Omelet Making

[Ares]

Clone and I were just discussing making omelets, mostly the aspect of pan flipping them.

In college they did an omelet bar in the dining hall on Saturdays/Sundays and those dudes would put in the eggs.... drop in the veggies/meat to cook into the eggs.... then when a pattie had formed they would pan flip the whole thing, put in cheese and fold it over.

Clone says you can also do something where after the pattie has formed you push the remaining raw egg out the sides to cook, idk about this technique, sounds lazy.

How should/do you make omelets and what are your favorite combos?

One of my personal favorites is bacon, tomato, and cheddar cheese.... simple but delicious.

As long as there is cheese, I'm generally happy.

I know.... I been pan-flipping hashbrowns for like 6 months, I am chef-level now bruh.

I am asking if you think pan-flipping your omelet is the way to go or should you use some other technique like Clone was talking up.

You should be cooking omelets on low heat while constantly pulling the curds into the center with a fork to make all those fluffy folds. Once it starts to solidify enough toss in you ingredients and flip it (usually with the help of a spatula to make it easier) then do the cheese and fold thing.

You don't have to flip it. There are different techniques. One is flipping. One is the three fold omelette which you do not flip. I have also seen people use two pans when all the ingredients for the omelette are cooked in one pan and the omelette itself in another. Ingredients put into omelette right before it is done then folded and topped with cheese.

Man, this takes me back to one of my first jobs. I worked every Sunday brunch making a 100 plus Omelet's in front of people. The worst is when your in the middle of a rush of people and some dbag comes up and wants an egg white omelette without any type of fat in the pan and 8 different things in it.

The home cooking way. In a restaurant, them burners are on high and you are turning and burning.

Cheese, tomatoes, turkey (ground), spinach, sautéed onions. For a sauce, really any will do as I like them all. Hollandaise, salsa, bbq sauce. It's all good.

Got to love Hollandaise on top of everything. Kill your arteries real fast. ****, that brings me back to when I use to make a shit load of that. Im glad I don't do brunches anymore.

Yeah, trying to troll people on slack and ccs is a much easier job than making Hollandaise gravy. acman:

....Hollandaise and ketchup go really well together...

Prawnbro what's your favorite omelet?

Never would have found out unless my almost three year old made me try it. The sugar and salt elevated the hollandaise.

Medium + body
medium acid
medium complexity
medium + finish

If I ate an omelet I would be a canibal

You people do know that restaurants take all the old butter off their tables, pull out the cigarette butt then use the leftover to make Hollandaise
