For less than $1 per omelet and an endless possibility of ingredient combinations, omelets are cheap, yummy, healthy, and could be eaten for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The food revolution is not only about cooking at home, but about convenience without compromise and saving money. So here we go!!
William Turbyfill has been on a similar path as I have been lately. In his blog, Two Guys Who Talk, he has been on a theme lately called Road to AwesomeTown which includes lots of information he is learning about eating healthy and cooking from fresh ingredients. Check it out to find out about making spicy crazy awesome barbeque sauce and more!
Also, like me, William follows Jamie Oliver, and learned some of his omelet tricks from watching a clip of Jamie's on Amazon.com and came over to share this with me! Some things (like how many veggies to prep, when to add what, whether or not to add milk) are up to the individual, but the key factors to making the perfect omelet that are a must are:
1. Cook in butter, not oil. Mmmm.....
2. As soon as you put the eggs in, mix the liquid around so there are no pockets of air and the entire bottom is covered. This helps to cook it evenly. Just make sure you pan isn't too big. (My pan was a bit too big, so my omelet broke, which is why I am covering part of it with my hand in the picture, so you can't see the gaping hole.
We used fresh spinach, green peppers, onions, tomatoes, and the must-have sriracha sauce. As we scarfed them down (so yummy) we discussed other ingredients that would be so yummy. Feta cheese, avocado, cream cheese, etc. So once you get the basics down, get creative go crazy with it!
Stace- I just read this post and went and made myself a feta and avocado omelette. Seriously- I just finished it. Thanks for the inspiration. Yum!
