Breakfast

I love eggs but sometimes I lose my appetite for them right while in the middle of eating them. Usually it's my own fault through either under cooking them or worse, over cooking them. It's hard to explain, but suffice to say that cooking eggs is an art. This time I got it right, so i'm attempting to document it here. I started by sauteeing some green pepper and scallion over medium high heat. Salt and pepper this mixture using butter as the lubricant, about 1 tablespoon. Once peppers start to look tender,crank up heat to high. Wait a minute or so to get that pan super hot. Pour beaten eggs on top of the mixture. After about 5-10 seconds you have to mix the whole thing together just as if you were going to make scrambled eggs. The eggs cook quickly, so you have to work quickly. Once it starts to solidify stop mixing and turn down the heat to medium. I might even take it off the heat briefly just to try and control the cooking process. Use a spatula to push it together from the sides. Now bring it back to the heat. As soon as it looks like the eggs can handle it, I added some Jarlsberg (cheese) and folded it over to a half moon. If you are using two eggs, the omelet should be done. However, the omelet pictured above is a four egg behemoth. Two reasons for this. One, I probably have a big breakfast once a month so I wanna make it memorable. Two, my dog will bark at me if I dont give her some. So this is what I did. I took the pan off the heat and left the pan on the stove for about five minutes. It continued to cook in the pan while it was off the heat. It ended up perfect. Now the trick will be in trying to replicate the process next time.
