Instructions
1
Begin by draining the crushed pineapple using a mesh strainer to remove excess juice. Set aside.
2
Allow the cream cheese to soften at room temperature for easier mixing.
3
In a mixing bowl, combine the drained pineapple and softened cream cheese until well blended. For a savory twist, fold in chopped ham (lunch meat works well) and either raw or sautéed onions. Set this mixture aside.
4
In a separate bowl, crack three eggs and beat them together until fully combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5
Add one ounce of canned whipped cream to the egg mixture and mix thoroughly, which will add a unique lightness to the omelette.
6
Heat a six-inch frying pan over medium heat and lightly coat it with non-stick spray (or add a small pat of butter for flavor).
7
Pour the egg mixture into the hot pan and allow it to cook undisturbed for 1 to 1.5 minutes until the bottom starts to set.
8
To finish cooking the top, place the pan under the broiler for a minute or until lightly golden.
9
While the omelette is still in the pan, spoon a quarter of the cream cheese mixture onto half of the omelette, then gently fold the other half over to cover the filling.
10
Carefully remove the omelette from the pan and serve warm. You can keep each prepared omelette in a covered dish in a warm oven while you prepare the remaining ones.
