It’s As Easy as 1,2,3!

Well I am probably off on my way to spend the day moving. We rented a U-Haul, and that is stuffed to the brim—I never thought I could fill one of those! (It’s all my cooking stuff I tell ya!) Anyways, on days like these that will require lots of energy, you will definitely need to fuel up big time—preferably with a hefty dose of protein. My choice of protein? A nice omelet. Although, I don’t like my omelet fluffy all the time, I am more of a crispy on the outside, lots of veggies/seasonings and a gooey inside. After about a year of trying to get it “right”, I finally mastered just how I like it, so now I can have these great omelets whenever my heart desires! Here’s a little step by step on how I like to make my “perfect” omelet of choice in just three steps!

Step 1

• Get out a non-stick skillet(preferably a 10”)and mist lightly with cooking spray. Then turn your burner on medium-high and let it sit for about 3-5 minutes(known as the dry-heat method). Once you place your hand above the pan and can feel the heat significantly, it’s time to add eggs, veggies, seasonings, etc. I use 3/4 C of liquid Egg Beaters, about 1/4 cup of mushrooms, and a handful of frozen bell peppers and onions. I use a generous amount of pepper, a dash of garlic powder, and a few pinches of pizza seasoning—I swear it’s the best in eggs people! Make sure once you pour the eggs to place veggies pretty evenly throughout.

Step 2

• Let sit until edges start bubbling and forming a crispy-like crust. Once that happens, turn down to low-medium heat. Then take a spatula and gently flip the edge up until you get it in a half moon shape—like this—>

Step 3

• Turn the burner completely off and let the filling cook a tad bit more(about 2-3 minutes). Take your spatula, transfer omelet to a plate, and dig in! Or in my case, slather the whole thing in ketchup—then dig in! =)

Look how nice and brown this turns out! You have the perfect outer crust but still maintain that good gooey center!
