START the day right with a good breakfast. That is what our mothers would always say. We all agree that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But we often ignore it. One of the reasons we skip breakfast is the lack of time. Preparing breakfast can be time-consuming for some. But there are recipes like this egg recipe that is as easy as 1-2-3.

One of our favorite egg recipes is the omelet or omelette. In his book, An A-Z of Food and Drink (2002), John Ayto writes that Randle Cotgrave first described the omelette as ‘”haumelette” or a pancake of eggs during the 17th century.

In this episode of What’s Cookin’? with AHA, chef Paul Samson demonstrates the proper way of cooking the famous omelette.

Here are the ingredients:
Salt
White pepper
5g white onion (minced)
5g green bell pepper (diced)
5g mushroom (sliced)
2 tbsp. Oil or butter
2 pcs. Whole eggs (beat then, set aside)

Procedure:
1. Heat the pan. Then, add the oil.
2. Heavily whisk the eggs.
3. Season with salt and white pepper.
4. Sauté green bell pepper, onion and mushrooms.
5. Add the beaten eggs.
6. Scrape the sides of the omelette.
7. Flip the omelette.
8. Fold into half.
9. Add spring onions and parsley for garnish.

Here’s a tip from the chef: Make sure to scrape the sides of the omelette consistently. This will prevent the browning in the omelette.
