"OMELETTE"


Omelettes. The fillings I use often are any leftover meat or sausages, spinach, and definitely bell peppers and onions. You can always use anything that you want as fillings for your omellete. Sometimes we just use cheese chunks and tomatoes. When I use cheese as my filling, I microwave the cooked omelette for about 10 seconds just to melt the cheese completely.

Try eating your omelettes with some tabasco sauce. Yummm.

"OMELETTE"


What You Need:



  • 2 large eggs

  • salt and pepper, to taste

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • shredded cheese of your choice


Sample Fillings:



  • 1 tsp butter

  • onions, chopped

  • garlic, minced

  • tomatoes, minced

  • bell peppers, chopped

  • chopped cooked meat like sausages, ham, chicken, pork, or any leftover meats

  • salt and pepper

  • sliced mushrooms (optional)

  • spinach


Prep:

-Sauté all the ingredients for the fillings together (add to the pan in this order: onion/garlic, mushrooms, meat, tomatoes, bell peppers, spinach) and set aside.


How To:

-Crack the eggs into a small bowl, season with salt and pepper, and whisk

-Heat the oil on a 9-inch non-stick frying pan and pour in the eggs.

-In the first 30-seconds of cooking, use a spatula to create 8-10 small cuts through the omelette which will allow the uncooked egg on the top to flow down to the bottom of the pan.

-When the top is almost set, sprinkle fillings over half of the omelette and turn off the heat*.

-Use your spatula to flip one half of the omelette over the other, top with shredded cheese, and serve immediately.


*Don't worry if some of the egg in the very center isn't quite set, because the ambient heat will cook it completely.
