This particular post goes out to my wonderful friends and readers who know their way around a kitchen…
*cough* That means you, Lemmonex *cough*
I would like to get some suggestions or tips on proper ways to prepare omelettes. I can make an omlette that tastes so good, it’ll make you wanna slap your momma. Only problem is, that thing will look so ugly, you’ll want to slap me for serving it to you.
I never did master the art of making a pretty omlette like the ones you see in decent resturants. My omlettes always end up looking like they were prepared in a cave over an open fire by Al-Qaeda extremists on the run. They look nothing like gourmet dining experiences. They more closely resemble basic survival food. As if your thought process has to be “Ok, I can eat this omlette that Leon made for me, or I can kill Leon, throw him on the grill and resort to cannibalism. Damn, this is a tough one…”
So readers, if you have any tips to help me from being stuck cooking oh-so delicious omelettes that look like medical photos of livers from people who drank themselves to death, feel free to share them. That said, I’m about to go get lunch. Hopefully, whatever I’m about to buy will look more like real food than my breakfast did this morning!
There are several simple things u can do improve your omlette swagger skills… first make sure your skillet is large enough and same goes with your flipping device. Also use a non stick pan not those cheap dollar store skillets its not going to work also make sure your skillet is the right temp. make sure its hot but not too hot , first thing i do is the water test which is sprinkling a litte water in the hot pan if it disappers you are good to go. once it has cooked a little it should starts to bubble sort of like pan cakes then in a fw minutes it should be almost fully cooked but still kind of gooey, then slowly fold it over then flip. Or you could just do like time pressed people do and buy an omelette pan and avoid all this drama! :)
AKA is right…non stick pan and, also, butter it/spray it. A big mistake people make it over stuffing it…too much cheese/veggies/meat makes it impossible not to wreck it. If you still cannot get flipping down, try a fritatta.

**DEAD** if you’ll pardon the pun
Hey, someone’s got to prepare the set food for Osama…
If you don’t mind the carcinogens, you can also make the perfect omelet in a bag.
Neat science project, but I would eat that! The toxins released from the heat of that ziploc bag–ugh!
Omelets are easy. I worked in food service for a really long time. I’ve been everything from a bar back to a restaurant manager. You actually want to use a small pan for them. Get whatever you plan to toss in it ready. Then beat your eggs in a bowl. Add the beat eggs to a hot buttered pan and right after add in mix-in. Mix it all quickly a couple times. Then just pull the sides away and let th e top off the eggs run over. 2-3x’s then leave it alone. for a couple minutes. It will be almost done when you flip it. It will be a very pretty omelett
Hey Leon.
Found your blog on the Black Web Log Awards. Funny Post. I’ll be doing some serious catch up funny for the rest. And yes. I took my stankin ass over and voted for your blog.

Thanks for your vote, and for taking the time to check out more entries @ Get Togetha
@ Marriedtoit, Lemmonex and AKAdemicz, I definitely plan on using the advice that you all gave me. Thanks :)
@Wonderlove, Bin Laden HAS to be eating better than that! You can’t stay on the run as long as he has, eating sh*tty cave food. He would have gotten tired and gave up by now if that were the case…
@ Anonymousnupe, my body has already conquered The Gout. Cancer ain’t f*cking with me! My immune system would steal cancer’s lunch money, then send it back home with steak over it’s right eye! Still…I’m hesitant to try that ziplock omelette.
Good luck! That’s one breakfast dish I can not make to save my life!
LMAO…my body has already conquered The Gout. Cancer ain’t f*cking with me!…
you kill me!!
@ Trina, I’m probably the only person on Earth with balls big enough to talk sh*t to a terminal disease!
@ MissJay, thank you. Also, thanks for letting me know that I’m not alone in my omelette plight!
You should post pictures of your omelette…just curious to see what it looks like…
Pictures of his “Omelette,” Wonderlove? Is that what he’s callin’ it these days?
Ok, I can eat this omlette that Leon made for me, or I can kill Leon, throw him on the grill and resort to cannibalism. Damn, this is a tough one…”
