A few questions about omelets???!


Question: A few questions about omelets!?!?!?
first and foremost - i've decided i'm going to start eating them more often!.
i don't have a lot of money to spend on groceries, and i hate cooking just for myself (i'm recently single)!.
i'm a mom, with a needy, amazing little 8 month old, so i don't have much free time on my hands to cook / plan recipes!.

i would imagine omeletes are somewhat healthy!?!?

also, can you give me some recipes!?!?!?

thanks so much!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You have a lot of good omelet recipes on this page above me!. I only suggest that if "healthy" is on your mind you substitute for 2 eggs: One egg and the whites of two more eggs, disposing of the yolks to get rid of the fat and cholesterol!.

Or you could use a bottled refrigerated egg substitute like Egg Beaters to make a really fluffy omelets!.

One more trick: if you are adding things like mushrooms, green peppers, onions, or other veggies, heat the butter in the saute pan first, add and saute the veggies partially to get the liquid out of them, and then pour on the egg mixture!.

Helps eliminate that watery goo that occurs when folding omelets!.

Good Luck!Www@FoodAQ@Com

There are really no recipes for Omelettes!. Beat 3 large eggs, add 1/2 tsp of cold water, beat again!. You need a good fry pan, teflon is best!. Spray the pan with Pam cooking spray!. Cook with a lid, do not try to flip it!. Add your filling when the top of the omelette looks fully cooked (no runny stuff)!. Any type of filling works, red peppers, onions, cheddar cheese, chopped cooked ham, shrimp (canned), or any type of leftovers you have!. One omelette would feed you and your baby and is very healthy for you both!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

basically just take 1-2 eggs, and add either milk or water!. then add seasonings to taste!. pick out your fillings and prepare them!. then scramble the eggs in a bowl and pour in to a pan with melted butter!. cook about 1 minute or until you can see that about one side is done!. then flip over and immediately put on fillings on one side!. check on other side and fold when the eggs are cooked thoroughly!. thats it =]Www@FoodAQ@Com

beat up 2 or 3 eggs with a splash of milk and add what ever filling or veggies you feel like!.!. I have seen ones with chili in or taco meat!.!.!. Really its what ever you want/sounds good/ have on hand

I get a pot of water boiling add a little salt and in a ZIP LOCK ( must be zip lock, freezer bags no off brands) pour your filling cheese and eggs in zip shut tight with no air in the bag and place in boiling water let boil for about 12-15 minutes for 3 eggs!.!.!.!. they will slide right out no messy omelet pan to clean up after!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Learn the "method" of making an omelette, and then you can let your imagination take over as far as the fillings, cheese, etc!. etc!. This is a good way to use up leftover veggies and things like pieces of ham, bacon, etc!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Although omelets are fairly simple, they provide many opportunities to create !.!.!. For example, they taste best if you use fresh eggs and add complementary cream!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Use water, 1 TBL per egg instead of milk for a fluffier omelet!.

40 Second Omelette

Serves 1

Recipe by Howard Helmer

This is the easiest, fool proof, method to produce a great omelette

Ingredients:
2 size 7 eggs
2 tablespoons of water
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon of butter, margarine or oil
Fillings of your choice e!.g!. sliced tomatoes, diced ham, chopped mushroom and grated cheese etc!.


Method:
1!. Beat eggs, water and seasoning together in a small bowl until blended!.

2!. In a 26cm non-stick pan heat the butter, margarine or oil until very hot - but before it starts to smoke!. Pour in the egg mix (one standard soup ladle holds two eggs and two tablespoons of water)!.

3!. With an inverted spatula quickly begin to tilt the pan and draw the edges of the mixture into the middle gently allowing the runny mixture to fill the hole!. Tilt the pan as necessary to fill the holes created by the spatula with liquid egg mixture!. Repeatedly 'dig holes and fill them' until the egg mixture no longer flows!.
Your omelette should fill the entire pan and still be moist on top!. This should take about 20 seconds!. Be careful not to over cook the omelette so that it becomes dry!. The moist egg will cook when the omelette is folded!.

4!. Sprinkle all of the filling on the left side of the pan (left handed people fill the right side)and fold the unfilled half of the omelette onto the filled half!.

5!. Setting aside the spatula and holding the pan in your right hand and a plate in your left hand, tip the pan so the omelette falls gently upside down onto the plate (left handed people use opposite hands)!.

6!. Garnish!.

(By sliding the omelette upside down onto the plate any tears or holes exposing the ingredients on the top of the omelette are now hidden on the bottom!. The result is a perfect omelette in around 40 seconds!.

For more than one serving, simply add a further 2 eggs and 2 tablespoons of water per serving into the bowl!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
