Eggs for Breakfast!

Hard Boiled Eggs

So, Saturday morning with a kitchen full of Thanksgiving leftovers and NOTHING to eat for breakfast. So what do I do when there is nothing fun around to cook? Go straight to the eggs. You can do so much with an egg for breakfast, scramble, make an omelet, sunny side up, poach, hard boiled, soft boiled, over easy, there are over 100 ways to cook an egg. 

Poached Eggs

 Scrambled Eggs

My personal favorites are a nice omelet with a little shredded mozzarella and a poached egg on toast. This morning I decided to make both. One for me and one for my mother. Now let me tell you, I have really mastered eggs especially poached and omelets, considering I make them almost every week. 

For my one egg two egg whites omelet with mozzarella...

(optional egg white if you dont want that you can add however many eggs you want making it a full egg omelet or adding just plain egg whites and no yolk making it a plain egg white omelet)

1. take three eggs crack one into a bowl, separate the other two leaving just the whites so you get two egg whites and one full egg 
2. whisk them together make sure they are fully blended 
3. put some butter and any seasoning (salt, pepper ect.) in a pan over med-high heat and let it melt while spreading the butter 
4. once the butter is all melted add the egg to the pan moving the pan so the egg spreads onto the entire pan covering the bottom completely 
5. let it sit then take a rubber spatula and lift the edges while moving the pan so the uncooked egg can spill under the sides 
6. once all the uncooked egg is cooked and you cant move anymore of it when you move the pan its time to flip!
7. for me I like to just flip the egg with the pan but I'm a little more experienced, I started out using a spatula to flip the omelet just like a pancake
8. after flipping just let it sit and cook for a little 
9. then its time to flip again only your are flipping the omelet in half this time 
10. after you have flipped it in half its time to add the cheese or whatever topping you desire (I personally like my omelets with mozzarella and spinach but I didnt have any spinach today) 
11. take the topping(s) that you have chosen and add them to half of the now folded omelet 
12. the take your spatula and cover the toppings with the side of the omelet that doesnt have any toppings on it 
13. take the cover of the pan (or if u dont have that just use a plate, anything that can cover the pan) and turn the heat down to low. This allows the cheese and all the toppings melt together 
14. allow this to sit for about 20 seconds 
15. take the cover off and flip the omelet to the other side and cover again and allow to sit for another 20 seconds 
16. uncover
17. with the spatula place the omelet onto a plate, maybe toast a piece of bread, poor some orange juice, grab a fork and ENJOY
