Happy new year! Like most households, our refrigerator is still bursting with food prepared for the holidays. I was getting tired of eating humba, spring rolls, and macaroni salad, so for dinner, I whipped up some omelette. Of course, when I foraged for ingredients to put in my omelette, there was nothing else except holiday leftovers: queso de bola and ham. Not that I’m complaining though, I love the Christmas ham!
Basic Omelette Recipe
3 medium eggs
pinch of salt
freshly ground black peppper
1/2 tsp chopped celery leaves
filling of your choice
oil (optional)
- Beat eggs in a bowl with salt, pepper and celery leaves.
- Heat oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. The amount of oil varies on how non-stick your non-stick frying pan is.
- Pour the egg mix when the oil is hot. Swirl it around the pan until it covers the entire pan. Let the eggs cook for a while. When the eggs has cooked a bit, swirl the pan again.
- When the top of the egg is fairly dry, put your filling on one side of the omelette, leaving space on the edges.
- Flip the other end of the omelette to cover the fillings.
- Continue cooking for 10 more seconds then serve.
I’m such a terrible cook that I still at times fail cooking omelettes – they end up all runny and ugly. Feh! Have you tried grating queso de bola into your omelettes though? I love cheese omelettes!
That’s what I usually do, but I was too lazy to grate so I just dumped a handful of already sliced cheese XD
Happy New Year!!! 🙂
