You’ve probably had all the usual types of breakfast eggs — like scrambled eggs, fried eggs, and hard-boiled eggs — but what about egg noodles with tomato sauce, Japanese egg rolls, Eggs Benedict with spinach and hollandaise sauce, or even an omelet waffle? There’s a first time for everything, so here’s how to easily prepare these egg-straordinary dishes!
1. Egg Noodles
You’ll Need:
- 2 eggs, whisked
- pasta sauce, grated parmesan cheese & fresh chopped basil to garnish
Here’s How:
1.1 Pour the whisked eggs into a lightly greased pan over medium heat. Cover the pan with a lid and let the eggs cook.
1.2 Remove the thin omelet from the pan and let it cool. Roll the omelet up and cut it into thin strips.
1.3 Unroll the egg noodles and garnish with pasta sauce, grated parmesan cheese, and fresh chopped basil.
2. Tamagoyaki — Japanese Omelet Roll
You’ll Need:
- 3 eggs
- salt & pepper to taste
- 3 tbsp carrots, diced
- 3 tbsp green bell pepper, diced
Here’s How:
2.1 Heat some oil in a pan over medium heat. Beat the eggs with salt and pepper and add the carrots and peppers. Pour ⅓ of the mixture into the warm pan and let it cook.
2.2 Roll about half of the cooked omelet up and move it to the edge of the pan. Pour another ⅓ of the egg mixture into the pan so that it overlaps on the end of the cooked omelet.
2.3 Continue to roll up the omelet as soon as the egg mixture cooks. Finally, pour the remaining ⅓ of the egg mixture into the pan so that it overlaps on the end of the cooked omelet.
2.4 Remove the rolled omelet from the pan and let it cool. Cut the omelet roll into slices and serve with ketchup or the sauce of your choice.
