french chorizo omelette |
Omelette is one of those things that everybody should be able to nail it's a super simple kitchen task and it's really a lot easier than most people think so I'm gonna break it down for you today and show you how easy it really is you can make an omelette with pretty much any filling but today I'm going to be using chorizo.
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- Chorizo
- Cheese
- Salt
Directions
sometimes the chorizo has this
sort of film on it and you just want to
get rid of that otherwise it's gonna end
up in your food and it's not gonna be
tasty so just cut it in half and then
with the night just go down the side of
this and remove that outer film and I want to make this sorriso
pretty small and bite-size I don't want
a big chunk of sheer ezel in my omelet I
want something nice and tiny and crispy.
I'm gonna cut it into little
bite-sized pieces, you want something like this where
it's nice and tiny little pieces you
don't want a big chunk this reason all
right so the cheresa is cut up nice and
fine now we need to saute it so get a
pan this is an 8 inch saute pan this is
perfect for making omelets and you don't
want something super huge obviously and
you don't want something super small
where the eggs are just gonna sort of be
on top of each other you want something
that's a pretty good diameter 8 inches
is pretty fine.
while the pan is
heating up we're gonna crack some eggs
ideally for an omelet 3 eggs is what you
want so get the pan nice and hot and add
a little bit of oil and then we're gonna
add in this reason over as the chorizo
cooks make sure the season it with some
salt,
so now we're gonna at the eggs
ready so 3 eggs
we're gonna season up a little bit of
salt combine that
all right so this reason was pretty much
done now we're just gonna add a couple
knobs of butter so when you're making an
omelet the rubber spatula like this is
essential and then add your eggs in and
you want to turn the heat down at this
point a little bit as soon as the eggs
hit the pan start to scramble them you
want to cook the eggs nice and slow and
gently keep stirring it until it comes
together like this/
then you can just
sort of spread it out with the back of
the spatula
turn the heat off okay so now we have
this sort of egg base it's a little bit
creamy in the middle and that's exactly
what you want so now we have this base
and now we're just gonna roll it on to
itself so start on one end and just lift
it slightly and just let it fold over
onto itself like this okay
so fold it over onto itself like this
and then turn it out onto the plate.
this is how you make a traditional
French rolled omelet with chorizo if you
wanted to you could add cheese to it you
could add herbs to it yeah whatever you
want and just by touching it you can see
how soft it is it's not rubbery and when
you kind of side to it you can see it's
nice and creamy stuff see that's what
you want something nice delicious creamy
and let's try it out.
that is how it almost supposed
to taste what are you gonna omelette at
a diner it's always tough it's always
overcooked it's always rubbery you want
something nice and soft and delicate and
creamy and that is how you make a
perfect omelette, thank you guys.
