Bacon Cheese Rolled Omelet: A Hearty Meal in Itself
Loaded with Bacon and Cheese! A Bacon Cheese Rolled Omelet Recipe Perfect for a Satisfying Meal
This bacon cheese rolled omelet features bacon nestled within the layers of egg, creating a wonderfully rich flavor. While the generous filling might make rolling a bit challenging, the taste is guaranteed to be delicious, regardless of its appearance! It’s substantial enough to be enjoyed as a full meal, much like an omelet, rather than just a side dish.
Ingredients- 1/2 Onion (finely minced)
- 1/2 Green part of Scallion (finely chopped)
- 4 Fresh Eggs
- 1/2 tsp Herb Salt
- 70g Bacon (finely chopped)
- 70g Pizza Cheese
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the onion and scallion that will add tenderness and aroma. In a bowl, combine 1/2 of a finely minced onion and the finely chopped green parts of 1/2 a scallion. These will enhance the texture and flavor.
Step 2
Next, let’s make the egg mixture. Crack 4 fresh eggs into the bowl with the vegetables. Add 1/2 teaspoon of herb salt for a subtle seasoning. Whisk the eggs gently with a fork or whisk, ensuring the yolks and whites are well combined. Be careful not to over-whisk, as this can lead to a tougher texture. A gentle mix is best.
Step 3
Now, let’s prepare the star filling! In a separate bowl, combine 70g of pizza cheese and 70g of chopped bacon. Pour about 4 tablespoons of the prepared egg mixture over the cheese and bacon. Gently mix them together so they start to clump up slightly. This helps bind the filling ingredients together, making them easier to roll inside the omelet.
Step 4
It’s time to start rolling the omelet! Heat a non-stick or specialized tamagoyaki pan over low heat. Lightly coat the pan with a thin layer of cooking oil using a paper towel; this prevents sticking and ensures a smooth roll. Pour a thin layer of the egg mixture to cover the bottom of the pan. Once the edges begin to set and lift slightly from the pan, carefully start rolling it up from one side using chopsticks or a spatula. Move the rolled omelet to one side of the pan. Pour another thin layer of egg mixture into the empty space in the pan.
Step 5
Lay the prepared bacon and cheese filling evenly over the newly poured egg layer. Once the edges of this new egg layer start to set, roll it up again, incorporating the filling. Repeat this process of pouring egg mixture, adding the filling, and rolling several times. Continue this until you achieve a thick, substantial rolled omelet. Don’t worry if the shape isn’t perfect at first; the layers will create a beautiful effect. Once it’s thick enough, continue to cook, turning gently to brown all sides evenly for a delicious finish.
