One Omelette

They say that you must have breakfast like a prince, lunch like a king and dinner like a pauper.  I do like that saying.
To start the day, it is good to have breakfast, life can be so busy; however, it is no need for rushing.  Having a good lunch is a must, so it can last until dinner time without snacking.  I am always looking forward to dinner, the meal for the end of the day.  It has to be something special, at least time to spend with the family to catch up at the dinner table.

A light meal at dinner time and nutritious is not very hard.  Have an omelette, it is quick to prepare. I had this perfect omelette in France for lunch.  It was so good, served with a salad green dressed with creamy light mayonnaise.  I think you can have egg dishes at any time, it is suitable for breakfast, lunch and also for dinner

I remember vividly this is the omelette that I had at the Loire Valley.  It was cooked perfectly.

Omelette is Garnished with Salad Green, Dressed in Creamy Mayonnaise


One Omelette

2 eggs
1/2 tablespoon of butter
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Method
Saucepan size 20 cm
Beat the eggs lightly, season with freshly ground pepper
Heat the butter in the frying pan and add the eggs.  Cook over high heat.  Mix with a fork.
Shake the pan so that the omelette is evenly cooked.
Fold it over once and turn it upside down with one quick movement on to a warm dish
Garnish the omelette with a salad.

Cooking The Omelette



Perfect Cooked Omelette

It was not presented this way at the Loire Valley (Val de Loire).  I always have more salad, so I need the extra dressing on the plate.  It's a tasty omelette, soft in the middle and cooked evenly.



Two eggs per omelette to serve for one person, you need ten gram of butter only to cook it.
