How To Make Lukes Omelet
Heres how I make my own version of Lukes omelet.
You’ll need:
While Eating Gilmore suggests putting the bacon into the omelet raw (bold move!
), I prefer to start by crisping it up.
That way, we get all that delicious bacon fat to fry our omelet in later.
Its maximum flavor with minimal waste.
Heres how to start: Take two slices of bacon and lay them in a large, cold skillet.
Dont preheat it; starting cold helps the bacon cook evenly.
Whisk until everythings blended.
Next, prep your fillings.
Chop the cooked bacon, dice a handful of tomato (2 tablespoons, but whos measuring?
), and grate a 1/2 cup of Swiss cheese.
Set them all within easy reach.
Turn your skillet down to low heat, and pour in the whisked eggs.
This is where the magic happens: Sprinkle the bacon, tomato, and cheese evenly across the eggs.
The cheese will start melting, and youll know youre on the right track.
Now, the trickiest part: folding the omelet.
Using a spatula, gently fold it in half, like youre tucking the ingredients in for a nap.
Slide the omelet onto a plate, and admire your masterpiece!
One bite, and youll feel like youre sitting in Lukes Diner, dishing with the girls.
