Roughcut Cactus And Egg Omelet Recipes

SUPER FLUFFY OMELET RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Separate the egg whites and the egg yolks in two separate bowls. You'll only need 3 yolks, so discard the other 2 or reserve for another use.
• Whisk the egg yolks until they become homogenous and pale in color. Set aside.
• Transfer the egg whites to a large bowl and whisk until they triple in size and become white with medium peaks.
• Carefully fold the egg yolks into the egg whites until fully incorporated.
• Pour the egg mixture into a medium nonstick frying pan with a lid. Cook over medium-low heat until bottom of omelet has set, about 5 minutes.
• Lift up each side of the omelette and drop a tablespoon of butter underneath.
• Cover the pan and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the top of the omelet has set.
• Remove the lid and season the omelet with salt and pepper. Remove the pan from the heat.
• Fold the omelette onto a plate and sprinkle with chives.
• Enjoy!

CACTUS OMELET

Steps:

• 1. Cut the cactus strips into 1/4-inch dice and set aside. In a medium nonstick skillet, heat the oil and cook the onion until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the jalapeño and reserved diced cactus. Season with salt and pepper. Reserve in the pan off heat. 2. In a large (12-inch) nonstick skillet, melt the butter until it sizzles. Swirl the pan to distribute the butter. Pour in the beaten eggs. Cook about 30 seconds, then use a fork to lift and push the edges of the eggs toward the center, tipping the pan to allow the uncooked eggs to run to the edges and under the cooked eggs. Cook until the surface is nearly set, about 3 minutes. 3. Spoon the cactus filling over half of the eggs. Add the cheese. Using a large spatula, fold in half and cook about 30 seconds, or to desired doneness. Invert onto a plate, cut into quarters, and serve at once.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes."

PERFECT OMELETS

Steps:

• Have a serving plate ready. In a medium bowl, whisk eggs until frothy. Season with salt and pepper; whisk in scallions and/or herbs, if using.
• Heat butter in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high, tilting to coat pan; after foaming subsides, whisk eggs again, and add to skillet.
• Cook, stirring quickly with a heatproof rubber spatula, until eggs begin to thicken, about 30 seconds. With spatula, pull edges of omelet in toward center, tilting pan so uncooked eggs flow to edges of pan and underneath omelet. Cook until just set but still loose, 15 to 30 seconds (omelet will continue to cook once removed from heat).
• Sprinkle with filling. Using spatula, loosen omelet from skillet on all sides; shake pan to ensure it is completely released. Tilt pan toward serving plate; with spatula, working from side of skillet that's tilted up, fold 1/3 of omelet over the center.
• Simultaneously slide and roll omelet onto plate so that it folds over on itself again and lands seam side down. Brush or dab lightly with butter; serve immediately.
