Omelets

Every Saturday morning I make omelets for breakfast.  It took me a long time to figure out how to make omelets.  That is, I always had trouble with the folding part of it.

I used to just take the stuff I wanted to put inside an omelet and sauté it up.  Then I would whip up the eggs and pour them into the skillet with the other stuff and scramble it all together.  But I really wanted to learn how to fold an omelet.

I  purchased an omelet pan similar to this one found at Amazon.com.  However, I usually ended up with a mess on my hands.  Even though the pan was supposed to be non-stick, something always seemed to stick.

I soon discovered that the best pan was my 8” non-stick frying pan.  After a little practice, I can now fold an omelet.

The best thing about omelets is that you can put just about anything you want in them.  I generally add hash browns, sausage and cheese to our omelets.  Occasionally I will use up some left overs that I have. 

Some of the different things I’ve put into omelets are:

·         Fresh vegetables – celery, spinach, tomatoes, onions, green peppers, etc.

·         Left over Kung Pao (not the rice), General Tso, or Hunan Chicken

·         Fried rice

·         Spanish rice

·         Chili

·         Various meats -- Pepperoni, ham, bacon, shrimp, etc.

·         Cheeses – pepper jack, cheddar, mozzarella, cottage cheese, etc.
