Omelette cook off…

June 11th, 2006

After reading a post about making the perfect omelette I decided it would be a good idea to have an omelette cook off seeing as I enjoy making them. This post is dedicated to the omelette I made today and if you want to use the recipe then feel free to do so… you won’t be dissapointed.

The Recipe

• 1 Green Pepper
• 1 Red Pepper
• 1 Onion
• 1 Red Chillie
• Thin sliced cured ham
• Austrian Smoked Cheese
• Cheddar Cheese
• 4 Eggs
• Milk
• Ground black pepper
• 4 tbl spoons of olive oil

The Method

1. Dice your onions, chillie and peppers
2. Grate your cheddar cheese & slice your Austrian smoked cheese
3. Break 4 full eggs into a bowl, add a little milk and add black pepper to your taste then beat with a fork
4. Add the olive oil to a hot frying pan heat it up and then add your onions, peppers and chillie
   
5. Once your veg has gone a little soft, add your egg and milk mix
6. Stir the egg lighly in the pan and mix it with the veg
7. Allow the Omelette to cook for about 6 or 7 mins until it looks at a bit like this:
   
8. Add your ham to the top of the omelette like so and place under a hot grill:
   
9. Take it back out again once the ham has been lightly grilled.
   
10. Sprinkle a little bit of cheddar cheese evenly around on top of your ham and top that up with your smoked cheese (I chose a nice pepperoni pizza style design…)
    
11. Stick it back under the grill for a bit untill the cheddar has gone all oily and is bubbling whilst the smoked cheese has just gone all gloopy…
    
12. Now comes the fun part, what you have to do is take a fish slice around the bottom of your omelette to make sure the whole thing will slide out your pan. Once you have done that, tilt your pan over your plate until just over half the omelette is out of the pan and then drag the pan back agross the omelette to fold it over.
    
13. Now you have cooked you omelette it is time to serve it up, I usually cut it in half and then serve it between 2, with this particular omelette I decided to slice potatoes and mix them with olive oil, mixed herbs, garlic salt and a little hint of cajun spice and then oven them for the duration of this cook off. To top it off I used a garnish of quatered vine tomatoes which I was going to put in the omelette but decided against it.
    

I hope you like my omelette and maybe get some use out of the recipe… Omelettes are great fun to cook and don’t be afraid to experiment. I have made a few donkeys but generally they turn out okay in the end.

Happy eating!
