Hubbys Fav Omelet

Submitted by Lady in love

"This is a wonderful fluffy Omelet. You can add a variety of fillings. My husbands favorite is simply cheddar cheese and green scallions. When I have company, I put out bowls of different fillings like diced bell peppers, mushrooms, red onion, etc.and I let them choose there own. Great way for kids to feel included and also get their veggies! (5 Lg Eggs makes two large portions, or three medium portions) Have fun and enjoy!"

Really good flavor, I like the idea of using buttermilk and the paking powder did the job in making it rise. The only warning I would give on this recipe is that it assumes the cook knows their way around an omelet. "Flip and serve" is a lot easier said than done if you are inexperienced!

Three, 5-Star votes across the board! Absolutely delicious omelette and I'm not even an omelette fan. I picked this recipe because my boys had come back from Mexico raving about the omelettes they had there, so I thought, nice easy weeknight dinner or weekend brunch. Wasn't feeling the best today so weeknight dinner it was. So easy to make and it was a huge hit. I didn't have buttermilk so used two tbsp milk and 1 tbsp my own yogurt, used extra large free range eggs fresh from the farm so it made lots. I didn't have cheddar so used mozza to mix in and on top the boys and added ricotta to mine. I fried up some bacon pieces and cut up some veggies for everyone to pick what they liked. Also had some chicken filling leftover from kreplach the other night. Definitely a keeper for an easy meal anytime of the day. Ds10 even asked for more and his was huge! LOL Thanks Lady in love :) for a delicious meal! Made and thoroughly enjoyed for PAC Spring 2011. :D
