Chapter 3: Eggs, Dairy, And Breakfast Favorites

Name: Chapter 3: Eggs, Dairy, And Breakfast Favorites
Yield: 1 serving
Ingredients: First, have your filling ready. If youÃ¢ÂÂre using vegetables, youÃ¢ÂÂll want to sautÃÂ© them first. If youÃ¢ÂÂre using cheese, have it grated or sliced and ready to go. If youÃ¢ÂÂre making an omelet to use up leftovers-a great idea, by the way-warm them through in the microwave and have them standing by.; Spray your omelet pan well with cooking spray if it doesnÃ¢ÂÂt have a good non-stick surface, and set it over medium-high heat.; While the skillet is heating, grab your eggs (two is the perfect number for this size pan, but one or three will work, too) and a bowl, crack the eggs, and beat them with a fork. DonÃ¢ÂÂt add water or milk or anything; just mix them up.; Test your pan to see if itÃ¢ÂÂs hot enough: A drop of water thrown in the pan should sizzle right away. Add a tablespoon of oil or butter, slosh it around to cover the bottom, then pour in the eggs, all at once. They should sizzle, too, and immediately start to set.; When the bottom layer of egg is set around the edges-and this should happen quite quickly-lift the edge using a spatula and tip the pan to let the raw egg flow underneath. Do this all around the edges, until thereÃ¢ÂÂs not enough raw egg to run.; Turn your burner to the lowest heat if you have a gas stove. (If you have an electric stove, youÃ¢ÂÂll have to have a Ã¢ÂÂwarmÃ¢ÂÂ burner standing by; electric elements donÃ¢ÂÂt cool off fast enough for this job.) Put your filling on one-half of the omelet, cover the pan with a lid, and let it sit over very low heat for a minute or two-no more. Peek and see if the raw, shiny egg is gone from the top surface (although you can serve it that way if you like; thatÃ¢ÂÂs how the French prefer their omelets) , and the cheese, if youÃ¢ÂÂve used it, is melted. If not, recover the pan and let it go another minute or two.; When your omelet is done, slip a spatula under the half without the filling, fold it over, and then lift the whole thing onto a plate. Or you can get fancy and tip the pan, letting the filling side of the omelet slide onto the plate and folding the top over as you go, but that takes some practice.

Ingredients

First, have your filling ready. If youÃ¢ÂÂre using vegetables, youÃ¢ÂÂll want to sautÃÂ© them first. If youÃ¢ÂÂre using cheese, have it grated or sliced and ready to go. If youÃ¢ÂÂre making an omelet to use up leftovers-a great idea, by the way-warm them through in the microwave and have them standing by.
Spray your omelet pan well with cooking spray if it doesnÃ¢ÂÂt have a good non-stick surface, and set it over medium-high heat.
While the skillet is heating, grab your eggs (two is the perfect number for this size pan, but one or three will work, too) and a bowl, crack the eggs, and beat them with a fork. DonÃ¢ÂÂt add water or milk or anything; just mix them up.
Test your pan to see if itÃ¢ÂÂs hot enough: A drop of water thrown in the pan should sizzle right away. Add a tablespoon of oil or butter, slosh it around to cover the bottom, then pour in the eggs, all at once. They should sizzle, too, and immediately start to set.
When the bottom layer of egg is set around the edges-and this should happen quite quickly-lift the edge using a spatula and tip the pan to let the raw egg flow underneath. Do this all around the edges, until thereÃ¢ÂÂs not enough raw egg to run.
Turn your burner to the lowest heat if you have a gas stove. (If you have an electric stove, youÃ¢ÂÂll have to have a Ã¢ÂÂwarmÃ¢ÂÂ burner standing by; electric elements donÃ¢ÂÂt cool off fast enough for this job.) Put your filling on one-half of the omelet, cover the pan with a lid, and let it sit over very low heat for a minute or two-no more. Peek and see if the raw, shiny egg is gone from the top surface (although you can serve it that way if you like; thatÃ¢ÂÂs how the French prefer their omelets) , and the cheese, if youÃ¢ÂÂve used it, is melted. If not, recover the pan and let it go another minute or two.
When your omelet is done, slip a spatula under the half without the filling, fold it over, and then lift the whole thing onto a plate. Or you can get fancy and tip the pan, letting the filling side of the omelet slide onto the plate and folding the top over as you go, but that takes some practice.
