Do your homemade omelets lack the pizazz you find at your favorite restaurant? If so, it's time to rethink how you prepare this breakfast favorite. By changing the ingredients you add, you can easily turn your omelets into a gourmet meal.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Add fresh herbs to your eggs. The herbs will ensure that your eggs are just as flavorful as the ingredients you put inside your gourmet omelet.

  2. Step 2

    Put your eggs in the blender. Taking the time to blend your eggs will ensure that your omelets are nice and fluffy. This will give you a texture that is similar to what you might find in your favorite restaurant.

  3. Step 3

    Choose a gourmet cheese. While American and cheddar cheeses may be tasty, goat cheese makes your omelet truly gourmet.

  4. Step 4

    Pick different types of meat. Many people use ham or bacon, but andouille sausage or even salmon would add a more gourmet flavor.

  5. Step 5

    Rethink the vegetables you add. Green peppers and onions can get old after a while. If you want a gourmet omelet, you should consider adding shitake mushrooms or heirloom tomatoes.

Tips & Warnings
  • Blue cheese is another wonderful alternative to American and cheddar cheeses.
  • Purchasing farm eggs will ensure more flavor.
  • If you don't cook your vegetables before adding them to your omelet, you will overcook your eggs.
