Basic Omelet Food

BASIC OMELETTE

Steps:

• Crack the eggs into a small bowl and whisk.
• Add some salt and pepper, if you like, but do not add any water, milk, or any other liquids.
• Heat the oil or butter in a 9-inch non-stick frying pan and pour in the eggs.
• In the first 30-seconds of cooking, use a spatula to create 6-10 small cuts through the omelette.
• This allows the uncooked egg on the top to flow down to the bottom of the pan.
• When the top is nearly set, sprinkle any fillings over half of the omelette and turn off the heat.
• Don't worry if some of the egg in the very centre isn't quite set, because the ambient heat will soon cook it.
• Use your spatula to flip one half of the omelette over the other and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Beat together eggs and water; season with salt and pepperl.
• Heat skillet over medium-high heat. Melt butter in skillet. Pour in egg mixture. As mixture sets at the edges, with spatula, gently push cooked portions toward the center. Tilt and rotate the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow into the empty spaces.
• When egg is almost set on surface but still looks moist, cover one half of the omelette with filling, to taste. Slip spatula under the unfilled side, fold the omelette in half and slide onto a warm plate.

BASIC KETOSHER OMELETTE

BASIC OMELETTE RECIPE

Steps:

• Season the beaten eggs well with salt and pepper. Heat the oil and butter in a non-stick frying pan over a medium-low heat until the butter has melted and is foaming.
• Pour the eggs into the pan, tilt the pan ever so slightly from one side to another to allow the eggs to swirl and cover the surface of the pan completely. Let the mixture cook for about 20 seconds then scrape a line through the middle with a spatula.
• Tilt the pan again to allow it to fill back up with the runny egg. Repeat once or twice more until the egg has just set.
• At this point you can fill the omelette with whatever you like - some grated cheese, sliced ham, fresh herbs, sautéed mushrooms or smoked salmon all work well. Scatter the filling over the top of the omelette and fold gently in half with the spatula. Slide onto a plate to serve.

CLASSIC OMELETTE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, beat the eggs.
• Melt the butter in a medium frying pan over medium heat.
• Pour in the beaten eggs. Stir and shake the pan, moving the eggs around until a few curds form. Reduce the heat to low, then flatten the eggs until the still-runny egg covers the entire bottom of the pan. Add any fillings that you would like.
• Let the omelette cook until the eggs are fully set, 1-2 minutes, then gently roll the omelette and transfer to a plate. The surface should be smooth with no color.
• Sprinkle with chives, if desired.
• Enjoy!

OMELETTE NATURE (BASIC OMELET)

Steps:

• Combine the eggs, salt and pepper to taste in a mixing bowl.
• Place an eight- or nine-inch omelet pan on the stove and heat well. Add the butter and, when melted, add the egg mixture and start cooking, shaking the skillet and simultaneously stirring rapidly with a fork, holding the tines parallel to the bottom of the skillet. Try not to scrape the Teflon or metal surface.
• Cook to the desired degree of doneness. Ideally, in the minds of most fine cooks, the omelet must remain runny in the center, yet firm on the bottom. Remember that the omelet will continue to cook until the moment it is turned out of the pan and that it cooks quickly.
• When the omelet is properly done, lift the handle of the skillet with the left hand. Knock the omelet pan on the surface of the stove so that the omelet ''jumps'' to the bottom curve of the pan. Use the fork and quickly fold the omelet from the top down. Let the omelet stand as briefly as possible over high heat until it browns on the bottom. Turn it out neatly onto a hot serving plate, seam side down.

PERFECT OMELETS

Steps:

• Have a serving plate ready. In a medium bowl, whisk eggs until frothy. Season with salt and pepper; whisk in scallions and/or herbs, if using.
• Heat butter in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high, tilting to coat pan; after foaming subsides, whisk eggs again, and add to skillet.
• Cook, stirring quickly with a heatproof rubber spatula, until eggs begin to thicken, about 30 seconds. With spatula, pull edges of omelet in toward center, tilting pan so uncooked eggs flow to edges of pan and underneath omelet. Cook until just set but still loose, 15 to 30 seconds (omelet will continue to cook once removed from heat).
• Sprinkle with filling. Using spatula, loosen omelet from skillet on all sides; shake pan to ensure it is completely released. Tilt pan toward serving plate; with spatula, working from side of skillet that's tilted up, fold 1/3 of omelet over the center.
• Simultaneously slide and roll omelet onto plate so that it folds over on itself again and lands seam side down. Brush or dab lightly with butter; serve immediately.
