Over easy egg omelet.

[Mosca]

Have you ever thought, “Hmmm. How do I want my eggs this morning?” Maybe you’re standing in front of the refrigerator with the door open, or maybe the eggs are out on the counter and the coffee is brewing and you’re looking at them half awake but you didn’t accidentally break a yolk which would force your decision, or maybe you’re sitting in a diner and trying to decide between an omelet or a standard breakfast, and if you choose the standard breakfast do you want scrambled, or over easy, or what? IT’S TOO EARLY TO MAKE UP MY MIND. TOO MUCH PRESSURE.

Right. Me, too. So here we are.

What the hell, Mosca?

Actually the truth is that it’s the absolute stupidest thing I could think of. I thought about hard boiled egg omelet, but decided that probably wouldn’t taste good. If it’s going to be really stupid, it still has to taste good. Here we go.

It’s a beautiful early autumn morning here in Mountain Top, about 50° or so but the air is still. I have to clean that griddle. Maybe later today. Maybe not, though. Could go either way.




I have a decision to make on the peppers.



I’ve had my eye on that red serrano, though. I’ve been hitting the habaneros pretty hard. I’ll take the red serrano and the green serrano, please!

The playaz, aka mise en place. A nice piece of kielbasa from The Polish Connection. I also have a block of caramelized onion cheddar. You knew I’d have something like that. It’s a good melting cheese.




“But Mosca, why are the eggs in separate bowls?” Good question! Things start moving really fast from here on out. Faster than it takes to read this garbage. So bear with me.

Get the kielbasa and the peppers started. Then start a fried egg.




Flip that egg, then start an omelet on the other side.




Take that over easy egg and put it right in the middle of the omelet. Extra points if you don’t break the yolk, but one of the beautiful things is that you’re rolling it all up anyhow, so who cares.




Top with cheese (not pictured, things move fast and I didn’t want to overcook the fried egg) and roll it up like a burrito.




Order up!




And this is what I was looking for, this is the fever dream I had when this idiotic thought of “You could always make a fried egg omelet, if you wanted to,” shot through my head: those bites of beautiful omelet and rich yolky goodness. Believe me, it’s worth it.

[Jerod Broussard]

Nice. I mostly have my mind made up pre-fridge door, mostly.

I laughed at the following the other day:
Me: I'm making an omelet today
**flips omelet**
Me: I'm making scrambled eggs today.

[Duanessmokedmeats]

I just skip that and go directly to scramble eggs.

[Richard Chrz]

Right!

[Santamarina]

Don’t flip the omelet. 😎

[Jfrosty27]

Man! I love it!! Dude, you ARE the Breakfast King!!!!!!!!!!

This looks great Tom.

My imagination went in a different direction at the title though.

What about two fried eggs, over easy, with the usual toppings, wrapped in a thin layer of cheese for the break-open moment of goodness?

I’d imagine you’d have to cook the cheese on top of a burrito wrap to create the shell, place the fried eggs and toppings on top of the cheese shell, wrap, then remove the burrito shell without destroying the integrity of the omelette.

Cheese selection would be important but I’d imagine your multiple cheese drawers could find one that works. You’d need one that maybe goes crispy yet would still be melty enough to cut through for the egg explosion.

Naw, you could just frico the cheese right on the nonstick surface. I do it every few months or so. Shred the cheese, melt it in the pan, then break the eggs on top and cover them. It’s pretty awesome.

[STEbbq]

That sounds delicious. What cheese works best for that?

[Mosca]

Any good melting cheese. That’s Colby Jack in the photo. Stick with Jack, mild/medium cheddar, etc. Swiss and aged cheddars are too dry.

[shify]

This also works with feta instead of a melting cheese. You don't get a frico but its so good.

Or as a continuation on the over easy eggs on stuff - put down a layer of chile crisp on the pan and crack the eggs right on top of it.

Pure unadulterated genius!

Goo goo gajoob, n’ ‘at!

Whoever your cardiologist is I want him. I made a Mc Muffin in this morning and thought I was going all out.

[Mosca]

Strange as it might seem, my numbers are the best they’ve ever been. But I only eat 2 meals a day, and walk 5 miles in 90 minutes every other day to balance this stuff out. (That plus all the pills, I mean.)

[captainlee]

We walk and hike consistently too, I know that helps. I've had friends with trash guts or constant candy eaters and all is fine. Everybody's body is different.

I can relate to standing in the kitchen trying to figure out what to fix...

My sister and I used rent a place together. She always got a kick when I would stand in the kitchen with an onion in my hand and try to figure out what would go good with the onion.

Onion is its own food group in my kitchen...

[Murdy]

Onions: my favorite vegetable.

Ordered it.

When I searched for it on Amazon, a second book with the same title by Wilbur Avery (says he's a chef) also came up that looked like it might be interesting.

Over easy inside an omelette has just blown my mind. I will be trying this soon. Thank you!!

[Mosca]

Or how about an egg white omelet, filled with unbroken egg yolks and cheese? Just a thought.

[Mosca]

Or, beat the egg yolks and cheese together to fill the egg white omelet.

See, this is how I think about it. I get the idea, and then it sits, and I think about it more, and I think of ways to make it stupider and stupider, and when I think I’ve hit rock bottom, I get out the pots and pans.
