Over Easy Omelet?

July 23, 2014|Richard Nikoley||

Yep. Indeed.

Omelet with a warm, runny yolk

Take three eggs, separate the yolk from one, beat the other two plus the white. Make an omelet. When it’s ready to fold, gently place your yolk in and just as gently, fold it over.

So there you go.

    Two eggs whisked with salt & pepper, stir in blazing hot pan with butter ghee for 20 secs. Done and done.

    I heard about something like this, but this is the first documented evidence, great technique on the omelette

    btw Richard – I really appreciate you showing how to make the over easy eggs with the crispy bottom, that is a great one

    Thanks for this awesome recipe Richard. So simple it makes you wonder why you never thought of it.

    I love yolks and have heard its better for your health to eat them less cooked, but have gotten really tired of fried eggs.

    Been making these every morning for the last 4 days, even made my brother one and he said it was the best omelet he’s ever had. I agree.

    […] love this completely whacky creation, an “Over-Easy Omelet,” in honor of warm, runny egg-yolk lovers […]
