Omelet Ingredients
- 3 fresh eggs
- 1 Tbsp milk for tenderness
- 1 pinch of salt
- 10g butter
- 60g mozzarella cheese
Salad Dressing Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 Tbsp cranberry sauce (chunky style recommended)
- 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 Tbsp minced onion
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 Tbsp cranberry sauce (chunky style recommended)
- 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 Tbsp minced onion
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by thoroughly washing your salad greens. Tear them into bite-sized pieces by hand and place them in a colander to drain excess water. While the greens are draining, prepare the dressing. Whisk together all the dressing ingredients: olive oil, balsamic vinegar, cranberry sauce (I found one with fruit pieces adds great texture), lemon juice for a bright finish, and minced onion for a subtle bite. The balsamic vinegar adds depth, while the lemon juice provides a refreshing acidity.
Step 2
In a clean bowl, crack 3 fresh eggs. Add 1 tablespoon of milk to achieve a wonderfully tender omelet. Gently whisk the eggs and milk together, being careful not to create too much foam. For an extra smooth texture, strain the egg mixture through a fine-mesh sieve.
Step 3
Add a pinch of salt to the strained egg mixture to season it lightly. This balances the richness of the eggs and the saltiness of the cheese.
Step 4
Melt 10g of butter in a non-stick skillet over low heat. Ensure the heat is kept low to prevent the butter from burning and to ensure the omelet cooks gently.
Step 5
Pour the egg mixture into the heated skillet. Using chopsticks or a fork, gently stir the eggs as if making scrambled eggs, encouraging them to gather in the center of the pan to form soft curds.
Step 6
Just as the eggs begin to set and form a cohesive mass, sprinkle the 60g of mozzarella cheese evenly over the center of the omelet. The cheese will start to melt and create a luscious filling.
Step 7
Gently tilt the pan and use your chopsticks to fold one half of the omelet over the cheese.
Step 8
Now, tilt the pan in the opposite direction and fold the other half of the omelet over, encasing the melted cheese. Use your chopsticks to help shape the omelet into a neat half-moon or oval.
Step 9
Continue this process, gently folding and shaping, until the omelet is almost fully formed, resembling a pouch. Use your chopsticks to gently tuck and seal the edges, creating a beautiful, plump shape. Flip the omelet briefly to ensure the other side is lightly cooked and set. Your fluffy cheese omelet is now ready!
Step 10
Arrange your stunning brunch spread around the star omelet. Lightly toast slices of bread in butter until golden brown and crisp. Cook bacon strips until they are slightly crispy. Place the prepared salad on the side, with the dressing in a small bowl. Adding a can of baked beans completes the impressive brunch visual!
Step 11
To enjoy, spread some jam on your toast, layer with crispy bacon, fresh salad, and the warm, cheesy omelet. The combination of the tender omelet, savory bacon, and crisp salad is simply divine! It’s a perfect balance of sweet, salty, and fresh flavors.
