Puffed Hash Omelette Food

STUFFED HASH BROWN OMELETTE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Take your hash browns out of the freezer to allow them to begin to thaw.
• In an eight-inch nonstick pan, melt one Tbsp. of butter on medium heat and add onions, occasionally stirring. Allow to cook until they have softened and begin to brown. Add the peppers, stir, and salt to taste. Cook until they begin to soften.
• Add the spinach and allow it to wilt for a couple of minutes. Transfer this filling to a bowl.
• Put your pan back on the heat and add one Tbsp. of butter, melting on medium heat. Add your hash browns and season with salt and pepper to taste, stirring until the butter and seasoning are evenly distributed.
• Arrange the potatoes in a flat even layer. Sprinkle cheese evenly on top and allow it to melt. Then, sprinkle the filling evenly on top. When the bottom of the hash browns has crisped up and browned, your hash brown omelette is ready.
• Shake the pan to make sure it's not sticking to the bottom, then bring it over to your plate and carefully tilt the pan, using the edge to help fold it over in half.
• Add your favorite toppings and enjoy! (We used chopped scallions and a chipotle sour cream.)
• For the chipotle sour cream:
• Combine ½ (115 G) cup sour cream or crema, one Tbsp. chipotle in adobo (finely chopped), a pinch of salt, and a splash of water to thin it out.
• Enjoy!

WESTERN HASH BROWN OMELET

Steps:

• Beat the eggs in a large bowl until foamy. Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ham, bell peppers, onion, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and starting to brown, about 6 minutes; add to the bowl with the eggs.
• Preheat the broiler. Wipe out the skillet and return to medium-high heat. Melt the butter in the skillet, then add the frozen hash browns in an even layer. Cook, pressing the hash browns into the bottom and up the side of the skillet with a spatula, until golden on the bottom, about 6 minutes.
• Pour the egg mixture over the hash browns. Transfer the skillet to the broiler; cook until partially set, 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle the cheese and all but about 2 tablespoons scallions over the eggs. Continue broiling until the cheese melts and the eggs are set, 2 to 3 more minutes.
• Loosen the edge of the omelet with a small spatula. Slide onto a platter and fold in half. Cut into wedges; top with the reserved scallions.

PERFECT OMELET

Steps:

• Beat the eggs: Soak 3 large eggs for 5 minutes in hot-not scalding-tap water. This will ensure that the omelet cooks faster, and the faster an omelet cooks, the more tender it's going to be. Crack the eggs into a small bowl or large bowl-shaped coffee mug. Season with a pinch of fine salt. Beat the eggs gently with a fork.
• TIP: I prefer a fork to a whisk for omelets because I don't want to work air into the eggs: Air bubbles are insulators and can slow down cooking if you're not careful.
• Heat the pan: Heat a 10-inch nonstick saute pan over medium to high heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon room-temperature unsalted butter. Once melted, spread the butter around the pan with a basting brush to ensure coverage.
• TIP: Heat your pan empty for a few minutes before adding the butter: Even a nonstick surface is pocked with microscopic pores that eggs can fill and grab hold of. Heat expands the metal, squeezing these openings shut.
• Add the eggs: Pour the eggs into the center of the pan and stir vigorously with a silicone spatula for 5 seconds. (Actually, it's not so much a matter of stirring with the spatula as holding the spatula relatively still and moving the pan around to stir the eggs.)
• Let them cook: As soon as curds begin to form (that's the stuff that looks like scrambled eggs), lift the pan and tilt it around until the excess liquid pours off the top of the curds and into the pan. Then use the spatula to shape the edge and make sure the omelet isn't sticking. Move the spatula around the edge of the egg mixture to help shape it into a round and loosen the edge. Then walk away. That's right-let that omelet sit unaccosted for 10 long seconds so it can develop a proper outer crust. Don't worry: Your patience will be rewarded.
• Finish the omelet: Time for the "jiggle" step: Simply shake the pan gently to make sure the omelet is indeed free of the pan. Lift up the far edge of the pan and snap it back toward you. Then use the spatula to fold over the one-third facing you.
• Change your grip on the pan handle from an overhand to an underhand and move to the plate, which you might want to lube with just a brief brushing of butter to make sure things don't bind up in transit. Slide the one-third farthest from you onto the plate and then ease the fold over. Imagine that you're making a tri-fold wallet out of eggs-because that's exactly what you're doing. And just ease the pan over. There, that wasn't so hard.

SHEET-PAN OMELET WITH SAUSAGE AND HASH BROWNS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450˚ F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Toss the potatoes, bell pepper, onion, vegetable oil, 2 teaspoons salt, a few grinds of pepper, the paprika, garlic powder and thyme on the baking sheet and spread out. Bake, stirring once, until the vegetables are browned around the edges and tender, 40 to 50 minutes. Push the potatoes to one side of the baking sheet so that they cover about half the pan.
• Make a 6-by-9-inch tray out of a double layer of foil; the sides should be about 1 1/2 inches high. Place the foil tray in a corner of the baking sheet and coat with cooking spray. Whisk the eggs, cheese, milk, 2 scallions, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Pour the egg mixture into the foil tray. Arrange the sausage patties, overlapping if necessary, in the remaining space on the pan.
• Return the pan to the oven and bake until the omelet is puffed and set and the sausages are heated through, 20 to 25 minutes. Let sit a few minutes before serving. Top the omelet with the tomatoes and herbs; sprinkle the sausage with the remaining sliced scallion.

