Luke as we know or so we think is a great cook.  Since Rory was born Luke has always had French Toast on the Specials Board and he switched it with a new special omlete. The recipe shown below is what his original recipe showed ripe tomatoes, delicious bacon, and Swiss cheese. Not just an omelet with cheese. Let's all sit back and enjoy this new special. 

Season 2 Episode 18

LORELAI: I’m gonna go with the special omelet.
LUKE: Okay.
LORELAI: With a side of bacon.
LUKE: There’s bacon in the omelet.
LORELAI: Oh, then skip the bacon.
LUKE: The side of bacon?
LORELAI: The bacon in the omelet.
LUKE: Hold the bacon.
LORELAI: Can I get Jack cheese?
LUKE: On the side?
LORELAI: Instead of Swiss, Swiss is so stringy.
LUKE: Fine, Jack cheese.
LORELAI: Also, I think I’m allergic to oregano so hold that, too, and some coffee.
LUKE: So, just the eggs, tomatoes, and Jack cheese.
LORELAI: Not too many tomatoes.
LUKE: Light on the tomatoes.
LORELAI: Very light, just a teeny-tiny amount, practically none.
LUKE: I’m skipping the tomatoes. It’s an omelet with Jack cheese.
LORELAI: Perfect.

Ingredients:

3 Eggs

1/4 teaspoon Salt

Pepper to taste

2 tablespoons butter, divided

1/4 Cup grated Swiss cheese

1/4 Cup Romas tomato, cored and finely diced

2 Strips of Bacon, crumbled

1 Teaspoon Oregano

Omelet Instructions:

In a medium bowl combine the eggs and salt (pepper to taste). Whisk vigorously until the mixture has no streak of egg white or yolk. The mixture should be frothy.

Heat an 8-inch non-stick skillet or omelet pan over medium heat for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes and then add 1 tablespoon of butter.

Just as the butter begins to foam, add the egg mixture. Immediately start agitating the egg by stirring with a wooden spoon or chopsticks while shaking the pan with the other hand. 

As soon as there is no liquid egg, turn the heat down to low and shake the pan to settle the eggs. Use a thin silicone spatula to release the edge of the omelet. While releasing the edge, tilt the pan slightly in the opposite direction. 

When one side of the omelet is rolled toward the center, add the cheese and tomato. continue rolling the omelet closed and onto a plate.

Brush with the remaining tablespoon of butter and sprinkle with bacon and oregano.
