The omelette is a jolly dish that appeals to adults and children and lends itself to a thousand reinterpretations. Here are 10 possible ways to cook it and … eat it
If you have many guests for dinner and want to surprise them with something unusual, prepare an omelette for the second. It is generally considered a poor dish, but we want to ennoble it with different ingredients than usual and new combinations.
No great difficulty except to be able to turn it without breaking it.
In this regard, we advise you to cook it in the oven if you want to be sure that it is beautiful to serve. Choose a round baking dish, cover it with parchment-dampened baking paper and pour the mixture inside. It should be cooked at 180 ° for about 15-20 minutes.
The consistency will be slightly less soft and more spongy, but the taste remains the same.
Before attempting to prepare these recipes, we suggest that you set the amount of eggs per person.
Calculate two eggs each or even one if the eggs are very large.
If you want a fairly high omelette choose a small and large frying pan. Do not make the mistake of cooking the omelette in a pan that is too large because the result would be rather a crepe.
For all this info, however, we refer you to the guide on the perfect cooking of the omelette.
For the rest, let your imagination run wild.
Here then10 omelettes that you must try
1 – Mint and pine nut omelette
A fresh and fragrant recipe perfect for the summer. It should be served warm, almost cold. Just add diced goat ricotta, chopped mint leaves and toasted pine nuts to the beaten eggs.
2 – Greek omelette
We called it that because inside it has the typical Greek cheese, feta. It is prepared by mixing the egg feta with crumbled feta and basil leaves and thinly sliced onion with the mandolin. It can be served with a salad of cherry tomatoes and black olives.
3 – Omelette with potatoes and mozzarella
A recipe that children love very much. Just mix in the egg mixture some thin slices of boiled potatoes, cubes of mozzarella and chopped parsley with a knife.
4 – Salmon omelette
A somewhat sophisticated recipe that you can bring to the table as finger food. It is prepared by mixing the eggs with the smoked smoked salmon, the dill and the chives. You can accompany it with sour cream and boiled potatoes.
5 – Raw vegetable omelette
Instead of cooking all the vegetables before pouring them into the eggs, we cut them into small pieces and cook them directly in the omelette. Then add a courgette, a chopped carrot and half onion with the egg mixture and then all the aromatic herbs you prefer, such as parsley, mint and basil.
6 – Omelette and speck omelette
A dish not too light, but very greedy. Just add to the eggs some speck in strips or cubes and coarsely crumbled zola.
7 – American omelette
We called it that because like everything that comes from the States it is rich and abundant. It is prepared by sautéing the sausage cut into pieces, pancetta, champignon mushrooms and peas in a pan. When the sauce is cold, add the mozzarella cubes, small spinach leaves and halved cherry tomatoes to the eggs. If you want, you can also add canned corn.
The three recipes that follow are sweet and therefore you have to add a few tablespoons of sugar to the egg mixture. They should be cooked in a pan with a knob of butter instead of oil.
8 – Omelette with blueberries and maple syrup
This recipe is very reminiscent of American pancakes. It is prepared by mixing fresh blueberries with eggs and served with a generous amount of maple syrup, or if you prefer honey.
9 – Omelette with apples
An omelette that is very reminiscent of the Kaiserschmarren, a typical dessert of the South Tyrolean tradition. We prepare it simply by adding to the egg mixture lightly caramelized apples in a pan with raisins, cinnamon, lemon zest and a little butter and sprinkle with rum. It is served with vanilla ice cream and a sprinkling of cinnamon.
10 – Omelette with ricotta and macaroons
A rich and delicious dessert, perfect to serve with whipped cream next to it. It is prepared by adding ricotta, white chocolate drops and crumbled macaroons to the beaten eggs.
