Eggs,seasoning…nothing else ,the salt breaks down the albumen to aid the whisking.
. If your pan tends to stick put a cup or so of salt in it and keep the pan on a high heat for 5 mins,the salt will draw out all the moisture .( throw this away)
. Just a drop of oil,get the pan **very ** hot throw in all the egg and give a very quick mix with the back of a fork-just a few seconds.
. No further mixing,adjust the heat to give the degree of browning you want while retaining a moist fluffy texture on top.
. turn to a half circle shape,serve.
Ommelettes were my speciality when i was in the army catering corps
Ok…you said you hardly ever get cracked shells , so its not an infalible ‘secret’…errrm… you put something in the bottom of the pan to stop any direct heat or you put the eggs into a chinoise strainer and pop that in the pan. i must be right this time…mustn’t i ?:ermm:
Yea , cooked lots of quail and quail eggs…approx 1/2 time for boiling as a small chick egg but either get em into icy cold water immedietly or shell and eat em pronto ,they will quickly go rock hard otherwise .
eat like you would for bread/olives/olive oil, but have a saucer of cracked black pepper and sea salt to dip em in…yum yum yum :):)
Thanks mate, would they be better with olives and cherry tomatoes or capers and gherkins? Need to know soon as I`m planning a new hot date in the near future with a member of the womens royal auxilliary corps who goes by the name of Katie Sue.
