Recipe - Cheese Omelettes Tavern Style

6 lg Eggs
1/3 cup Beer
One half teaspoon Tabasco® sauce
3 tablespoon Butter or margarine
3 tablespoon Grated Parmesan cheese

In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, beer and Tabasco sauce with a whisk
only until blended, not frothy. In an 81/2" omelette pan over medium heat,
melt 1 tablespoon of the butter. The pan is hot enough when a drop of water
spatters in it. Pour 1/3 of the egg mixture into the pan. Place one hand on
the pan handle, palm down, and move the pan in a backandforth motion.
With the other hand, using a fork, stir the egg mixture in a circular
motion, about seven times. Sprinkle the omelette with a tablespoon of the
cheese. To turn out the omelette, place your hand on the handle with palm
upward. Tip the pan and roll the omelette out onto a plate. Repeat twice
with the remaining egg mixture. Serve with additional Tabasco sauce, if
desired. From: The Tabasco Cookbook.

NOTES : More than a decade ago, Rudy Stanish, "the Omelette King" would
turn out hundreds of omelettes at a time for charity functions. He always
added Tabasco pepper sauce to his egg mixture. Rudy also used beer as the
liquid in his cheese omelette recipe, giving the eggs even more zip.
