i don't know about you, but i eat eggs regularly. they're a great source of protein, and, unlike most meat, they're low on fat, so i usually eat them as a second protein-rich meal of the day. p.s. a tip - the yolk is full of cholesterol. the white part isn't. i usually eat about one yolk for every 3 whites. the taste doesn't change much, but it's much healthier, and you get lots more proteins.

anyway: soft-boiled eggs and fried eggs are rather yolk-oriented, so i usually find myself making an omelette. there are two ways to eat an omelette:

  1. plain, with tons of ketchup. you say yuck now, but try it and then /msg me as to how great i am.
  2. with lots of stuff in them. usually vegetables. so i'll impart now this terrific omelette recipe i concocted yesterday:

ingredients
  • 6 eggs (of which two with yolks)
  • 1 zucchini
  • 1 onion
  • lots of mushrooms (fresh/canned)
  • 1 red (not chilli, just red) pepper (or yellow, just not green. green peppers are disgusting.
  • 1 tomato
  • lots of coriander, sliced up well
  • olive oil (it's also healthier, but you MUST use olive oil to bring out the coriander)
  • 1 thingumagig of garlic (what do you call it? not the whole garlic, just one piece), cut thinly or crushed. (Jinmyo updates: it is, indeed, a clove of garlic)
  • a couple of basil leaves
  • salt
  • pepper
preparation
cut the vegetables thin. put the olive oil in a pan, and heat it up. when it's hot enough, shove all the vegetables together in, except the garlic and coriander. add them in after about 2 minutes. mix until you see the onion and the zucchini browning a bit, and then add the eggs, which you did not forget to beat beforehand, and added the salt and pepper to (to taste). add the eggs over it all, bring to a smaller flame and wait until there's no more gooeiness in the eggs. flip it all over. (this is done by placing a large plate over the pan, turning it over, and sliding the omelette onto the plate). wait a couple of minutes and voila.
