I've been trying to make Harlock a damn omelette for over a year now and it always ends in scrambled omelette suprise. While tasty the SOS is no where near as awesome as an omelette.
Well, today I finally succeeded in my quest. I decided to use a small pan and grease the hell outta of it with butter. Lots and lots of butter. I beat the hell out of the eggs added salt, pepper, and parsley while mixing. I gently poured that mess into the pan and let it sit.
This is where Yoda's teaching come into play.
Patience! Patience! Let the eggs sit you must!
Cook they must.
A Jedi can wait for the eggs.
A Jedi will know
the time when the eggs
are ready.
I was a little worried and swore that I somehow messed the whole thing up. But, I persevered. I threw the ham, cheese, and onions in the center and let the eggs sit a few minutes more before attempting the FLIP!
It wasn't a pretty flip. It wasn't a clean flip. But I flipped it and it stayed together. Again I let the eggs sit well they were officially an omelette now, before gently so very very gently sliding the concoction onto a plate. I sprinkled some more parsley, added toast (I'm already a Master Toast Maker), and presented it to Harlock.
In the process, however, a very odd thing happened. I tasted the omelette. It's very important for chefs to do this; to taste their creations. While I tasted the ooey gooey omelette I found that I liked it, no no I loved it. I hate eggs though but this thing was delicious.
So I made myself one.
I added some paprika to mine but I put a little too much salt in it. The flip was not nearly as flawless as before but it didn't matter. It was still yummy. I even added some cinnamon sugar to my toast and hot sauce to the omelette.
While I deride your use of tabasco sauce and encourage you to jaunt down to your local asian grocery and get some huy fong sriracha / rooster sauce assuming you would like to experience Hot Egg Heaven, I am way into the whole paprika thing. Damn, paprika is some kind of a wonderful thing; they sell paprika chips ("crisps") in the UK and they're just the best.
ReplyDeleteI love rooster sauce. Just didn't have any. And those blimey bastards are geniuses for having paprika chips!
