The Quickie Omelette Brekkie

September 4, 2007 at 12:37 am · Filed under breakfast

I woke up earlier than usual today so I thought, what better way to use up the time than to make myself a quick breakfast. Eggs are synonymous with the quickie brekkie, but instead of the usual sunny-side-up or scrambled treatment, I made myself an omelette roll. In these days where convenience reigns supreme, we seem to be rolling everything, pita bread rolls, sushi rolls, sausage rolls, spring rolls, swiss rolls - so I thought I’d jump on the rolling bandwagon and add omelettes to the list.

I saw an episode on Ready Steady Cook where the chef makes an Asian-style omelette by swirling the egg continuously on the wok. I tried imitating her movements but the egg didn’t quite swirl around the curving edges as shown on TV. In any case, I managed to get myself a flat piece of omelette, on whose centre I placed some leftover coral lettuce and rolled it up nicely. On top of the omelette I put a dollop of pesto, just to see if pesto goes with egg. It doesn’t.

My judgement? It was very refreshing to have omelettes as a roll. Now all I have to do is think of a way to make the omelettes sturdy enough to be able to eat it on the go, like all the great modern rolls of our time.
