coesillian 0 Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 straight up question, how many do you prefer to use? What about at a restaurant, would you prefer a different number than if you made it yourself? Link to post Share on other sites
coesillian 0 Posted August 4, 2007 Author Share Posted August 4, 2007 well this was supposed to be a poll with options 1, 2, 3 or >3. Link to post Share on other sites
Love4hockey 0 Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 I think most restaurants two eggs. Not totally sure though. That's how many I use when I make myself an omelet, but I don't have a big appetite. Link to post Share on other sites
Jargonator 0 Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 2,and make sure you put a little milk in with the eggs pre-whisking, to make them frothier... Link to post Share on other sites
coesillian 0 Posted August 4, 2007 Author Share Posted August 4, 2007 2,and make sure you put a little milk in with the eggs pre-whisking, to make them frothier...to late for milk, it"s in the pan as we speak. I would of used cream if anything but I prefer a more consistant mixture for the perfect fli, so no added liquid. Beer is also an option. Link to post Share on other sites
jethrodull 0 Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 just depends on how large the eggs are...if they are large and it's just for me, I use 3, if they are extra large, 2...also, try mixing with a bit of OJ instead of milkJ Link to post Share on other sites

BigDMcGee 3,367 Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Milk is certainly not necessary for an omelet. I go with 3 eggs personally. But I'm a big bear with a powerful hunger. Link to post Share on other sites

BigDMcGee 3,367 Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 all omlettes need two things, imo.. cheese ( chedder usually, but you can get sassy with it and use swiss or some other cheese) and mushrooms. Everything else is negotiable. Link to post Share on other sites

Actuary 3 Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 yum Wang.as far as number of eggs, I like 3.If you go with 2, use a small pan Link to post Share on other sites
BigDMcGee 3,367 Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 I agree throughly on the cream cheese.. I was first sold on it in a cheam cheese and salmon omellet sounds odd, I know, but tasty..my favorite omelet veggies? Broc. and spinach. Cream cheese is also delicious on pizza's.

yeffy 0 Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 OK gonna sound odd but trust me on this one. Skip the milk, skip the cream, try adding a few tbsp's of water to the eggs. Yes just water. You will then get the fluffiest most perfectestestest omellettament ever.Oh and it's sauteed onions and shrooms with smoked gouda FTMFW Link to post Share on other sites
coesillian 0 Posted August 5, 2007 Author Share Posted August 5, 2007 Ya i think 3 eggs rocks because you can fit more stuff in it.somewbody mentioned hash browns and I just realized I had some in my freezer that would have been perfect for th occasion.Tomorrow I'm going to a breakfast palce and going to test an omelette and report back. Restaurants omelettes tend to be the same old boring recipes, hopefully they 'll have something to impress me. Link to post Share on other sites
