Dad's early morning effervescence is usually best expressed in the kitchen. All the noise he makes (from clattering pots and pans to the high pitched whirr of the blender) is generally forgiven by the first bite.
Get your eggs out and let them get as close to room temperature as possible.
In separate small bowls, get your "fillings" ready:
Grated cheese
Chopped onion
Mushrooms (canned or sautéed)
Chopped ham
Bacon bits
Chopped olives
Crumbled sausage
Green pepper
Chopped tomato
Etc. Etc.
In a non-stick omelets pan, heat bacon grease or butter on medium/low heat. In a small bowl crack and beat 2-3 eggs. Pour into pan and tilt to enable full egg/pan-coverage. Then A) Add the "fillings" when the egg is nearly done. Fold the egg in ½ and let it sit for another minute or so, or B) Flip or turn the egg (over sink to avoid accidents) to cook both sides before adding "fillings".
While the first omelets are cooking, you will have cracked and beat more eggs into the bowl so that when the first omelets is done, the next can be started right away. Serve with bacon or sausage, toast and OJ.
