How To Cook A Omelette
Ingrediants:
A frying pan/omelette pan
Choice of filling(sliced ham, grated cheese, cooked chopped tomatoes, etc.)
Vegetable or Olive oil
2 eggs
Salt and pepper
Directions:
Make sure your filling choice is prepared in advance.
About the frying pan
Make sure your pan doesn't stick. To prevent your pan from sticking, make sure it is clean, then put about a 10ml layer of salt in it. Heat it getting it very hot. Shake the salt around until its brown. Discard the salt and remove the residual granules carefully from the hot pan with kitchen paper. The pan will now be able cook an omelette without sticking.
- Heat the pan with a little of the oil in it (not too much, 2 tbspns max)
- Break the eggs into a dish and whisk them with a fork untill well mixed. Add a little salt and pepper.
- When the oil has blue huey smoke rising from it pour in the whisked egg, have a fork or flat wooden spatula ready, and as the egg mix starts to bubble keep bringing the cooked parts gently into the centre. This gradually allows the omellete to set into a pancake style consistency.
- Carefully tap the pan so that the cooked omelette moves and slightly overlaps the pan edge.
- Gently fold this overlap in toward the center it should only go one third distance.
- Now arrange your chosen filling in the center of the omelette and fold the other edge in towards the middle. If you have done this properly, when you turn it out onto a plate the omelette should resemble the shape of a "Havana" cigar.
It can also be served with a salad garnish, as a meal with chips, or Jacket potato and peas. Chop some parsley and sprinkle it over to finish the job.
