Essential Ingredients
- 1-2 boiled potatoes (cooked until fluffy and cooled)
- 2 fresh eggs
- 3 Tbsp canned corn (drained)
- 3 Tbsp dried baby shrimp (adjust quantity to taste)
- 2 slices cheddar cheese (thinly julienned or finely chopped)
- 2 slices gouda cheese (thinly julienned or finely chopped)
- A pinch of dried parsley for an elegant aroma
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, slice the pre-boiled potatoes into about 0.5cm thick pieces. It’s important to cut them to a suitable thickness so they don’t fall apart. Next, crack the 2 fresh eggs into a bowl. Gently whisk them with a fork or whisk until smooth, avoiding too much foam. Once the eggs are well beaten, add the drained canned corn and savory dried baby shrimp. Mix everything together thoroughly until well combined. This completes the preparation of the rich filling for your omelet.
Step 2
Now, it’s time to cook the omelet! Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add enough olive oil to coat the entire surface. Swirl the pan to distribute the oil evenly. Once the pan is sufficiently hot, carefully pour half of the prepared egg mixture into the pan, spreading it out. Arrange the sliced potatoes evenly over the egg layer. Then, gently pour the remaining egg mixture over the potatoes. Cover the pan with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 7-8 minutes until the omelet is set. Cooking on low heat ensures the egg cooks through without burning. When one side is cooked, carefully flip the omelet using a spatula. After flipping, sprinkle the thinly julienned cheddar and gouda cheeses evenly over the omelet. Cover again and cook on low heat for another 1-2 minutes, just until the cheese melts. The melting cheese will enhance the omelet’s flavor.
Step 3
Your delicious Cheesy Potato Omelet is ready! Carefully remove the omelet from the pan and let it cool slightly on a plate before slicing. If you cut it immediately, the cheese might ooze out. Letting it cool a bit will help it hold its shape nicely when cut into your desired serving size. Arrange the sliced omelet attractively on a plate. Finally, sprinkle a pinch of dried parsley over the finished omelet for an appealing presentation and a fragrant finish. Enjoy this wonderful Cheesy Potato Omelet for a hearty and delicious meal!
