I have been learning to cook recently. I knew how to make a few basic dishes, but my recent enthusiasm is all due to spending a month with Xri and performing almost-daily experiments with food. I’ve decided to share a few simple recipes that I like, now and then.
Omelettes are truly versatile, and damn difficult to get right. Subtle changes in preparation will lead to large differences in taste in the finished product, so I think making great omelettes is almost an art-form, that I hope to master in a few years.
A “half-fried honey omelette” (as I call it) is a very simple omelette to make, and one of my favorites. Here’s what you should do:
- Take a pan, put it on medium heat and add a teaspoon of olive oil.
- Crack two eggs over the pan: don’t mix them beforehand.
- Try to get your egg whites evenly spread on the pan.
- Add a tea-spoon of honey on top.
- Then, gently stir the top, breaking the yolks and mixing it with the honey; spread it but make sure that you don’t disturb the bottom.
- After a minute or so, your omelette should be almost ready. You don’t want it to become totally solid, the yolks should be a bit watery.
- This is difficult: try to move the whole omelette without breaking to your dish. I usually can’t do this, you an alternative is to fold it before serving.
- No need to add anything else (no salt or pepper required). Eat it hot!
OK, please comment if anyone tries making this.
