Had this for breakfast this morning.  It was sumptuous.  Sorry I can't give credit to where I found it, but I didn't note it on the recipe.

Parmalet (Crisp Parmesan Omelet)

Ingredients

2 eggs

1/4 tsp. water

1 tsp. olive oil

1 oz. freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, or a little less

kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Cayenne pepper (optional and to taste)

Directions

1. Crack eggs into a mixing bowl. Add 1/4 teaspoon water. Whisk together until just beaten (do not overmix).
2. Drizzle olive oil into 8-inch nonstick skillet. Brush evenly over the bottom of the pan. Evenly spread grated cheese into the skillet.
3. Place pan over medium-high heat. Cheese will slowly start to melt. When cheese starts to bubble and turn golden brown, about 4 minutes, pour eggs evenly over cheese. Reduce heat to low. Sprinkle with salt and pepper (and cayenne).
4. Cover and let eggs cook on low until they are set, checking after the first 30 seconds. For 2 eggs, this should take about 1 minute, total cooking time.
5. Remove pan from heat. Carefully use a spatula to fold "parmalet" in half.
6. Transfer to serving plate.

That sounds amazing.Does the cheese stay crispy?

[wismiss]

Yes, Whatnow, it does stay crispy.  I kept the parmalet in the pan until the cheese was very brown and the eggs were done.  This will probably be the way I make an omelet now, as I have to control my diet.  It was very good.
