Best Stir Fry Stuffed Omelette Recipes

PERFECT OMELET

Steps:

• Beat the eggs: Soak 3 large eggs for 5 minutes in hot-not scalding-tap water. This will ensure that the omelet cooks faster, and the faster an omelet cooks, the more tender it's going to be. Crack the eggs into a small bowl or large bowl-shaped coffee mug. Season with a pinch of fine salt. Beat the eggs gently with a fork.
• TIP: I prefer a fork to a whisk for omelets because I don't want to work air into the eggs: Air bubbles are insulators and can slow down cooking if you're not careful.
• Heat the pan: Heat a 10-inch nonstick saute pan over medium to high heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon room-temperature unsalted butter. Once melted, spread the butter around the pan with a basting brush to ensure coverage.
• TIP: Heat your pan empty for a few minutes before adding the butter: Even a nonstick surface is pocked with microscopic pores that eggs can fill and grab hold of. Heat expands the metal, squeezing these openings shut.
• Add the eggs: Pour the eggs into the center of the pan and stir vigorously with a silicone spatula for 5 seconds. (Actually, it's not so much a matter of stirring with the spatula as holding the spatula relatively still and moving the pan around to stir the eggs.)
• Let them cook: As soon as curds begin to form (that's the stuff that looks like scrambled eggs), lift the pan and tilt it around until the excess liquid pours off the top of the curds and into the pan. Then use the spatula to shape the edge and make sure the omelet isn't sticking. Move the spatula around the edge of the egg mixture to help shape it into a round and loosen the edge. Then walk away. That's right-let that omelet sit unaccosted for 10 long seconds so it can develop a proper outer crust. Don't worry: Your patience will be rewarded.
• Finish the omelet: Time for the "jiggle" step: Simply shake the pan gently to make sure the omelet is indeed free of the pan. Lift up the far edge of the pan and snap it back toward you. Then use the spatula to fold over the one-third facing you.
• Change your grip on the pan handle from an overhand to an underhand and move to the plate, which you might want to lube with just a brief brushing of butter to make sure things don't bind up in transit. Slide the one-third farthest from you onto the plate and then ease the fold over. Imagine that you're making a tri-fold wallet out of eggs-because that's exactly what you're doing. And just ease the pan over. There, that wasn't so hard.

CRUSTLESS STIR-FRY QUICHE, OR SCRAMBLED OMELETTE

Steps:

• Chop the onion and ham into 1 cm squares.
• Separate the stem and leaves of the parsley, then chop each.
• Heat a stir-fry pan to medium-high, add oil.
• Cook the onion till it softens a bit. Don't caramelize it! Then add ham and the stem portion of the parsley. Stir for a minute or two.
• Add spinach, stir and cover. If the frying pan becomes too dry, add a little bit of milk.
• Meanwhile, use a fork to beat eggs in a medium bowl, then add the milk to the eggs. As you whisk the mixture, add salt and pepper (I don't usually measure by teaspoonfuls, so I'm not sure exactly how much I used -- use your best judgment). Put in the parsley leaves as well.
• When the spinach shrinks, reduce the heat to medium. Add the egg mixture, and mix evenly.
• Stir the bottom of the pan as the "quiche" cooks. When about half of the liquid is cooked, mix in cheese, reserving some for top.
• Cover and let the eggs steam in the pan. Don't be tempted to open the lid - or the top won't cook!
• Remove the quiche wholly, or scramble it and transfer to a pie dish. Top with cheese & enjoy =).
