Still, my all-time favorite egg dish has to be the omelet. Ready in seconds, an omelet can be made with almost anything—chances are you have a perfect combination of fillings in your fridge right now. They work for any meal of the day and taste great—I love the balance of fluffy, golden eggs with the mild crunch of still-firm hot vegetables.
Cooking an omelet couldn’t be easier. Basically you whisk some eggs together, cook them in a nonstick pan with a little oil, add the filling of your choice and then fold it and serve. That said, there is some finesse involved in making a perfect omelet. Get step-by-step instructions on making an omelet here.
It’s hard to go wrong with omelet fillings. I’ve filled omelets with everything from gourmet prosciutto and capers to leftover red beans and rice. Both were delicious!
