Eggs are tasty, full of nutrition, easy to make, can be had in varied forms, filling, and the last resort of people like me who often do not feel like cooking a full meal for one's self. An egg can be had anytime of the day, and believe me, nothing is more fulfilling than a breakfast of bread and eggs! Only I cannot have that everyday. Omelettes are supposed to be a full no-no for me, because of the oil required. Concerned people around me are asking me to eat the egg sans the yolk!! What is the egg without a yolk??
So when it comes to eggs, I really do not give a damn about the options, even if that means gaining a bit more of weight again. So I have come up with a roundabout omelette recipe with as less oil as possible. Try this out, it is really filling and healthy when you are dying of hunger!!
Ingredients
- Two eggs
- Salt
- Crushed Black Pepper Corn
- Chopped Onions
- Chopped Green Chillies
- Chopped Coriander, Capsicum, Tomato [ all or any/optional]
- One spoon white oil/butter
Procedure
- Beat the eggs well with all other ingredients , except the oil/butter.
- Take a small frying pan with a lid. If the frying pan does not have a lid, find one that will more or less fit it.
- Warm the pan, and smear the oil/butter with the back of a spoon throughout the surface of the frying pan. Remove the excess oil.
- Now put the egg mixture in the frying pan, and move the pan so that the mixture spreads evenly around the surface.
- Cover the pan with the lid, and keep on low flame.
- The egg mixture will get sort of baked and rise to some extent. Keep checking in between so that the omelette doesnt get burnt towards the bottom.
- You will realise the omelette is done when inserting a slotted spoon under the omelette will make it slide smoothly.
- Transfer to a plate and enjoy hot with loads of sauces.
By the way, while searching for the correct spelling of omelette, I reached this page on Wikipedia! It provides interesting information on everything about omelettes!!
