Western Side Up Egg Food

WESTERN OMELETTE

Steps:

• Whisk eggs, water and pepper in small bowl; set aside.
• Spray 8-inch (20 cm) non-stick skillet with cooking spray. Heat skillet over medium heat. Add red pepper and onion; cook, stirring frequently, until tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in ham.
• Pour in egg mixture. As eggs set around edge of skillet, with spatula, gently lift cooked portions to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath. Cook until bottom is set and top is almost set.
• Slip spatula underneath omelette and fold in half. Slide onto plate.

SUNNY-SIDE UP EGGS RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Break each egg into a small bowl or ramekin.
• Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until it is shimmering. Turn the heat down to low and then, one at a time, slide the eggs into the pan.
• Place a lid or plate on the pan so it is tightly covered. Cook the eggs, covered, for about 2 1/2 minutes, or until the whites are firm and the yolks are still bright. If your low heat setting is on the hot side, begin checking the eggs after about 2 minutes.
• Arrange the eggs on a plate and sprinkle with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.

PERFECT SUNNY-SIDE-UP EGGS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium nonstick skillet over low heat until slightly shimmering, about 5 minutes. Crack an egg into a small ramekin and slowly add it to the skillet; repeat with the other egg, adding it to the other side of the skillet. Cover with a tight lid and cook, uninterrupted, until the whites are completely set but the yolks are still runny, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Slide the eggs out of the skillet onto a plate or toast. Season with salt and pepper.

WESTERN SANDWICH (WITH POP'S SECRET INGREDIENT)

Steps:

• Heat 1/2 tablespoon of butter in a small non-stick frying pan (I use a non-stick frying pan that's around 7 inches in diameter) over medium heat.
• When melted, add bell pepper and cook for 2 minutes until softened slightly. Transfer bell pepper to a small bowl.
• Make one sandwich at a time. In a bowl, whisk 2 eggs. Add a pinch each of salt, black pepper and garlic powder. Next, add half each of cooked ham, bell pepper, cheese and onion. Whisk to combine.
• Reduce heat to medium-low and add 1 tablespoon of butter to pan.
• Once butter is melted and foamy, pour in egg mixture. Cook for 1 minute or so and then gently swirl to allow excess eggs to flow around pan and underneath the egg itself, about 2 to 3 minutes more.
• Carefully flip to cook other side or (do what I did) and fold egg over so it's a half-moon shape and continue to cook, about 1 to 2 minutes or until cooked through.
• Once the omelette is cooked, remove from pan, cut in half and place between two slices of toasted, buttered bread. Repeat to cook second sandwich. Can keep first sandwich warm in the oven on 200 degrees Fahrenheit (or wrap instead) while cooking the second sandwich. Serve and enjoy!
