The Accidental Omelette / Breakthru

[Dr. Who]

I don't put milk in omelets or scrambled eggs. I abhor wet eggs.

Just melt real butter in the skillet and put the eggs in. For omelets, I typically beat three eggs together (slightly), and then pour them in the skillet with the melted butter. As the edges cook, lift them slightly and tip the skillet so the liquid eggs run underneath. Flip before they're completely set and then put the fillings on. I will typically cover the skillet at this point to melt the cheeses. Then, just fold and you're good to go.

For the best scrambled eggs, separate the eggs and melt butter in the skillet, about 1.5 tsp. per egg. Pour in the egg whites and fold them as they cook. When they're nearly set, pour in the yolks and fold them together. Also, a little salt while cooking helps fluff up the whites.

But, don't ever add milk to eggs. That's just gross.

I never add milk either - it just makes them really bland. I make omelets much like you do. I make scrambled eggs differently. I mix the eggs well in a bowl while the pan (with butter) heats to about medium, then I toss in the eggs and turn the heat right down to minimum. As the eggs start to congeal around the edge of the pan, I move them toward the center. The uncooked eggs move into the space left by the cooked eggs. Keep moving the eggs slowly until they are all just cooked but still shiny (no liquid nor should they be separating into clumps) and turn off the heat. (If using an electric range, take them off the burner entirely). Perfect scrambled eggs, every time.

I may have to meet you down there sometime. Ive been thinking about a trip to the Gulf Coast / Biloxi aka the "Redneck Riviera !

Lol. I thought dat was da Coonass Riviera!
Lots of Cajuns spend time there. Especially when they bore of the Indians scalping them at their local casinos.

Man , it's been decades since I've been to Biloxi, gulf shores, orange beach.
Rumor has it that I was conceived there.

Not sure if they had any conception about the way I would turn out.

My mother, who was otherwise a very good cook, made terrible scrambled eggs - you know the dry clumpy type that you had to chase all over your plate and the reason why I started dumping ketchup on eggs. However, the worst scrambled eggs I ever ate was at a friend's lake cottage. He had one of those commercial milk shake machines and he would put the eggs and milk in the milkshake cup and turn on the machine, which would double the volume of the egg mixture. When cooked, those eggs not only had no flavor whatsoever, they practically floated off the plate. It was like eating nothing at all. The ketchup I dumped on them had more substance!

I whisk mine in a bowl till just combined. Then , depending on whether I'm making omelet of scrambled, I cut one can(7) Vienna sausages into thirds and drop them in.

Tonnerre et e'clair! Mai's C'est si bon, ouais!

I've never eaten Vienna sausages - they look like tiny hot dogs. What do they taste like?

[countryboy]

That's good. I usually screw up omelets. They become scrambled.

That's why I usually don't bother with omelets. Three eggs, a good amount of pace medium picante sauce, a little water, whip it up real good in a bowl, and scramble. Throw a little grated sharp cheddar on top after you plate it up, and it's as good as any omelet you'll ever have. Okay, maybe not any omelette.

Very cheap hotdogs.

Like hot dogs. Lol
Sometimes I use hot dogs. S'all good.

The bomb is some crumbled bacon or better yet some real cracklins cut small or cracklin crumbs.

[HawkTheSlayer]

Very cheap hotdogs.

Actually, hot dogs are cheaper. I study this stuff, fa real! Lololol
What used to be a 5oz can of v sausage is now 4.6 oz. You just as well buy the cheapest you can find because they are all packed at Pinnacle(Armour) food plant number usda 4247 and all taste the same. Except Libbys v sausage which is owned by con agra.

The cheapest v sausage is great value at 48 cents can. 2 cans = 9.2 oz for 96 cents.

I can buy hot dogs on sale almost anytime 69-79 cents for a 12 oz, pack.
