Anyone on here gonna enter the red white and blue cooking contest? I'm considering it. The baking and cooking contests are always fun to do and the creativity people come up with is pretty amazing!!!
hmm, don't think I have any " patriotic" or color themed recipies. I'll have to browse the entries for some ideas, can you link it here?

Omelets were probably one of my first breakfasts I learned to cook after bacon and Eggs. Room temperature eggs whipped with about a tablespoon of room temperature water.... nonstick pan with a pat of butter in it.

Salt and pepper then cook till the bottom sets a little then start pushing the edges in and allow the juicy top to roll onto the pan... once its just about all set top with cheese and fold.

I never got the hang of rolling them out of the pan like in the video but I do slide them out. I like the egg set and the bottom a bit brown.

If I want other things like mushrooms and onions in the omlelet I wind up cooking them separately and placing them in a bowl for later Omelet assembly. I never considered cooking them then adding the eggs.

The dishes where you cook or steam the eggs in a container are intriguing. I love poached eggs but Suck royally at cooking them. Yep I put the vinegar in the pan in the right amounts to cause the albumen to draw up.... It works but I dont care for the taste it gives the egg. when I order them in a restaurant Most times they come in a little bowl along with so much water I have to Pour them onto a napkin before I put them on to my toast....

But in the little bowls I could season for each person.... even with a little cheese at the end...

But the french omelette the way he does it is so simple and light with hardly any oil or butter.. and the herbage.... I always thought cooking an omelette french style involved Cream and butter and whipped and folding it over just so and Hollindaise and fillings .....

I love Hollindaise but to be honest I have only ever made it myself using the Knorr prepackaged stuff..... Which is actually not bad... Like a Jack-in-the box taco tasty.... but not a taco in a real sense.



I understand you can do it in a blender but dont have one.
