The is a dish of which I am the undisputed master of cooking in our household. To put this in context, I am someone who loves cooking, and cooks a lot of the meals that we eat as a family. However, amongst these, only this has my daughters in agreement – omelettes.
Simple, tasty, filling, good for any meal, and a great way of using up any old stuff in the fridge. I know they are something a lot of people know how to make, and I felt similar, until I started reading about the many, many ways of making them. I tend to like my omelettes thin, so if you are looking for a thick diner-style one, then take a look at the link above.
Here’s my recipe. The below serves one four year old and one seven year old – but you know what children are like, sometimes the seven year old will eat all of the below to herself, or just nibble a tiny corner. The good thing is, it’s easy to make another if necessary.
Ingredients:
2 eggs
Salt
Pepper
Merest dab of butter
Whatever you/they want in them – in our house it is usually cheese and ham, but chicken, broccoli, spinach, asparagus, bacon, leftover potatoes, onions, chorizo, mushrooms, peppers and more have all been tried.
Equipment:
Non-stick pan
Fish slice
Bowl
Method:
I like mine with a squeeze of siracha, but the girls have yet to agree!
