The Omelet

Now, I don't know about you, but it took me a while to master the omelet. My biggest problem was trying to stuff it full of yum-yums without them all pouring out the sides when I would fold it. Let's be real-- if I could fold it. Well, anyways, I think I've figured it out! The trick is deciding what goes in with the eggs, in the middle of the omelet, and on top! This way, most of the ingredients are bound with the eggs so all you need to make room for in the middle is cheese. Lots and lots of cheese...

Ingredients:

- 2 eggs

- 2 tbsp milk or cream 

- S&P

- Butter or olive oil

- Scallion

- Mushrooms

- Ham 

- Sprinkle cheese

- Tomato

- Avocado

Use as little or as much of each/any ingredient you want! It's all about achieving the perfect combination of flavors. 

Directions:

Crack your eggs in a bowl, add a splash of milk or cream, and beat together until combined.

Chop up what you want inside the egg mixture. For this omelet, I used a little bit of scallion, a handful of mushrooms, and 3 slices of ham! Toss these ingredients into the bowl and fold until they're fully coated with the egg mixture. Lastly, add in a dash of S&P.

Turn a small to medium size nonstick skillet on medium heat. Add just enough olive oil or butter to coat the bottom of the pan. Then, pour the egg/meat/veggie mixture into the skillet while making sure all of the goodies inside don't get clumped together in one area.

Once the edges of the omelet start to firm up, gently slide your spatula underneath and lift the edges while tilting the pan so that the raw egg in the center runs underneath the omelet and cooks.

When the eggs are almost done cooking, and the bottom is starting to brown, sprinkle on your cheese and fold! 

If folding an omelet isn't quite your forte, don't worry, it'll taste just as good either way! (Droppin' rhymes like a boss.)

Finally, top with whatever fresh ingredients you like! I used to put my tomatoes inside the egg mixture, but they would get mushy and take on a tangy, tomato sauce-like flavor. So, I realized I would much rather have them raw and cubed on top! I also love using alfalfa sprouts. And, obviously, avocado is essential.

Now, omelet you finish, but this was the greatest bite of all time! Of ALL TIME! Too cheesy? The Kanye joke, not the omelet. Whatever, you still want to eat this.
