I am told I am a great cook. I churn out exotic dishes. I have even tried decorating cakes and stuff but no matter how hard I try I just cannot make a perfect omelette. The problem is when I try to take it out it crumbles.
Eggs are my favourite. I use them in many of my dishes. My date and walnut cake which I bake mainly for Christmas has 4 eggs in it. And then there is that bread pudding. I just dump bread pieces but beat the eggs briskly. It is the eggs that holds my pudding together
Have you tried making salads with boiled eggs? That salad is ideal for breakfast. Boiled eggs with sliced tomatoes and sliced boiled beetroot and the usual dressing is a great fast breaker.
I coat my cutlets with the beaten egg just to hold the cutlet together.
Now coming to the main problem I am facing it is that of the omelette I try to make. I am using the right ingredients I know for sure – chopped onions, chopped green chilies, I even add a dash of scraped coconut and all this is added to the well beaten egg with salt to taste ofcourse. I heat the non stick pan, put some oil in it and pour the stuff. It spreads well but when I take it out it crumbles – a great disappointment.
Even when I try to fry an egg with sunny side up I cannot remove it. The yellow breaks . I am perfect with boiled eggs and even poached I poach them sometimes with water and occasionally with milk.
I am fine with the French Toast. The bread turns out golden brown which is dipped in a mixture of well beaten egg, nutmeg, milk and sugar.

I love eggs in every way. I do not burden myself if a dish fails me well. Importantly, the dish is delicious ?
That is what is called art of living?
I try eggs in different ways. I don’t worry if the egg does not look perfect all the time as long as the colours balance out.
I know even a crumbled fried egg or omelette will taste good but while serving I would want them to be in one piece?
I like only boil eggs, not omlet.
I love eggs in all kinds of ways. I created my own egg pancakes. I got the idea from the Chinese dish egg foo yong. So what I do is depending on how many pancakes I am making say I take four eggs and break fhem in a dish. I had salt and pepper and spices and mix. Then I add chopped ham or veggies or whatever I have on hand even shredded cheese. I mix it all up and then heat up a non-stick pan. I take a tablespoon of the mixture and place it on the pan. Fry one side and the other and I have one pancake and then I do the rest.
Is it not the same as an omelette? The ingredients show that it will be a yummy treat
These are little egg pancakes fried a tablespoonful at a time.
Easy to flip or toss I suppose (lol)
Stop it, Sandra! You’re making my tummy growl and it’s 2 am.
Sorry about that Andre but do try to make these they are quick and easy and delicious.
I love eggs cooked in certain ways only …
I don’t really like hard boiled ones … (unless their yolk are runny)
half boiled eggs are my favourite…
I hardly succeed in making eggs tho… lol
they either break or shattered :p
I have bought a non stick pan specially for eggs and hope to do a better job with fried eggs and omelettes.
Okay, when they come out wrong, just toss them my way. Lol.
I am no good at tossing!!
I haven’t cooked anything for while now. But I remember I tried to make mushroom and cheese omelet several times before… well… I did not get them right.
But with fried eggs… doing it on a low flame will make it right. 😀
My problem is to take it out intact?
I love eggs too. Unfortunately, I’ve never been very good at making omelette. Well, it tastes alright, but never looks perfect! There’s so much you can do with eggs.
We are all learning which is an endless process?
I love eggs in every way possible, dear friend … I even bake my omelette
Never heard anyone baking omelettes. That is interesting Must try.
Just takes practice I believe. Mine are not perfect but they come out fine. The fried egg seems easier to allow it to slide while turning over, not breaking.
Someone in myLot suggested that one should place the beaten egg first and then spread the other items over it. Will try and see.
I can cook the omelet but the expert in the house is my husband!!?
I am finding men excelling these days ?
I love eggs in any form…
Same here. They come in handy to cook if there is nothing else in the pantry?
Do you overcook the eggs in the omelette? That might cause it to crumble.
More than the egg I wait for what goes in there to cook, such as chopped onions
I recently bought a small skillet for frying egg.
fold not flip!!!!
I have a special omelet pan. The rule I learned many years ago. Never cook anything in the omelet pan but eggs.
That said, it is not easy to fold the omelet and slide it onto the plate. It took me many tries when I was in college (I was a cook at a restaurant).
I too have a non stick pan only for fish and eggs. I think folding is easier than flipping it. I will try it that way next time. Thanks for the tip and coming from a male is quite embarrassing
?
why is it embarrassing? I am the primary cook in my house!
In India it is not so; anyway the best cooks are men ?
i understand that the best cook I know is my mother or my grandmother in the US it used to always be the way it is ni India.
