How to make a Ham & Onion Omelet
Hi, I’m Leon and I’m gonna be making a ha, a ham and onion omelet today. The first thing you want to do before you make any food ever, is you wanna wash your hands, you don’t wanna have any bacteria on your hands before you start cooking. So let’s get going, first thing you wanna do is put a little bit of onion in a little pan, something along the line of this, just pour it on the bottom, make sure it coats the bottom of the pan, you want it, just swirl it around a little bit, then you wanna put the heat on just a little bit so that you can get the fla, so that you can get it warm. You wanna take an onion, and cut the onion in half. You wanna make sure that you get all the skin off the onion before you use it, so what are going to do, to do that is just make a little slit, and tear around the slit. If you take a little bit of an onion off while you go that’s absolutely fine. I actually started cooking, because I love knives, my ancestry is a german knife making. I was started cooking and then my mom was like, your ancestry is knife making, and I just thought, that was absolutely fascinating, and I started loving cooking even more. So you wanna cut this up finely, roughly, however you really like it, after that’s done, you just wanna take it, well first of all, you wanna make sure your oil is hot, you don’t really need to know, if you do wanna know, you can take a, just a little bit of onion, put it in there, if it sizzles around it, it should be just right. So you wanna take all your onion and put it in the pan. By doing this, we’re caramelizing the onions and as you caramelize them the sugars inside the onion is taking up the sugar, and bringing it out. So as that goes it should take, 5, 6, 7 minutes. but I have a finish product over here, once your done with it, you can throw a little bit of ham in there and that’s that, so now, what you want to do, is take a little bit of spray olive oil and coat the bottom of a larger skillet. Once you have that done, you wanna put this on a high flame. So now you wanna come over here and take 2 onions, you just crack them in a bowl, and add a little bit of milk, if you want you can add a little bit of salt, and then whisk, you wanna make sure that their thoroughly whisk, so that there’s nothing leftover, you just want it to be a little bit orange but no streaks in it. Once it’s around in orangish color with no clear spots in it, you wanna come over here, and see if your oil’s hot. If your oil’s hot, it should move around a little bit, but you also wanna make sure that when you put it in, when you put your eggs in here that they thoroughly get cooked. So you just gonna put a little bit of eggs in there and coat the bottom of the pan. Now, you wanna wait a little while so that all the eggs on the top get thoroughly coated and thoroughly cooked. Coz when you put your eggs, your onions and your ham into the omelet you don’t want the bottom of the omelet to break. So it should have a little bit of runniness to it, you don’t want too much. Then you’re gonna put this around one side, you don’t wanna coat the other side, coz when you flip it, you don’t want it to be on both sides and then come off, so, you just gonna spread that around a little bit and let it cook a little bit. Once it’s done, there, you just wanna make sure that it comes off smoothly around all sides. Then you can take the clear half and flip it over the egg, it should look something like that, and then, you wanna flip it over on to the other side, once it’s on to the other side, you just wanna let it cook a little bit so that the onions inside get cook a little bit thorough, a little bit more, and so that the onion gets cook a little bit more too. You don’t want the egg to be undercooked, so that when it’s cooked, you don’t get salmonella poisoning. Some eggs do carry salmonella poisoning, which can hurt you in the future. You get sick, because it’s a virus that some chickens carry, and when they lay the eggs, it gets put into the eggs. So now, you wanna take it off the flame and bring it over to your plate, just maybe shake it on there, and if its come, if it comes loose, great, whatever, still eggs, onion, and ham, and wala, done.
