This isn't really an omelete. I just call it that for lack of a better word. As far as I know, I'm the only person who makes this. It's just something that I made up and eat quite often for breakfast.
Three slices of plain white bread.
Two jumbo eggs (or three medium eggs)
One medium onion
Minced garlic
About three slices of sharp cheddar cheese
Salt
Ground Black Pepper
Cayenne Pepper Sauce
Shred slices of bread into a small stirring bowl
Finely dice onion and throw into bowl with bread
Crack eggs into bowl
Add minced garlic (I just use minced garlic from a jar)
Add pinches of salt and ground pepper
Stir vigorously with a fork
Set aside for maybe five minutes
Stir vigorously again, and pour out into large preheated and greased pan into the shape of a very thick pancake (grease can be oil, butter, or your preferred spray)
Fry at a fairly low heat and flip when the top starts to show signs of thickening and the omelette is solid enough for flipping
Place cheese on top
After bottom has had time to brown, remove from frying pan onto dining plate
Liberally sprinkle cayenne pepper sauce onto omelette
Enjoy!
It's actually very good. I came up with it as a way of having bread with my omelette without needing to make toast separately. I just made bread part of the omelette.
Edited because I forgot garlic. I give no measure for the minced garlic, but I use a lot. Like a heaping tablespoon.
Because there is just me, these I do mainly simple ,one pot cooking.
I have an electric wok, which doesn't really get hot enough fo stir fry. I still cook a lot of stuff in it, par cooking the harder vegetables in the microwave.
I tend to make the classic two minute (timed) omelette; I have a very old cast iron omelette pan; medium heat for an omelette..
Preheat the pan.
Take two eggs, break into a bowl, add two tablespoons (scant) of water. Mix lightly. Add a knob of real butter to the preheated pan. Pour in egg mix. At the one minute mark add say a spring onion, cheese, ham ,asparagus, or what ever you like .Fold omelette in half. At the two minute mark, slide the omelette from the pan onto the serving plate. It will continue to cook.
