Breakfast Omelettes

These are basic omelettes with a variety of toppings. You could use the toppings listed below one at a time or combine them for variety.

Method

Omelettes
Break the eggs into a small bowl, add the cream or milk and salt and pepper to taste, and beat until frothy.

Melt the lard or butter into a frying pan and pour in the egg mixture. Cook over a moderate heat until it becomes firm.

When the omelette starts to set, spread the topping onto it and continue cooking until the omelette is set. Fold in half and serve.

Toppings.
The cooked ham should be cut small before adding and the Cheddar cheese grated before adding. You can also grate Cheddar cheese and mix it into the beaten eggs rather than using it as a topping. If cream cheese is used, spread on when the eggs have cooked firm and allow to melt. The bacon should be cut into small pieces and fried first, the omelette mixture being poured over it.
