

I can't even rememer tasing it.
Wiki says its sage-like in flavor... Is that your experience?

[catnhatnh]

12. I like strong flavors....

...make mine extra-sharp cheddar with smoked ham, genoa salami, and a sprinkling of crumbled blue cheese....

[Lucinda]

22. That sounds great. And made me hungry.

I like the idea of bc and sharp cheddar mixed too...interesting!

[livetohike]

13. Brie and diced tomatoes

is my current favorite. I like sauteed mushrooms and onions with extra sharp cheddar, or slices of canned chile peppers with cheddar and a little picante sauce, too.

[Lucinda]

23. I alternate between the asiago/dill and a southwestern style most often.

Mushroom and onion with cheddar sounds good too!

[The empressof all]

14. Caviar, sour cream, "good" tomatoes and green onions

Obviously not an every day plate of eggs but as an occasional indulgence it can't be beat.

[Lucinda]

24. I've been craving green onions lately. Adding them to eggs sounds great!
