Different Ways to Make Omelets
There are several different ways to make omelets. The French method utilizes a technique that involves jerking the pan in a particular way to form a rolled omelet. Another method calls for blending ingredients into the eggs before pouring the mixture into a pan. A third has the ingredients layered on top of the cooked egg and is placed briefly under the broiler to heat the toppings and melt any cheese that might be included. Whichever method you select, you will be able to make an almost infinite variety of egg dishes.
Omelet Making Tips
Although omelets are fairly simple, they provide many opportunities to create something that is really delicious rather than run of the mill. For example, they taste best if you use fresh eggs and add complementary herbs or spices to the egg mixture. Some people choose to whisk water or milk into the beaten eggs to produce omelets that are fluffy and light. Finally, it is important to choose toppings that harmonize well.
Fillings
Almost any combination of ingredients can be used to top or fill an omelet. While there are certain classic combinations such as ham and cheddar or mushrooms and spinach, there are also many opportunities for improvisation. Leftover cooked vegetables, numerous kinds of cheese, and meat or smoked fish can be combined to delightful effect.
Although omelets are commonly associated with breakfast, heartier fillings can be used to make a satisfying lunch or dinner.
