Fullerene Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 It is all about the pan - the pan - the pan. I have had good omelettes and bad omelettes, I have made good omelette and bad omelettes. it is all about the pan. A super hot pan is essential - or the whole thing sticks. Put the butter or oil in the mix - not in the pan. Not that I always remember - hence more bad omelette days to come. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stonedsailor Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 (edited) I'm a big fan of the tortilla, or Spanish omelette if you will.Have to agree with that. A favourite of mine is the "fry up tortilla"Black pudding, diced lorne, thickly sliced link, diced boiled potato and mushroom spread evenly over the bottom of the pan. Beat eggs with a little salt and pepper then pour over. When almost set slide it on to a plate and return to pan uncooked side down for a couple of minutes. Flip it another couple times. Fantastic.

supermik Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Lidl's do a nice potato and bacon tortilla. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonedsailor Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Aye, I have had the lidl tortillas they are acceptable if feeling lazy. They are so easy to make though and far more satisfying knowing you produced it yourself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Jo Jo Junior Shabadoo Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Another vote for the Tortilla Espanol. I stick chorizo, potato, onion, red pepper, chilli and spinach in mine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosser-fae-the-shire Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Another vote for the Tortilla Espanol. I stick chorizo, potato, onion, red pepper, chilli and spinach in mine. Can mind going to magaluf when I was about 20 and they brought out a Spanish Omelette with the previous night's leftover chips in it. Didn't eat it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milton75 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 I treated myself to the tortilla sandwich referenced in the other thread. There were left over boiled potatoes from last night (Jersey Royals are on special deals everywhere, and I'm weak and stupid), so I had potato, onion and mushroom in it. My three favourite omelette ingredients. Was tempted to put spinach in too, but held back. Made a vinaigrette for my tomato abd red onion salad. I like it garlicky, so a big fat clove got mushed up and whisked with salt, pepper, dijon, some extra virgin and sherry vinegar. Had some lovely wee tomatoes, so that was good. I let the tortilla go lukewarm then made the sandwich. There were no really good baguettes, so I bought an olive loaf. Spread mayonnaise on it, then inserted slabs of tortilla, then shoved in salad. Dripped in extra dressing for added mess when eating. Came in my pants twice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
