SAUSAGE CARROT & ONION STUFFED OMELETTE


Breakfast has always been the best part of starting my morning. Lets get a bit theoretical about omelettes a bit as I gather ingredients for today's omelette. As you know an omelette is usually made from beaten eggs fried with oil or butter without stirring like its usually done with scrambled eggs. The omelette is commonly folded around fillings like mushrooms, cheese, ham, chives, bacon or vegetables. Sometimes you can have a combination of two or more of the ingredients. Some interesting omelettes include the Nargesu an Iranian omelette made with spinach and fried onions spiced with salt, garlic and pepper. Egg foo yung/oystee omelette is a Chinese omelette. Tamagoyaki is a traditional  Japanese omelette where eggs are beaten with mirin, bonito flakes, soy sauce, water and sugar. So many ways to cook the omelette and I have just started, I must say I still don't have a favourite, yet. Let's get cooking loves!
