My ideal comfort food. This does it all for me. Ingredients:
1 medium cooked potato, cut into large cubes (can be leftover boiled, baked or nuked) |
1/2 cup of grated cheese (i like a combo of cheddar/gouda/edam, but you can use just one kind) |
2 -3 eggs (depending on how hungry you are) |
1 tablespoon butter (or 1 tblsp olive oil) |
Directions:
1. Melt the butter in a frying pan.
2. When hot, add potato and cook until golden-brown and crusty on all sides.
3. Beat up eggs in a small bowl with very little salt (the cheese has plenty) and freshly ground pepper.
4. Lower heat of stove, add eggs to pan and give them a good stir, a couple of times, bringing up cooked eggs from bottom, but redistributing uncooked eggs and potatoes.
5. Sprinkle generously with shredded cheese.
6. Let cook until golden-brown on bottom.
7. Run spatula down center, and carefully fold one half over the other creating a half-moon (sometimes you don't get a perfect half-moon, but it still tastes good anyway!).
8. Turn off heat and let omelette sit in pan for 30 seconds to a minute (depending on how well you want your eggs done) and then carefully turn over and allow 30 more seconds.
9. Allow to cool about 4-5 minutes before tucking in (this seems to allow the flavours to blend better).
