How do you know if you're really stone bonkingly tired? For me, the answer is that I become easily obsessed with unimportant things. With the work for law school mounting up each week and the minor influence of sleep deprivation, my unconscious mind seems to have tuned itself to the task of producing the perfect omelette.
The fluffy style with the whipped egg whites folded into the yolks is no problem. What I'm trying to work out is how to produce a non-rubbery, still 'scramble-eggy' style masterpiece. With practice, it is getting better. This Monday's was actually enjoyable rather than just edible.
K's non-stick Le Creuset pan is a good piece of kit. Start on the hob then flash it under the grill. It works. And yet, I'm not satisfied with what I'm making. It's only a B- at best.
Deep down I suppose that (at least on an unconscious level) that my making an A+ omelette will mean that everything in the world will be right and my life fulfilled. Who knows.
Should the primo ommlette ever be produced then I will be sure to update you on the more existential side of the equation.
use a crepe pan - that's what ya need to do the french/crepe style omelette...
Most people cook 'em for too long and not hot enough. Should still be a bit runny in the middle. It'll harden up a bit by the time you eat it.
Things can get a bit muddled in the melting pot of life. Have you considered taking it back to basics? Perhaps a poached egg?
You can't beat a pickled egg
No, it's too solid.
