Equipment

  • Non-stick Pan

Ingredients

  • 5 Eggs
  • Scallions
  • Carrots
  • Onion Optional
  • Mozarella or String Cheese Optional
  • Vegetable or Canola Oil For frying

Instructions

  • Mix the eggs in a bowl, season with salt and pepper, and set aside.
  • Chop the vegetables in very small pieces then add to the egg and mix thoroughly.
  • In low heat, warm up your pan. The pan should feel hot when you put your hand close to it.
  • Put oil in the pan, and using a brush or paper towel, wipe the oil on all the edges.
  • Put a thin layer of the egg mixture in the pan and let the bottom set.
  • Optional: Add string cheese in the middle before rolling.
  • Unstick the edges of the cooked egg, then lift one side, and start rolling it. Roll until there is a small remaining flap of the egg.
  • Pull the egg back to the other edge of the pan, then put oil in the free space.
  • Add another thin layer of egg, making sure the new layer sticks to the small flap of the rolled omelette.
  • Once the new layer has set, start rolling again. Continue until desired thickness is achieved.
  • Once done, let it sit in the pan to cook a little more.
  • Transfer to a plate, slice to desired thickness, and enjoy in different ways!
