Here are the ingredients and procedure in making Tuna Omelette:
INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 medium red bell pepper – top removed, deseeded, and diced
- 1/2 medium green bell pepper – top removed, deseeded, and diced
- oil – for cooking
- 1/2 5-ounce can tuna in spring water – drained
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 6 large eggs
- sea salt
- coarse ground black pepper
- chives – for topping (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Add a bit of oil in a small frying pan and sauté the red and green bell peppers on medium heat until they start to soften about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
- In a medium bowl, mix the bell peppers, tuna, and cream cheese together. Set aside.
- In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs together.
- Heat a bit of oil in an 8-inch (20-cm) nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat until hot. Gently swirl the oil around so it coats the pan. Pour in half the eggs.
- Wait about 30 seconds, until the eggs on the bottom of the pan start to set.
- Using a spatula, gently and very lightly disturb the cooked egg, creating small gaps where you can see the pan, for an uncooked egg to flow into.
- Do this about 4 times in various areas of the omelette, then allow the eggs to cook until you have a thin layer of liquid egg on top, about 30 seconds.
- Spoon on half the tuna mixture on half the egg. Gently lift one edge of the egg and fold it across and over, so you create a semi-circle.
- Gently hold the omelette closed with the spatula until the edges of the omelette cook together and seals it shut.
- You may push the omelette against the edge of the pan so the edges cook together.
- Cook for another minute or so. Flip the entire omelette over to cook for another minute.
- Gently transfer the finished omelette to a plate and garnish with chives, sea salt, and pepper. Serve immediately.
