Here in Brazil a somewhat common way to use up leftovers is mixing it with eggs and rice. Is a lot more like a scramble than an omelette (but it doesnt really have to be). I'm not usually a lazy person but I absolutely love those 'using leftovers in a simple manner' recipes from different cultures.

My favourite way to do omelettes is a cross between the two shown - soft and slightly under on the inside but browned and fried on the outside. I also can't go without a bit of melted cheese, some chopped parsley and thinly sliced ham or diced bacon in the middle. And always some cracked pepper on top!

You’re a pro. I made one finally. The ouher curd was perfectly cooked, but did split and crack during the rolling process so I didn’t make a picture perfect oneI believe it was too thick and had too much wait on my spatula. I looked the inside a little longer because I prefer medium/hard scrambled eggs. I used roughly shredded Munster in the inside. I ate it with some toasted sour dough. Unbelievably satisfying. Low heat fast stirs. I need more practice but I think I am on the right track.

Jacques Pepin taught me these techniques via You tube years ago. I’m still perfecting. But I LOVE the French style omelette. I’ll make an American style with deli turkey, cheddar, bacon, tomatoes and chives now and then, but the browning on the egg is not my favorite. With all the toppings you have no choice even on real low heat to go past the French style.

Fried raw potato slices, gruyère, black pepper, and fresh thyme. Fresh tomato. Browned shreds of sourdough bread, softened leek and sliced garlic in olive oil, creamcheese. Tomato slices, goatscheese, chives and thyme. Grilled Zucchini, grilled peppers, garlic, olive oil. So many more. Love me a good omelet ❤️

I use a Method by the Late Chef John Beard. If recollection Serves me Correctly . I Whisk or Beat the eggs until they Are somewhat ( or moderately ) Frothy. This is so that they have a " Sound but Spongy Finish " ! I.e the cooked edge is firm and slightly dry . When the bottom is cooked, the Filler is added. Be it; " Cheese, " Various Mushrooms, " Meats, " Vegetables," or Whatever . Then when they are Folded-Over they have [ as best as I can describe it ] a Cushiony Texture ! " That, " result in my estimation " Is 2nd., to none " ! It was also the way I was Introduced to Omelets. Which at the time I Despised, without ever having Tried them .

If she doesn't reply, I've had good experienced with my Select by Calphalon non-stick frying pans. Not the cheapest, but certainly a lot cheaper than many pans you can find out there, and the space saving design means if you buy the whole kitchen set all pans and lids with the same diameter stack inside of each other neatly for efficient storage. I've had mine for two years and treated them horribly and the nonstick coating has not budged even a little. If you never soak them and always clean them and towel dry them right away I imagine they'll last you a decade at least

One of the fundamental differences between American and European eggs is that European eggs are not washed and refrigerated. European eggs are sold at room temperature and not stored in a fridge. This video appears to be for the American market as this temperature difference is not addressed. Furthermore, the archetypal omelet video was from Julia Childs, and would have been from a time when American eggs weren't refrigerated either. This is not mentioned here. After French omelets, the best omelets are Indian (masala omelet), where browning is actually desirable.

The American omelette is really a Spanish tortilla. I've never made a French omelette in my life so it's not like I'm trying to be gatekeeper of the omelette here. My nascent efforts incorporated chopped, fried potatoes but I soon got that out of my system because not only is it somewhat 'gilding the lily' - it turns a quick meal into a torrid saga. 'Gilding the lily' is a handy barometer for omelette recipes. Adding an extra egg won't necessarily give you more of the same. My standard 'omelette' Three eggs beaten with ground peppercorns, the merest soupcon of English mustard and a glug of milk. Stir in some roughly chopped / crumbled white cheese of the Caerphilly / Wensleydale / Cheshire type. Similar scramble / pan-fry method but I push it into a mound and finish under a grill. Either olive oil or olive sandwich spread in the pan, depending on whether I'm running low on either. No real preference but that rule of thumb dictates it's usually oil. I prefer white cheese over Cheddar-type cheese in just about any context (even grated over pasta dishes) - and it doesn't stick like tar to dishes when you cook with it. Cheddar's alright for crackers, sandwiches and the occasional toastie - but it's still not first choice. Thanks for the video. I appreciate and admire your techniques.

If I add cooked onions, should I remove them and put them in a side bowl til the eggs start cooking? Or can I add the eggs to the onions already in the pan? :o
@daltigoth3970 Жыл бұрын
Depends on what you are wanting to accomplish. If you don't want your eggs to taste like onion, you definitely want to remove them from the pan before putting the eggs in. If you want the eggs to have an onion-y flavor throughout, you can leave the onions in the pan when you add the eggs, but you might have trouble keeping the omelet together when you fold it, so this works better if you are using a smaller pan or add an extra egg to make the omelet thicker. Alternatively, you can add your oil before you remove the onions and let them sauté in it for up to a minute before removing them, which will infuse the oil with the onion flavor so the eggs can absorb that flavor. I would recommend letting the oil cool almost completely before adding the egg though, otherwise the egg starts to fry the second it hits the oil. For an onion flavor throughout, I find it better to cook the onion at medium-high for about a minute, then lower the temp and cook for a couple more minutes. Remove the onion then add it back in as soon as you are done scrambling the eggs. Sprinkle them across the entire surface of the egg. That lets them sink into the egg some, but not all the way through since the bottom is already mostly set. Then add the rest of your fillings to one half as shown in the video.

American style with bacon and cheese is my favorite. Use a flat pancake pan. Fry the bacon first, then no butter or oil is needed. No spatula needed either. Just slide the omelette halfway onto the plate, and then flip the rest over with the pan.
