One of my staple breakfast foods is the omelette. While I like to add other things to it, I generally have to make do with what’s in the fridge.
For an omelette, the only things I absolutely need are:
| Ingredients:
- 3 Eggs
- Cooking Oil
- Cheese of some sort
- Salt & Pepper
|
|
In addition to the cheese, chopped or cubed ham may be added. I also like to add onion and tomato.
Regardless, without further ado, let’s get started. First, here’s a shot of my kitchen. I like to keep my work area clean, partially because I think I’m becoming somewhat OCD about keeping things clean, and partially because it doesn’t sit right with me to cook in the midst of a bunch of molding remnants of old food.
I also like to keep an air cleaner nearby my cooking area. Since I live in an apartment, the fan above the stove does little other than help circulate food smells around the place. I run the air cleaner whenever I’m cooking.
Finally, I like to have a coaster of some sort in the middle of the stove, to set things down on. I usually use the lid to an old butter container or, in this case, what I think was at one point a sour cream jar lid. The coaster prevents dropping food bits all over the stove, and makes cleanup easier. I usually just toss the coaster in with the regular dishes.
Now for the actual food-making part, which I imagine will be more interesting than hearing about my kitchen. To begin, I place the three eggs in a bowl. This is more habit than anything else. There’s no actual purpose to placing them in the bowl, because I take them out immediately after.
I remove the eggs from the bowl, wondering why I put them in there in the first place. I break the first egg over the bowl, making sure to catch the yolk inside of the eggshell. For either cholesterol reasons, or because this has been ingrained into my mind since birth, I leave one yolk out.
After this, I dump the rest of the eggs into the bowl. I got lucky this time around and managed to keep the first yolk in the shell. Usually, my clumsiness results in the first egg being splattered across the kitchen, with about a fifth of it landing inside the bowl. Generally, this fifth is mostly egg yolk.
Following this, I beat the eggs until the yolks have been completely broken and mixed into the whites. For this, I use whatever I can find, including but not limited to pan handles, screwdrivers, or my finger. Luckily, I had chopsticks this time.
By this time, the stove has heated up and I can spray a bit of cooking oil onto it. This is, once again, just a habit. Cooking spray rarely seems to work to do anything other than make the omelette taste oily. I pour the eggs into the pan, trying to make them cover as little area as possible. Whoever installed the stove here must’ve decided that nobody ever wants anything to be level, so the eggs always end up sloshing to one side.
While the eggs are busy burning in the pan, I shred some cheese into a plate.
After shredding the cheese, I add a bit of spices to it. Generally, "spices" means "whatever is lying around and looks like it might belong inside food". In this case, cilantro leaves. I mix the cheese around to help distribute the cilantro.
Now it becomes time to pry the charred brick of eggs from the "no-stick" surface of the frying pan. Grab your hammer and chisel, and chip away until you can see the underside of the omelette. It should fall apart into about 10 different pieces as soon as you look at it, none of which will be properly cooked on the bottom. I usually wait until the egg on the top has solidified a bit, then check underneath the omelette to make sure that it’s a good color for an omelette.
I flip the omelette now, to begin burning the other side. I’ve always seen people doing fancy tricks with omelettes, such as flinging them into the air and catching them upside down. I don’t trust myself doing this, so I flip it with a spatula. Not as showy, but you don’t end up with charred egg attached to the ceiling either.
Once both sides have turned into a burnt crisp, indistinguishable from what they originally looked like, I put the cheese on the top, trying to distribute it evenly across the top of the omelette.
After that, I grab one side of the omelette with a spatula, chisel, or other flat object. I fold the omelette in half, dispersing the burnt flavor throughout the cheese.
Once the omelette is transferred to a plate, I can begin sawing it open to eat it.
Delicious!
Disregard the fact that this was posted at 11pm. Omelettes are really a breakfast food, not a dinner food. |

that isnt an omelete, it is scrambled eggs with cheese! An olelette is basically a pan cooked custard that sets and doesnt fry and you never fold it over in the pan. It should be moist, not oily and the cheese should melt when you fold it out on th the plate. |

It’s an omelette. Or Omelet. Whichever. It doesn’t need milk to be one. |

There is unfortunately no ’safe’ time to have unprotected
if you wish to avoid getting pregnant. Even unprotected
during a girl’s period can result in pregnancy. Although women
are generally only fertile for a few days every month (usually
around the middle of the menstrual cycle) most women have no
definite way of knowing when this is.
