    Whenever I screw up my omelette, I just pretend that I was making scrambled eggs from the start.

      Whenever I try to make an omelette and my roommate asks what am I making, I tell them eggs just so that if I do mess up they won't call me out on it.

      And if it gets burnt you can always call it a char grill. Nothing went wrong until it's burnt to ashes :P

    @intractablemaskvpmGy 7 років тому +125

    I had an omelette like that this morning! And I stuffed it with fried rice, sriracha and hoisin sauce. Nice thing about an omelette is you can have it on the plate in minutes and it's good any time of the day.

    • @intractablemaskvpmGy
      @intractablemaskvpmGy 7 років тому +16

    I add finely grated cheese during the folding process, before each folding move. The cheese melts inside with the heat. Tastes great, I recommend to everyone...

      @Eisofice 7 років тому +92

      Opposite Lock like most eggs, the eggs need to be fertilised to turn into chickens... egg laying is chicken ovulation and we're kinda eating the leftovers.... yup that's kinda disgusting, you really can understand vegans sometimes.

    One of the very first things I remember watching on UA-cam is Julia Child making this exact kind of omelette. She had a different way of making it but this one looks...cleaner, for a lack of better terms. I bet they're both delicious.
