The Nation’s Favorite: A Perfect Cheesy Rolled Omelet Recipe
Eggs are a staple in every refrigerator! Here’s a simple and delicious rolled omelet recipe using eggs. It’s a great way to use up those eggs and create a satisfying dish.
Ingredients- 4 large eggs
- 1.5 Tbsp finely chopped green onions
- 10g finely diced carrot
- 1 slice cheddar cheese
- A little cooking oil
- 10g finely diced onion
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, crack the 4 eggs into a bowl. Remove the chalazae (the white stringy bits) and whisk them gently with a fork or whisk until well combined. It’s important to mix the egg mixture evenly without any lumps. Add the finely chopped carrot and onion to the egg mixture. Including vegetables adds color and boosts the nutritional value.
Step 2
Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat and lightly coat it with cooking oil. Be careful not to use too much oil, as it can cause the omelet to burn or become greasy. Pour the beaten egg mixture into the pan and gently swirl the pan to spread it out into a thin, even layer. If the egg layer is too thick, it will take longer to cook and be difficult to roll.
Step 3
Once the bottom of the egg layer starts to set, carefully place the slice of cheddar cheese on top. The melting cheese will add a savory flavor to the rolled omelet.
Step 4
Now it’s time to start rolling! Using a spatula or chopsticks, carefully roll the bottom (front) edge of the omelet over the cheese. Start by making a tight roll. It might feel a bit tricky at first, but take your time to shape it.
Step 5
Observe the cooking progress of the egg. Once rolled, push the rolled portion to one side of the pan. Then, pour a little more egg mixture into the empty space in the pan. Gently lift the rolled part and fold it over the fresh egg mixture, allowing it to cook together. This technique helps create a thicker and more substantial omelet.
Step 6
When the newly added egg mixture is partially cooked, pick up the already rolled portion and roll it again, incorporating the fresh egg mixture. Repeat this process 2-3 times until all the egg mixture is used up, forming a delicious-looking rolled omelet. As you layer and roll, gently rotate the pan to maintain a nice round shape.
Step 7
Once fully rolled, move the omelet to one side of the pan and cook for a few more seconds to firm up its shape. Let it cool slightly. Cutting it while it’s too hot can cause it to fall apart, so allowing it to cool a bit will help maintain its shape when sliced.
Step 8
After it has cooled slightly, slice the rolled omelet into your desired thickness, typically about 1.5cm to 2cm is good for eating. Arrange the sliced omelet neatly on a serving plate. Your beautiful cheesy rolled omelet is ready! It’s delicious served warm or cold.
