Build-Your-Own Omelette Bar
This recipe features all the components you’ll need to have diners create their own omelettes. Prep the ingredients before everyone arrives (you can do much of the work the night before). Then arrange the food in individual serving dishes on a buffet table next to the stove. Guests can custom-make omelettes as they please. Sourdough toast is the perfect accompaniment.
