| It’s so easy to make an omelet. I make them regularly for Barry…..especially when I have stuff in the refrigerator that I want to get rid of. You can put ANYTHING in an omelet – cheese, salsa, taco meat, bacon, ham, peppers, onions, steak, hot dogs, chicken nuggets. I’d say most people who don’t make omelets don’t do it because they think it’s hard. I’m here to shed light on the subject! If I can do it, you can do it! Now, this omelet turns out a little rough because I got in a hurry…..it split open. Guess what? It still tastes delicious. Did you know that they make a special pan just for making omelets? Good grief! What normal person has room in their cabinets for all these contraptions? I had to get rid of my dishwasher in order to store more cake pans, so I really don’t have room for a special omelet pan. Good thing we don’t need it. So, let’s clean out the fridge and make an omelet! |
 All you need to make an omelet are eggs, water, salt, pepper, and cooking spray. Of course you need your fillings, but that will vary each time you’re making one. The omelet I make the most is just salsa and cheese for a filling. We like to keep things simple in the Myers household. |
 You’ll mist a small skillet with cooking spray and turn the oven on to medium heat. Let it get hot before you pour the eggs in. |
In a small bowl, beat two eggs and one tablespoon of water. You can add salt and pepper if you like. I like. I like a lot. Salt is our friend. Embrace the salt. Food without salt is…….unsalty. Beat the eggs until they start to get a little foamy. |
When you’re done mixing the eggs, pour them right into the hot skillet. They should almost immediately set on the bottom. It’s so hot in there, it could cook an egg! |
 When they start to set, take a spatula and start pushing the edges into the center. This will let the uncooked parts flow out back into the skillet to cook. Do this all the way around the outer edges. |
 Keep doing this over and over until the eggs are set. They will still be moist on top. While this doesn’t bother the average person, I cannot stand runny eggs. Ew. So, seeing them moist gives me the heebie jeebies. *Shudder* If it doesn’t bother you, you can ignore this next step. |
 I take a big, flat spatula and turn my eggs over so they can cook on the other side. It only takes a few seconds since the skillet is already hot. This gets rid of any of that runny moistness that gives me the heebie jeebies. |
 Now that your eggs are cooked, you want to add the filling. You put it only on one half of the egg surface. You can use whatever you like. Be creative! This particular one is a pizza omelet. I used some leftover pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, and pepperonis. Taco omelets are also good. I could go on and on with combinations……but Barry doesn’t like it when I offer too many choices. |
 Take the side of the omelet that is not covered and flip it over onto the other side. You can use the spatula you used to flip it over so you don’t dirty more dishes. I try to avoid dirtying too many dishes as I got rid of my dishwasher in lieu of cake pans. Yes, I have a very serious disease – I like cake pans. Let it sit in the skillet just long enough to warm the filling and melt the cheese. The eggs are already cooked so we don’t want them to disintegrate. See mine split when I folded it over. No big deal. Sure, it’s not as pretty but it tastes just as good. Actually, it did sorta bother me……but I try to ignore it. I do not need omelet therapy. |
 Now, serve it up! I served this one with hash browns on the side. Barry said it was delicious. I wouldn’t know because I don’t like omelets. Ew. I am weird about my eggs – scrambled or boiled please. And I cannot STAND runny deviled eggs. Oh Mylanta. Talk about a gag fest. Runny eggs make me want to runny away – yes, you’ve heard me say that a million times.
See how easy it is!? Make one today and make someone very happy. Yes, you just learned to make an omelet from an Omelet Specialist……who won’t eat omelets. Good thing I have a taste tester. |
