Day 2: Paul’s Chili Cheese Omelet!

Another favorite of mine! And the chili is my homemade chili!

1) Crack 2 eggs into a bowl, pour in a couple capfuls of half and half, and then season to your liking with salt and pepper.

2) Whip it! Whip it good! Did you sing that song in your head again? I bet you considered pulling it up on YouTube to listen to it! I was thinking about it…

3) Drizzle olive oil into your favorite non-stick pan and toss in a handful of diced onion. Like our pan? It's our favorite for many things and is the perfect size for omelets! Made in the USA! Get yours here:

4) Sauté them for a few minutes until you see some pieces start to brown (unless you like them a little more crunchy).

5) Pour in your egg mixture, circling around the outside of the omelet while moving toward the middle. This keeps the omelet well rounded (pun intended) with the other ingredients, because when you pour this way, your inner mixture doesn’t get pushed to the edges of the pan. I love the copy and paste feature! This step is exactly the same for all five omelets!

6) Add cheddar cheese right away so it melts while the bottom of the omelet is cooking. And remember, the cheese is your glue so be generous and spread it well!

7) Now watch for the edges of the omelet to start “bulking up.” This only takes just a few minutes so don’t walk away!

8) Now you‘re ready to flip it! I like the double pan method! Place a slightly bigger, non-stick pan over the one you’re cooking in, and make sure you flip it fast! If you made the first omelet you have one flip under your Belt! Ready, set, flip!

9) How did it go this time? Hopefully better than the first! Now I’m singing ”life’s a dance you learn as you go.” Like on your first omelet, remember the seeping/flare from the edges, that you go around the edge with a spatula pushing it back into the omelet.

10) Is your mouth watering yet? I cheated and munched on cheese while cooking, lol! Ok, so after a couple minutes, you can slide this baby right on to your plate! You can eat it just like it is but I’m not at all ashamed to say that sometimes I put on sour cream or even just plain table cream! Just don’t forget the chili! After all, it is a chili cheese omelet!

ENJOY!
