Omelettes

[longers]

Just checking to see how the new "poll" function works with a very serious and important question.

How many eggs do you use to make an omelette for yourself?

 

[Arch]

Hmm, I never actually make an omelette. Just not something I cook at home.

But I think it would be two. Or three.

 

[wafflycat]

Depends on size of egg. If 'normal' large egg, then three. If huge, then I'll use two.

 

[Slowgrind]

Three eggs at least! I think that it's a Frittata I prefer to omlettes.

 

[Dayvo]

Three, but it depends how many are going to eat it: i.e. small frying pan (3 eggs) or larger pan (more eggs).

 

[Turdus philomelos]

Also depends how hungry I am as well as the size of the eggs.

 

[Noodley]

Couldn't decide what to have to eat for supper, but now away to make a 3-egg omletteB)

Four Mark!

This is a way to coax even the most reticent of Eggistes out of their shell and get them to enjoy.
Break the eggs, yolks one cup, whites into a bowl. Olive oil in the pan - set it to pre-smoky.
Whisk for all you're worth to get a fluffy white assembly then add the yolks.
Monitor carefully, using eyes and nose - if adding cheese - think about the appearance. Should it be all inside? A bit of both? Too p****d? - just chuck it in. Ditto for legumes...
Adventurous? Flip it in the air - after easing the sides away with a wooden spatula. Unadventurous? Ease as before and lift the pan high - descend and the omlette will follow - hopefully the other way up!
Serve with lashings of nonchalance and all will be well with the world.

I always thought any more than 2 was being greedy .

Too much faff sir.

4 eggs.

Yes, very greedy.

Turned out ok. Still hungry though. At least the picture posting function works ok.

What's that next to the omelette, longers? Your last meal regurgitatedl?

 

[rusky]

3 or 4, partly to test the multiple choice poll, partly cos I like them

Aperitif's method is a bit ott though

 

[Aperitif]

What's all that stuff on the other half of the plate?
Uhh! 'healthy stuff' - that's OK then
