An omelette or omelet is a preparation of beaten egg cooked with butter or oil in a frying pan, often folded around a filling. Gourmet cook Julia Child famously described an omelette as soft-cooked scrambled eggs wrapped in an envelope of firmly-cooked scrambled eggs. Many variations exist.
* Spanish tortilla de patatas (European Spanish for "potato omelette") is a characteristic thick omelette stuffed with fried potatoes and fine cut onion, and fried using olive oil. See also tortilla. In England this is called a Spanish omelette, and may include cheese or cooked diced ham.
* A Western omelette, also known as a Denver omelette, is an omelette filled with diced ham, onions, and green bell peppers. Often served in the midwestern United States and sometimes has a topping of cheese and a sidedish of hashbrowns or fried potatoes.
* In the United States, a Spanish omelette is an omelette served with an often spicy sauce of tomatoes, onions, and bell peppers.
* Frittata is a kind of open-faced Italian omelette that can contain cheese, vegetables, or even leftover pasta. Frittate are cooked slowly. Most often, they are cooked on the stovetop on low heat until the eggs are set, then run under the broiler, but they can also be baked. Except for the cooking fat, all ingredients are fully mixed with the eggs before cooking starts.
* In Japan, omelette (pronounced omuretsu) can mean a western omelette but also omuraisu (from the English words "omelette" and "rice"). It is a fried ketchup-flavored rice sandwiched with a thinly spread beaten egg or covered with a plain egg omelette. Omu-soba is an omelette with yakisoba as its filling. Okonomiyaki is a Japanese pancake which is often compared to an omelette.

This may surprise you, but try this: Make a nice salad, and put a raw egg over it. Make sure you've rinsed the eggshell carefully first, using dish soap - that kills off the salmonella (and no, they wouldn't be inside the egg - that's not how eggs work, no matter what people may think). The sensation is not so much in the taste (it tastes all right), but in how great you feel afterwards. Raw, non-denatured protein from an egg is a pure power-infusion.

You can try steam egg
Get around 3 - 4 eggs beat it and then pour in chicken broth ( room temperature ) and beat again until all even. Then u can put in some mushroom or fake crab stick in it. After that put the whole bowl into a steamer and steam around 8 - 10min. After that you will find the egg will clog into tofu alike and then take out pour some soya sauce and garlic oil ( Pls dont use butter. you can use normal cooking oil or olive oil and slow fray the garlic in very low heart until golden brown and fragant ) on it . The dish is ready to serve......
Hope you enjoy....
P/N : if dont have chicken broth, one can replace by normal plain water.

Eggs Benedict. Here's what you do:
Talk about three egg yolks, heat over a double boiler (pot with water, then pot, or bowl, with egg yolk over it) Whisk in oil, a very small amount at first, then gradually more, this is called 'tempering' add lemon juice at the end and this is Holandaise sauce, put it over eggs over easy that are on top of Canadian bacon and an English muffin....look the recipe up for better directions! I am used to just winging it when I cook!

How about fried eggs?? I like them cooked, but with the yellows runny so I can sop my buttered toast in them...mmmm! Or you could try french toast...a cup of milk, 2 eggs, cinnamon, 1tsp. vanilla extract & 1 tsp syrup. Whisk together really good. Dip bread into batter (coating BOTH sides) quickly. Place them in a buttered skillet on medium high. Cook until brown then flip and cook that side until its golden brown. Sprinkle some powdered sugar on top and garnish w/ syrup! Yummy!!
