The other day DH and I went out for breakfast/lunch. This was at a
restaurant we both really like and where we've always gotten a good
meal. This time I ordered an omelet with tomato, onion & mushrooms. It
was the first omelet I ever remember being served that the ingredients
were raw. I love raw onions and mushrooms in a salad, but not in an omelet.

My DH thought I was being unreasonable, but I never expected an omelet's
ingredients to be raw. When I make omelets at home I always saute the
onions and mushrooms.

Does anyone here eat/serve omelets with uncooked ingredients?

no, but that is what I have seen served in restaurant omelets. I don't eat
restaurant omelets - too overcooked and leathery, with rare exceptions which
I am not about to try to find by suffering through a long series of bad
omelets.

My mushrooms would be cooked. I use green onions, so they would be
raw. I guess now you know, so you can tell them to cook the veggies
next time. Forewarned is forearmed.

I saute onions, mushrooms, etc. first. I do add tomatoes at the end because
I like them being "close" to uncooked in an omelet.

I always cook mushrooms and peppers, but have used raw tomato. I'm not
good at flipping the suckers, so I've thrown in the towel. No more
omelets, only scrambles.

Except for the tomato, the rest should have been sautéed imo. I sauté,or steam sometimes, all that you mentioned, plus spinach, broccoli, carrots, or whatever I may have leftover from dinner.

Nellie

Vegetables should be at least blanched or preferably sautéed with salt and pepper. Most people don't know how to cook omelets. The biggest hoot was years ago when they had a pan divided into two sections on a hinge so that you could flip the omelet handily. Ah well, when all else fails, look at the cookbook. The eggs in an omelet must be stirred in the pan, just like scrambled eggs, so that they cook evenly, rather than have them get overdone and leathery on the bottom. They sit temporarily when you add the ingredients, and then flip in half and serve. With a sharp cheese and some minced Bermuda onions (in this case, since it's such a small amount that they don't have to be blanched)- delicious!!!!

the only thing I cook for omelets is bacon. However, I don't make
omelets with something like broccoli.

I actually like raw tomatoes and onions when I make an omelet for myself at
home, but I don't think I've ever gotten them that way at a restaurant.

Although I no longer eat eggs, one of the best omelets I ever had, did have
raw stuff in it and that was why I liked it. The restaurant that made it is
no longer there. It was the Seahorse in Mukilteo. They were a fancy
seafood place and we took my aunt and uncle there for brunch. I remember
them having prime rib and all sorts of pastries. I don't eat any of that
stuff so I opted for an omelet that was made to order.

I remember being astounded at how it was cooked. The eggs were spread out
very thin in a special pan, cooked quickly, flipped over, then the
ingredients I had called out were put on top of the cooked eggs, it was
quickly rolled up and put on my plate.

I know that I wouldn't have asked for mushrooms as I don't care for them.
Most likely I had tomatoes, onions, peppers and cheese. I do remember the
cheese just barely being melted and the rest was raw.

Pretty much the same here but I don't like raw onions other than scallions.
I can't imagine not cooking the mushrooms.

I had an omelet at a Village Inn, and the onions and green peppers were raw....also, at an IHOP. I suppose in
these cases, it depends on the franchisee. I also always sauté them first.

This is interesting. I've always made my omlets with raw
vegetables...tomatoes, onion, green pepper and mushroom if I have
them. And some cheese. I've never thought to sautee them first but
I'll try that the next time.

Well that's what I've done but once you add the veggies to the eggs,
they won't cook much. I'll try cooking them first then add to the
eggs. I might do this today too since an omlet sounds pretty good
right now for later.

You're right. You need to have them cooked the way you want them
before you add them to the omelet. The only thing the heat of your
omelet will do is melt the cheese and finish cooking the eggs.

I always leave red peppers raw. If I want them in a cooked dish, I add them
last just before serving. For me, cooking spoils them.

I used to be when I was young and that set up bad eating habits.
Nowadays, I have to work hard to get rid of those extra calories.
Luckily, my job is in the construction trades so I do get lots of
exercise when I'm working.

Normally I would have, but we had taken my SIL who was visiting for a
long weekend. I knew my husband would be embarrassed if I did send it
back so I just kept my mouth shut. My DH is one of those that never
wants to complain or "make a fuss." I, OTOH have no problem with an

Hahaha! I have a bad reputation with my immediate family about
sending things back. They beg me not to order Eggs Benedict because
they know I'll send it back if the eggs are not cooked the way I
ordered them and I'll do it more than once if necessary.

That's a good story and it's true...keep the customer happy and they
will return and tell their friends. Word of mouth advertising is
either the best or the worse advertising. It all depends on satisfied
customers or not.

That's more myth than fact.

Maybe, but I am not willing to take that chance!

Absolutely! It happened to me just a few months ago. I wanted my
eggs cooked one way and they came out another - twice. I told the
server, that I would just eat it - but when the bill came, I wasn't
charged for my meal and the manager came over to apologize in person.
That's a class act.

It certainly is! We were once in a restaurant and D. was unhappy about
something. He ate it but mentioned it and he was not charged.

And under most circumstances I'm not willing to pay for food that's not
what I ordered, or is not prepared properly. Generally, eating out is
an occasional treat and sure don't want to throw away money on crappy food.

If the food was so bad, I would leave, give them my details and tell them to
sue me. If it was not exactly as I wanted it and I had to send it back
multiple times ... not a chance I would be willing to take.

Whether or not I would walk out would depend on who was with me and how
their food was. I certainly wouldn't walk out if my dinner partners
were enjoying their food. If we all got bad food then yes, I'd walk out
with my friends.

I got started eating Omelets at the Waffle House. Sort of a southern
US Restaurant lining Interstate highways. Anyhow, they spin the eggs
in a blender just before cooking which really fluffs them up. Now I
have to have my Omelet with the eggs puffed up like this and of course
the Onions should be carmelized before adding to the Omelet with
shredded cheese and cooked bacon. Umm...so good!

Coincidentally, we went out for breakfast this morning and I ordered
my usual ... garden mix and bacon. So good. I finally got to
refresh my memory if the vegetables were sauteed first and yes, they
were. I wouldn't like them raw, especially, but it wouldn't be a
deal breaker. The peppers still had a bit of crunch to them, not all
cooked down.

And the bacon pieces were perfectly done, which is the most
important thing. Heh.

Please would you share what the 'garden mix' consists of? All that sounds
wonderful, oh btw I love to have my peppers crunchy and don't usually add
them until right at the end

Exactly how I like them! This particular place has
onion/green pepper/celery in their garden mix. To be honest,
I don't particularly notice the celery, so it must be
cooked longer or diced pretty small. The onions still
hold their shape, too, not cooked to death.

Onions ... sliced and fried? I don't like celery anyway)