PUFFED HASH OMELET

Steps:

• 1. In a bowl, beat together eggs, water, salt, and pepper. Melt butter in a large skillet or omelet pan; pour in egg mixture.
• 2. Cook over low heat, pushing edges in toward center as mixture sets. Tilt and turn pan as necessary to allow uncooked portion to flow to the edge. When surface is set but still moist, slide omelet onto oven-proof plate or baking sheet.
• 3. In a bowl, combine hash, bell pepper, and chili powder; spoon evenly over top of omelet.
• 4. Bake in a preheated 400-degree oven for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake 5 minutes longer. Fold omelet in half.

PUFFY OMELET

Steps:

• Separate the egg yolks and whites into 2 separate medium bowls. Add 1 tablespoon of water to the egg whites and, using a hand mixer, beat on medium-high speed until medium peaks form, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Season the yolks with salt and pepper and beat until smooth, thickened and slightly pale in color. Fold one-third of the egg whites into the egg yolks and thoroughly mix until there are no streaks. Add half of the Gruyere and the soda water. Pour in the remaining egg whites and gently fold to combine.
• Melt the butter in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until it foams, then pour in the egg mixture, smoothing the top. Cover the skillet and cook until the omelet is golden brown on the bottom and you can lift the edges to peak underneath, about 5 minutes.
• Sprinkle the remaining cheese and the herbs on top, cover the skillet and cook 2 more minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and keep covered until the cheese melts, about 1 minute. Fold over and serve.

HASH BROWN OMELET

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell peppers, Canadian bacon, a pinch of salt and a couple grinds of black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are just tender and the bacon begins to brown in spots, 3 to 4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the veggies to a small bowl, then return the skillet to the heat.
• Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil to the same skillet, swirling the pan to evenly coat. Add the shredded hash browns in a single layer, pressing them down with the back of a heatproof spatula. Cook, undisturbed, until the bottom is golden brown and crispy, about 8 minutes. Flip the hash browns over, add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil around the edge of the skillet, then continue to cook until the other side is golden, 4 to 5 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and a couple grinds of black pepper in a small bowl until thoroughly combined.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low. Break apart the hash browns slightly, then pour the eggs over top in an even layer. Cook until the eggs are just set, about 1 minute. Lay the cheese on one side of the omelet, then sprinkle over the reserved peppers and bacon, the tomatoes and scallions. Continue to cook until the cheese is just melted, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Fold the omelet in half over the filling like a book, then slide onto a plate. Top with the sliced avocado and serve immediately.

ORIGINAL CHEESE OMELET

Steps:

• Preheat omelet pan on medium heat.
• Mix eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until frothy. (Don't over whisk).
• Cut piece of butter off the short side of stick and melt in pan so omelette does not stick.
• Pour mixture into pan and wait till it is cooked and thick. If it falls apart in pan, let it cook more.
• Next,when the omelette is thick and does not fall apart when lifted take ripped up American cheese slices and put on one side of omelette.
• Flip the uncheesed side of omelette to the side of the omelette with cheese. Wait until cheese melts and take off and into plate.

POP'S DOUBLE-STUFFED, DOUBLE-FLUFFED AMERICAN OMELET

Steps:

• In a 10- or 12-inch skillet, cook the sausage and bacon fully over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until tender. Reserve the mixture in a bowl.
• In a blender, whip the eggs and half-and-half until very light, about 90 seconds on high. (A milkshake blender, while not entirely necessary, does offer a little bit more fluff and a bit more fun.)
• Give the skillet a wipe and warm it over medium heat. Swirl the butter in the hot pan to coat it completely. Pour the whipped eggs into the pan and cook until fully set around the outer edges, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the heat to low and top the whole surface of the omelet with the spinach and cheddar. Cook until the spinach is slightly wilted and the cheese begins to melt.
• Add the sausage mixture to one side of the eggs and use 2 spatulas to fold the other half over the side with the sausage mixture. Cook until the eggs are set and the cheese is fully melted, another 2 minutes. The outer surface will be lightly browned in places and likely have some spots where cheese has broken the surface and possibly caramelized on the edges. This is considered a good thing, not unlike "burnt ends" in the BBQ world.

PUFFED CHEESE OMELET

Steps:

• Combine the mascarpone, chives and garlic, rosemary and sage (if including) and set aside.
• Place the egg yolks, cream, salt and pepper in a bowl and whisk until they are combined.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks then gently fold through the egg yolk mixture.
• Heat the butter in a 20cm/8 inch non-stick pan over a medium heat; pour the egg mixture into the pan and cook for 5 minutes; sprinkle with the parmesan and cheddar; spread the mascarpone mixture onto one side of the omelet and carefully fold over to enclose the filling; cook for a further 1-2 minutes; sprinkle with parmesan and serve.
