Ingredients
Yield: Omelets can be shared or made to order. For each individual omelet, we suggest the following:
- 2-4 eggs, depending on pan size
- 2-4 Tablespoons of milk or water
- Salt and pepper, as you like
- Pats of unsalted butter for the pan
- About 1/2 cup of filling ingredients
Filling ideas—for a total of about 1/2 cup of total ingredients:
- Fully cooked Canoe Wild Rice
- Fresh tomatoes and greens, like spinach or baby kale
- Sautéd onions, celery, mushrooms, and peppers
- Fully cooked ham or other protein of choice, finely chopped
- Chopped parsley or other herbs
- Salt and pepper to taste; a sprinkle of crushed red pepper for some spice
- Shredded cheese for the top, if desired
Directions
- Have all fillings selected and prepped accordingly (veggies sautéd, wild rice fully cooked, etc.)
- Lightly beat eggs, milk or water, and salt and pepper with a fork or whisk until blended
- Heat a medium sized pan or skillet and melt a pat of butter to evenly coat the surface
- Pour the egg mixture into the hot pan and allow edges to set
- Begin pushing cooked egg from the outside edges into the center with a spatula or turner, then tilt the pan slightly to re-coat the hot pan with uncooked egg mixture
- Continue this process until the top of the egg is completely set
- When the top is completely and evenly set, spoon prepared filling onto one half of the egg
- Fold omelet in half and slide onto your serving plate, garnishing with any cheese or other desired toppings
- Serve hot; repeat from the beginning for the next person’s omelet
Enjoy!
