Sandwiched

I like to fold mine. Also it looks bit overcooked, I like mine bit more 'runny', that looks kinda dry.
What did you put on it?

Good had 1 yesterday golden corral

how many eggs did you use, did you put any milk in it? also is that spinach?

nah it came out perfectly, at least for my tastes, not runny at all. its firm and holding everything in place. I dont know if you can tell but it is folded into the sandwich. you should know whats in it just by looking at the first picture.

3 eggs, and discarded 3 yolks.
so 1 yolk, and 4 egg whites

Normally I add some milk this time I forgot.

I sauteed the onions bell peppers and spinach in coconut oil for 10 minutes before entering everything into the egg after the bottom layer had formed..

after a few minutes on the stove, I throw the pan into the oven at 500 degrees for about 4 minutes

>cook it until it's hard
>still call it an omelet
That's really more of a frittata you trollop.

Overcooked but still a 9/10

By the fold I mean, you put the fillings in when it's still pretty runny on top but solid in bottom and you fold it so that once the egg is cooked, it will be a pouch that holds all the fillings inside.
The image is bit poor quality so I'm not sure.
Is that spincah, tomatoes and onion?
And the edges really look it dry, but I guess that's just preference.
I usually add some turkish yougurt instead of milk to mine. Also garlic with omelette is a must.

I think it looks great. Good pics too.

I like my eggs a little on the well done side and this looKs perfect. Just before it browns.

Just curious, tell me about the oven step, I've never done that. The whole thing doesn't look thick enough to survive much more than

> a few minutes

with extra heat in the oven.

so, after you have the bottom layer solidified on the stove, I like to cook the eggs on medium heat so it doesn't cook too fast.

SO once the sauteed vegetables are soft and to my liking, i start dumping them in, the heat from the vegetables starts to cook the top layer of egg, I give it maybe one more minute on medium heat on the stove, and then throw it into the oven at 500 degrees (broil) (preheated)

really all it needs is 3 minutes, just peek into the stove and you'll know from the browning when its to your liking.

Also a key step is not to forget to spray a generous amount of PAM to the pan so that when its all done it will not stick to the pan.

some people suggest mixing a bit of milk into the egg mix if you like it fluffier.

God do I hate PAM.

That's a fritatta, not an omelet.

I look at it as a "stupid tax" for people who can't figure out that it's nothing other than vegetable oil in a spray can at 5x the price such oil normally would be.

I just don't like the weird taste PAM gives things. I swear I can taste the can in it any time someone uses PAM.

The inside look too cooked for my tastes.

I like a little bit runny insides, kinda like french style.

Pretending your fritatta is an omelet doesn't make your frittata an omelet, skippy.

American omelettes are descended from savoy-style omelettes. Savoy-style omelettes are often mistaken for frittate, even in Italy. The difference is: properly, frittate are, as their name implies, fried only ('frittata' is cognate with 'fritta,' which means 'fried'). Savoy omelettes are fried only enough for the bottom to brown, then finished in a warm oven.
In America, often the opposite is true. Frittate are believed to be finished in ovens and omelettes fried only. What OP has is a very good looking savoyard omelette.

>What is 'convenience' you colossal faggot

>waaaah I can't pour olive oil and need a fucking spray can because I'm an uncoordinated giraffe.

>>4410425
You should do an infomercial. You can be a dude who can't get the cap off the olive oil and ends up burning down his kitchen because of it.
