Help with omelette?

Question

My group at school has to show the class how to make an omelette, and I'm in charge of measuring the ingredients in a measuring cup. I don't even know how to do it. How much of what ingredient am I supposed to measure? We're using kayan peppers too, I think, so how much of hem am I supposed to use?

Answer 1

Depends on how many eggs you are using...and what your preferences are...You know...How you like your omelet....but for example if you use three eggs you would probably use about 1/4 cup of cheese and about 1/4 cup of bacon or ham or sausage or whatever you are putting in it....I would only use about 1/8 cup of stuff like tomatoes, olives, onion.....And only a dash or pinch of kayan since it is HOT!! and I don't like HOT!! so I would not like the peppers at all..Hope this helps you...ss

Well, here's an omelette recipe. I'm sure you can leave out the parsley, mint, and scallions and subsitute your kayan peppers if you must. Not sure how hot kayan peppers are so I wouldn't use too many.

Ingredients:
• 1/3 Cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tbsp Finely chopped parsley
• 1 tbsp Finely chopped fresh mint
• 4 Eggs
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 1/4 Cup milk
• 1/4 Cup finely chopped scallions
• 2 tbsp Butter


Cooking Instructions:
• In a mixing bowl beat the eggs with the salt and pepper until it starts bubbling.
• Beat in the milk, mint, parsley, scallions, and cheese until well homogenised.
• In a heavy skillet melt the butter over moderate heat.
• Pelt in the egg mixture and spread it out evenly.
• Reduce the heat to low and cover it fully and cook until the edges of the omelet begin to get firm. Uncover and run a spatula around the edges to keep it from sticking to the pan.
• When the center of the omelet is almost firm, place a plate over the skillet and invert, dropping the omelet onto the plate. Gently slide it back into the pan, cover, and cook for a few minutes longer until the underside is lightly browned. Slide out onto a serving plate, cut into wedges, and serve at once.

New word : mis en place, pronounced " meez ahn plahse. Usually referred to as simply " Place" As in "Danny O get all your place together before you start making these omelette's "
What it means it that you have prepped everything you need to make these omelets before hand and have all your ingredients , tools , and equipment readily available for use. when you make them.
So a standard omelet is 3 eggs. 1 large egg is 2 Oz's in volume so you need 6 Oz's of eggs per omelet.
The easiest way to do that is scramble 2 dozen eggs and then using a 6oz ladle portion it out into the omelet pan.
If you want smaller omelets switch to a 4 oz ladle.
The container that the eggs will be in needs to be clean and sanitized and placed in another larger vessel full of ice to keep the eggs cold.
Your work area will have individual ingredients in separate containers available for your use.
Except cayenne peppers which should only be used in very small amounts.
have fun

Measure out any specific ingredient you want to put into the omelette...e.g. onions, mushrooms, pepp's, olives, anything you want to put inside, tomatoes, salsa, zuchinni, whatever....just ask how much you should do for the size of the omelette.

Answer 5

First, you should know how to spell properly, Cayenne pepper! And it is best to use like a handful of ingredients.It's what you like, mushrooms, onion, avocado, cheese, then you have meat if you want: Bacon or sausage, maybe diced ham, you get the drift... Fun to do! Best of Luck!

Answer 6

it depends how much of every thing else you use if you use to much of the peppers just use that much more of the cheese and the hem
