I have "fun" titles for some of my recipes. ☺
You can add some extra “zip” to this omelet by adding a
dash of Tabasco or cayenne to the eggs while blending
them!
“I Never Sausage a Thing Omelet”
Preparation Time: 5 minutes. Servings: 1-2.
Cooking Conversion Table
Ingredients:
1 1/2 teaspoons each of butter and peanut or vegetable oil
3 beaten eggs
2 tablespoons sliced red onion
3 ounces cooked, scrambled sausage
1 ounce Cheddar cheese (1/4 cup)
1 ounce Mozzarella cheese (1/4 cup)
Instructions:
Heat an egg pan over moderate heat
While the pan is heating, beat the eggs in a small mixing bowl with a wire whip until blended but
not frothy
When the pan is hot enough to sizzle a drop of water, add the butter and oil
When the butter stops foaming, add onions and sausage and sauté briefly to heat thoroughly
Whip the eggs a couple of times and pour into the pan
Let the eggs sit until they begin to cook around the edges
Lift edges of eggs with a rubber spatula and tip pan to allow liquid to run underneath
Repeat this process until the top is thickening and very little liquid egg remains
Sprinkle the cheese over the omelet and add salt and freshly ground pepper if desired
Fold in half and slide onto a plate or if serving 2, divide the omelet in the pan before sliding onto
2 plates
Enjoy!
Oops! ...I just dropped an egg on the floor!
Am I cleaning it up immediately? No. If I drop an egg I cover it with salt and leave it for a few
minutes. (Yes, I watch my step.) Then I use a paper towel to wipe it up. Much easier than
"attacking" the mess immediately.
