We had a few really nice warm days this week but its back to cold ones for the weekend. Those warm days got me to thinking that spring would soon be here and that I should start cleaning out all of these winter supplies. At the top of the list was the apples which have been ever present in my fridge since winter started and I knew just how to use some of them. Ever since I made the caramelized apple and cheddar omelette with bacon and candied walnuts I have been thinking about a version that uses gorgonzola rather than cheddar. The creamy and tangy blue cheese goes just as well if not better with sweet and tart apples as the cheddar and this was the perfect time to try it out for a nice weekend breakfast. The gorgonzola version of the caramelized apple omelette was amazing! I would be hard pressed to choose a winner between the two and you really could not go wrong with either. What a great start to the weekend!

You always come up with the best combinations ever. Mind-blowing. I've made something like this, but man, I forgot the bacon!!
You are *killing* me here! I want you to come to my house and cook this for me NOW! Yes, I know I could cook it myself, but you're a better cook than me, and I'm sure it would turn out better if you did it. 🙂
Love it all but with the addition of bacon – extra yum!
Cheddar or gorgonzola…that is the question. I have both on hand right now. The only thing that means – TASTE TEST!
Love it! Great recipe!
I made a version of your other one but with the things I still had around – diced & sizzled beef stick, apple, caramelized onion & diced apple. My son's comment: "Why would you ever want to eat anything else?" A big hit & a permanent addition to the breakfast AND dinner menu around here.
