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.

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.   煎蛋饼   成分 鸡蛋2个 2汤匙全脂牛奶 2汤匙成分 鸡蛋2个 2汤匙全脂牛奶 2汤匙牛油或菜籽油 樱桃番茄切碎 菜豆切碎 适量盐和胡椒调味料   方法： 1。在一个小碗内，将鸡蛋打散。 2。加入鲜牛奶，切碎的蔬菜和调味料，搅拌均匀。 3。在不粘锅加入牛油或油菜籽油以中高火煮。 4。倒入蛋液，转小火煎蛋饼 5。当蛋饼成形，翻转整个蛋饼煎另一面。   温馨提示： 1。你可以选择任何蔬菜和肉类馅料。 2。添加牛奶或水，将有助于使蛋饼蓬松。
