Omelettes
One of my favorite foods has always been the omeletteTricks of the Trade
1) Beat your eggs in a separate container before making your omelette. Don't just toss eggs in the pan; we are not making regular fried eggs.
2) When whisking your eggs, add some milk or cream. This will help to make them fluffy and delicious, rather than dense.
3) Use lots of cheese
4) Be daring with your ingredients. Just about anything can go in an omelette. If you like it, and the flavors work together, add it! Bacon, sour cream, tomatoes, potatoes, chiles, steak, salsa, vegetables... Toss in whatever you like! The omelette is a melting pot of delicious flavors, so add what you enjoy, and don't be afraid to really pack it in there!
5) Make an omelette of any size... If you are feeding a lot of people, don't be afraid to make a huge omelette. If it fits in the pan, you can cook it! When you go to fold it over, don't worry about perfection; as long as it tastes good, you are golden.
Making the Perfect Omelette... In the Oven?
One of the best things that I have found to create a delicious, fluffy omelette, is to employ a dual cooking style. Before you start making your omelette, preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Cook your omelette in the pan
Wrap aluminum foil
The next time I make one, I'll try to take a picture to add here. =-)
