Different Kinds Of Omelet Filling Ideas

Cheese - pepper jack and cheddar cheese.

Denver - ham, onion, green pepper & cheddar cheese

Bacon, grilled asparagus, little bit of tomato and your favorite cheese

Cheese steak...a chopped up Steak-um, sauteed onions, some mozzarella cheese and a little tomato sauce on the side. Add sauteed green peppers for a Philadelphia cheese steak omelet.

Italian sausage and sauteed green peppers and onions.

Feta cheese and kalamata olives

Turkey and dressing with gravy on top - cranberries on the side.

Spinach, feta and a bit of mozzarella cheese.

Take eggs, add a touch of cream, cinnamon, and sugar. Then for the filling use berries mixed with a "sauce" made of pureed berries (in the blender) sugar and lemon juice. Then add dollops of sweetened sour cream on top or whipped cream.

Stir extra-sharp cheddar into the eggs and then fill the omelet with a little smoky chipotle pepper salsa.

Also: beat softened cream cheese into the eggs, saute a little onion in butter, add the cream cheese and egg mixture & cook and then fill with cheddar cheese.
