Additional Tips
Omelet Au Gratin
If you want to make this omelet more festive or you wish to revive any leftover omelet, pour over 1/2 to 3/4 cup light cream or white sauce, sprinkle 2 Tbs grated cheese, top with 1/4 cup fine dry breadcrumbs mixed with 1 Tbs butter; bake in a moderate oven for 15 minutes or until the crumbs turn golden brown. Skip the breadcrumbs if you wish, just cream and grated cheese are great.
