Runny Omelet Food

OMELET

Steps:

• Crack eggs into a medium bowl. Add 1 tablespoon water, and salt and pepper. Whisk with a fork until egg whites are incorporated into yolks. Mix in herbs, if using.
• Place a 8- to 9-inch skillet (preferably nonstick or seasoned carbon steel) over high heat. Melt butter until bubbling subsides.
• Pour in egg mixture and reduce heat to medium. With the back of a fork or a heatproof rubber spatula, whisk eggs around skillet until the bottom begins to set. This takes only a few seconds. Add any fillings, if using.
• Tilt skillet and either bang or flip egg over itself. Use fork or spatula if necessary to complete folding in half or thirds. Angle the skillet and a serving plate together, and flip omelet onto plate.

OMELET WITH A RUNNY YOLK

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the ham and bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the ham is slightly browned and the pepper is softened, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together 2 of the eggs and some salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Stir in the Cheddar.
• Push the ham and peppers to the outside of the skillet, creating a ring. Pour the whisked egg mixture into the middle of the ring and let cook until mostly set, 1 to 2 minutes. Crack the third egg into the middle of the skillet on top of the omelet. Cover and cook until the egg around the edges is set but the yolk in the middle is still runny, about 4 minutes. Slide out of the skillet onto a plate and serve immediately, sprinkled with chives.

RUNNY OMELET

Steps:

• Heat a small skillet (non-stick is fine) over medium-LOW heat, and melt the butter. (It should not pop or crackle very much at all.).
• Crack your eggs into a separate bowl so as to avoid adding calcium to your dish (shells), and then pour them into the skillet.
• Sprinkle your salt and pepper over the top.
• Distribute your additives (tomatoes and cheese in this case) over the whites, doing your best to avoid the yolks. If you get some on there, it's not that big of a deal, but it could breach the yolk.
• Cover with a pan lid for three minutes for two eggs, four and a half minutes for three eggs. This will "baste" the eggs. You'll know they're done when the outside of the yolks turn pink.
• Simply slip the finished eggs onto a plate or into a large soup bowl, and you have a great egg breakfast without crispy edges or dry corners! Serve with toast, biscuits, or whatever other sopping device you prefer.
