Ive never actually made a omelette before, checked out some ones on the web there all like 2 eggs, anyone make on with 6 or 7? Just trying to think how to get 50g of pro into this omelette.
I do it all the time.
3-5 oz of chicken cut into small cubes. Some finely chopped onion and sliced mushrooms.
Saute in pan until cooked then add in egg mixture (5-6 whole eggs or 8-10 egg whites)
Cooked then flip half over (you can add a bit of shredded cheese before you flip). Cook for a bit longer then flip onto the other side and done.
Omlettes are super easy and a great way for eggs to not get boring.
Nice, I was thinking tuna tossing tuna in there instead of chicken. Then I found this.... IHOP Colarado Omelette, I think I could tweak it a little to fit what I need out of it. And it looks so damn good.
i use a can of tuna mix with a tblespoon cream cheese in my omlet of 5 whole eggs. Great way to get both tuna and egg down!
cream cheese eh? hows the fish taste of the tuna does the cream cheese take it out?
I rinse my tuna in water, kills the tuna taste, and lowers the sodium content.
I use 6 eggs, salsa to taste, some shredded cheese, and steak
i cook up some ground beef first. Then I cook up four eggs with green onions and peppers when I am about to fold in half I add the beef and shredded cheese.
3 eggs
100g ham, cut into small cubes
30g shredded cheddar
scramble eggs in bowl then dump into the frying pan. Cook until firm, flip, add ham and cheese, fold in half and slide onto plate. Also good with mushrooms and onions.
Gets you ~45 grams of protein in ~400 calories.
I usually eat this with some fruit or oatmeal.
So here was attempt 1 at an omelette
5 eggs, 100g of chicken, some onions, some green pepper and some cheese. Fack was it good. Just need some practice flipping it
learn how to make a fritata instead
What the hell is a fritata? Sounds fancy
Looks fancy, sounds fancy quite easy to makeQuote:

1)Don't flip it until the very last minute, you want the egg to be cooked firm as far through as you can without burning the bottom. If you have a lid for your frying pan use it, this will help the omelet firm up throughout better before the flip.
2)Put the spatula under the omelet with your right hand, and in your left hand lift the frying pan off the stove and toss the omelet up into the air, then just use the spatula to lightly guide it into the flip. This takes a little practice but has been the biggest help to me.
3)I got a giant omelet spatula for Christmas one year. I'm pretty sure it came from the dollar store, but its round and almost the size of the frying pan. I used it a lot before I learned the pan flip method.
Also there's another method of making the omelet entirely that you can use. Cook the filling separate, make a "naked" egg omelet then put the stuff in the middle and fold the egg onto it so its stuffed like an egg taco. This method works well if your putting a lot of fillings in because as I mentioned above, the more stuff you have in the egg mixture the more it disrupts the eggs structural integrity and the better chance of it breaking up into scrambled omelet during the flip.
I used to bake omelets in the oven in my cast iron frying pan too, which avoids the flip entirely. It takes longer to make though and I'm not a morning person.
....smells like what I called a baked omelet lolQuote:

Toss some franks on that succa!
My omelette: Carton of egg whites,cabbage,mushrooms,spinach,cayenne pepper.Filling and a little spice to it.
I precook groud turkey and add it in with some pepperjack cheese salsa and hot sauce
I usually do the chicken and salsa. Tastes pretty good. You can throw a little cheese on if that tickles your fancy. I have also added a bit of greek yogurt to the eggs when scrambling them. Makes them a little creamier and pretty tasty. If I'm in a hurry I just have scrambled eggs/whites topped with some salt and pepper and don't bother with the omelette.
