I'm up early even though I've got a day orf. Thinking of doing a fluffy omelette.  Can't seem to get them quite as fluffy or as light as mama's. Not sure where I go wrong. In India during the occupation Englishmen adapted the Hindi breakfast of rice, lentils and spices by plopping a fried egg on top. Gawd we seriously ruptured their culture. But it is the most important meal of the day..but this early and I'll be peckish again by nine. |

Whip the eggs to a frenzy - and as you fry it scrape the egg to the middle of the pan so it doubles up on itself. We rarely do an omelette these days without a bit of onion, potato and or ham or bacon. makes it far more substantial and filling - Oh - and always use one more egg than folk might usually say. Makes a world of difference!

Chris - my dad taught me how to make an omelette; it was the only thing he could cook!
Separate the whites from the yolks and whisk them. Stir the yolks with a fork without whisking and blend them in with the whites before cooking.

Omelettes are silly. Why not just stick to either scrambled eggs or souffles like what I do? I have never made an omelette, it's too difficult to understand.  |

Scrambled Eggs on Toast! One of life's comfort foods!
Christmas 96, I spent with my Nan - We had Poached Egg on Toast for Christmas Dinner. Because we felt like it. Odd thing, but PEoT was one of those "special" Nanny type things!
I see there's a toaster manufacturer that now makes one with an egg boiler on the side! Bonkers!

No matter how cooked, they must be from runabout hens. Not necessarily "free range", but at least allowed to fly and perch in a big barn.

C'mon Trubbs...you can't beat a real, bacon, ham, mushroom and cheese omelette! And you certainly can't include all those ingredients in scrambled egg, that's just wrong!  www.deliaonline.com/cookery-school/how-to/how-to-make-an-omelette,5,AR.html AH |

Seeing as we're talking about eggs, this is very tasty:
Make a cheese and ham sandwich (I use Warburton's seeded wholemeal loaf). Beat an egg in a shallow dish and dunk the sandwich in it making sure all the egg is soaked into the bread. Fry gently until golden brown and the cheese is melted, and serve with some salad if you want to pretend you're eating healthily.
Yum yum yum.

sounds everso good it's weird eggs - as in boiled (hard and softt), poached, fried soft, scrammmmmbled YUK, make me gag but i love the idea of eggs - they are the most perfect thing if only i could eat them without cooking the living daylights out of them |
