We have a deal at home, because I lack a certain, say - finese, in the kitchen, I do the dishes and he usually makes the meal. This is espically true for weekend breakfasts, when eggs are needed and you can take the time to sip coffee and make more than just toast with almond butter. That said, I had never made an omlet, mostly becasue I didn't have to.
This weekend I was on my own and decided I would take all of my observational learning and attempt my first omlet (I always just cop out with scrambles because I know that I can do those o.k.). So I went step by step. First, I sauteyed the onion and added the mushrooms to that when the onion had become a bit golden and translucent. When that was done I put that in a bowl in the oven to keep the mixture warm. Then on low heat I poured three eggs that had been lightly beaten into the non-stick pan. Periodically I turned and tilted the pan, I realize this is noththing new to most, but for me it was quite an accomplishment. In the end I added some goat cheese and added the onion & mushroom mixture, then folded over the egg. And viola! My first ever honest to goodness omlet! Seriously - look how golden that is. I was quite proud. Not confident - I'm not about to change the name of this blog(ish). It even tasted good.
In fact, the reason I decided to re-start this project was the omlet. I felt compelled to take pictures of the breakfast, just to prove to the regular cook of the house that I did it. Then I thought about how I had wanted to chronicle my attempts at cooking for a long time and have never gotten to it - like a number of other things (hello, backflip).
So, I did.
Ta-da.
