Cheese Omelet

Poll question: Cheese Omelet

I need a little help deciding.

1. Other

Maybe more a 'product' than a cheese, but I LOVE Boursin omelettes.

2. Too Late

I used the Comte. It was okay, didn't knock my socks off.

Gonna try the blue next time, with some apple bits.

Boursin, huh? You have to dollop that on?

[Stinky The Clown]

4. Yup ... dollop it on ......

Make your omelette a bit runny and add it late. It melts fast and can get a little watery. Letting it mix with the egg seems to make it less runny as the water sorta cooks into the egg.

8. Stinky, quit spending all that money and make it at home

Here's the recipe:

I love this cheese but not the price. Last time I checked it was 5 or 6 dollars for a small blob.



That way you can save more money for copper.

3. I just can't help it!

I'm gonna vote bleu just about every damn time. LOL Ijust can't seem to get enough of the stuff. Wish my husband felt the same way. Sigh. He will eat it occasionally but not as often as I would. It's just absolutely the best thing on a baked sweet potato. :9

14. The Blue Disappointed Me

:(

Haven't gotten around to the Basque yet.

5. I have to tell you I love a good Queso Oaxacan cheese

it is such a beautiful melt, a bit more tang than montery jack, and did I say it melts beautifully?

6. Monterey Jack and roasted anaheim chiles

It may not be snooty, but it's still my favorite omelet. Mmmmm.

7. Other: Sharp Cheddar

I'm a sharp cheddar fan myself... can't get enough of it! I'd also do Parmesan, Romano, Mozzarella or any combination. :)

[NashVegas]

9. I Used the Cheddar for a Grilled Cheese

Heavenly.

When you get into some of the better cheddars, "sharp" loses all meaning. All that stuff in the dairy case turns into flavored rubber no matter what it's called.

[Juneboarder]

11. I don't know... I'm so picky that it must be

Tillamook Sharp Cheddar. I can definitely tell the difference between my cheddars, but that might just be because I'm a cheddar fiend...

10. grasswire beat me to the punch...

...but Swiss or perhaps Emmenthaler (I'm told it's a bit creamier than Swiss) cheese...
with maybe a pinch of tarragon?

And mushrooms. Gotta have mushrooms. :9

[htuttle]

12. Sharp Provolone and Parmesan

Aged Swiss if those aren't around.

[kestrel91316]

13. Spinach, mushrooms, and a generous grating of parmesan.

[Warpy]

15. I used to do them with sauteed mushrooms

and whatever cheese was around, even cream cheese. Swiss and Gruyere were favorites. Herbs were a pinch of dried dill and a pinch of summer savory, a combination that heightened the cheese flavor.

[spindrifter]

16. Try using feta in your omelette! Yum!

[yellowdogintexas]

17. I like to use colbyjack or medium cheddar. The shredded Mexican casserole mix

makes excellent omelette.

18. Ya Know ...

A Comte / cheddar combo rocked the house.
