Currently enjoying my part of a three-egg omelet, stuffed with mushrooms, bacon, Swiss cheese and just a little pickled cauliflower.
The batter was propped up by four crushed crackers,* parsley, a little togarishi and a generous teaspoon of some wonderful Italian spice blend put together by one of Tam's friends; mix all that up and add enough warm water to make a fairly thick slurry, then let it stand for a bit before beating in the eggs. (I crushed the crackers and added the spices while frying bacon, then added water and let it sit while I fried mushrooms in the bacon fat.) The eggs need a serious beating -- the idea is to get them in the mood for building new bonds.
This results in a fairly substantial basic omelette, all the better to hold up to a heavy payload of two and a half strips of bacon,† a slice of Swiss cheese and (the times being what they are) most of a small can of mushrooms.
Tam enjoyed her portion -- and the usual tribute -- while watching the Sunday morning political shows. They are -- as usual these days -- as entertaining as an H. P. Lovecraft (or Lovecraft-adjacent) story, and for similar reasons.

* Three Townhouse and one Ritz, if you're keeping track. Use what you have -- saltines are traditional; I like crushed corn chips but not everyone in this household does.
† When one fries bacon around Tamara, the Tamgeld is one half strip of it. Always.

Pretty cool this weekend, great stay-inside weather. I enjoy crushed corn chips in chili and sandwich filling (but watch dem crumbs !).
Your omelette recipe sounds wonderful.
