Not Just for Breakfast

Credit: Photo: Randy Mayor
View Recipe: Classic French Omelet

Originating in France, omelets can be easily adapted to suit any taste—fill with seasonal vegetables, meats, or a variety of cheeses. Here, our favorite omelet recipes offer an array of flavors and tastes for a meal (anytime of day) that everyone will love.

First up is our Classic French Omelet, the perfect way to start off any morning. The trick to a perfect French omelet is to pull the pan off the heat as needed, while stirring, to control how fast the eggs cook. The finished omelet should be golden outside and unbrowned, while still creamy at the very center.

View Recipe: Wild Mushroom Omelet

Use a mix of seasonal varieties or your favorite mushrooms to fill this classic French-style omelet. If your pan becomes too hot and the eggs begin to set too quickly, simply lift the pan off the heat to slow the cooking as you stir. Garnish with fresh flat-leaf parsley sprigs for a pretty presentation, and serve with fresh fruit.
