Omelette 煎蛋饼


Serving home grown vegetables

Omelette is a recipe which needs no introduction.  A basic omelette is so simple and easy to prepare that a kid can do it. For variations, it can be as simple as eggs, onion and milk mixture to rich cheesy, meat, seafood, vegetables and any combination of your choice.

To some, it can be a little tricky to cook an entire omelette without folding. The skill in flipping the omelette over to cook both sides evenly without breaking may not be easy to master.

My experience tells me practice makes perfect. The following additional tips would also be of some help.

1.   Recommend to use a non-stick pan with less oil.
2.   Not to put too much eggs mixture:
This is because when egg mixture is too thick, the centre may be too runny resulting in inconsistency in the omelette texture where it can tear easily when flipped.

3.   Cook with medium low heat to avoid the bottom side turning brown before the top centre egg mixture sets.
4.   Only start to tilt the pan when the centre of egg mixture sets.
5.    If omelette too big and too thick to flip, use a bigger plate to cover and slide the omelette cooked side down onto the plate. Invert the pan over the plate, then holding them firmly, turn the plate and pan over together.

Shared below was my healthy vegetarian version with home grown cherry tomatoes and dwarf beans freshly picked from my home garden in Auckland. For more of my Kiwi garden click on My Green hopes.







Omelette




Ingredient
2 eggs
2 Tbsp. whole milk
2 Tbsp. butter or canola oil
chopped cherry tomato
chopped dwarf beans
salt and pepper to taste
 
 


Methods:
1. In a small mixing bowl, beat the eggs.
2. Add in fresh milk, chopped vegetables and seasoning and stir to mix well.





3. Melt the butter or add in canola oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
4. Pour in egg mixture, when the egg starts to set, tilt the pan to distribute the runny egg mixture to the edge and reduce heat to cook.

 
5.       When the egg is almost completely set, lift the edges and flip the entire omelette to cook another side.
6.       Then slide onto a plate & serve up.
 
Tips:
1.       You can opt for any choices of vegetable and meat ingredients as fillings.
2.       Adding some milk or water will help make the eggs a tad fluffy.

    1. Hi Eric:
      Dont wait for having house/garden to start gardening, you may begin with simple herbs pot plants in your kitchen, these are great for apartment/condo setting.
      I love the idea of having parley, spring onion pot plants at my kitchen window. Because I can pluck them as I wish to use in the cooking, so fresh and handy. :-)
