I have never really been all that big on omelettes but with my recent success with the butternut squash and gorgonzola omelette I was ready for more! With the gorgonzola still on my mind I naturally started to drift into the 'What else goes with gorgonzola?' question and my first answer was pears. A quick search of the internet did not pull up anything that inspired me, but while I was searching I thought that pears also work really well in caramel sauce. Wait a minute! Could I possible dare trying a sweet and savoury caramelized pear omelette with gorgonzola as a breakfast??? With the idea in my head I could not resist making it! While thinking about it some more I decided to add bacon to strengthen the savoury side a bit and with pears, why not add some pecans? The caramelized pear and gorgonzola omelette with bacon and pecans surprised me by being even better than I could possibly have imagined in my wildest dreams! The sweet pear and caramel when so well with the tangy gorgonzola and salty bacon. The best part of this omelette was the areas where the caramel and melted gorgonzola had melded with the warm, light and fluffy eggs infusing them with their flavours. Each bite was a mixture of pure delight alternating from sweet to savoury and back again and I could not resist licking my plate clean to get every last bit. I will definitely be making omelettes a lot more often from now on!
