I would be the first to admit that I am not really crazy about breakfast. I don't wake up hungry. It is usually lunchtime before I start to feel the desire to eat anything. However, my husband loves breakfast and traditional breakfast food. As often as not, he will either eat breakfast with Merlin or I will sit at the table with him and nibble on toast with coffee.
The egg muffins we made with the egg poacher were so delicious that I decided breakfast might be something I could enjoy, especially since they are so easy to make. The promise of a homemade omelet was enticing. Omelets are something I usually only eat when we travel. Some of the hotels were we have stayed had chefs that made them to order and I always enjoyed them, but never really got into making them at home. Now, with the Nordic Ware Omelet Maker, that has changed and we can have easy to make homemade omelets with ingredients that we individually prefer.
Breakfast, here I come!
How to Make Omelets with the Nordic Ware Omelet Maker
It is fun to assemble an omelet made with ingredients you love. I prefer adding ham and cheese to mine, while my husband adds vegetables to his. Since we each have our own omelet maker, we assemble them separately while spending time together in the kitchen.
My first attempt to make a ham and cheese omelet turned out to be
the best omelet I have ever eaten. By following the
instructions that came with the omelet maker, my eggs were perfectly cooked
and the cheese was completely melted. I used 2 eggs for my
omelet.
My husband added ham, mini sweet peppers and fresh parsley to his omelet. He used 4 eggs to make his omelet, therefore his took a few minutes longer to cook. He also buttered his omelet pan before he started. I did not butter mine and I could not tell a difference when sliding the cooked omelets from the pans. However, as the pans age and go through many washes, butter may be necessary.
Here are the Cooking Instructions
Nordic Ware Microwave Omelet Pan Cooker, Set of 2Check Price-
Lightly beat 2-4 eggs and 2 Tbsp of water or milk -
We beat our eggs in a measuring cup and we both opted for milk.
-
Pour mixture into omelet pan, dividing equally between the 2 sides
- The measuring cup made equal division easy!
- Place open pan in microwave and cook for 1 to 2 minutes - I cooked my 2 eggs for 1 minute and my husband cooked his 4 eggs for 2 minutes
-
Remove the omelet maker from the microwave and stir the eggs from the
outside to inside
-
the center was still liquid and the edges were firmly cooked so the
firm section was blended with the liquid section.
-
Place desired toppings on each half - we also seasoned our eggs with salt and pepper
-
Cook until eggs are set; 60-90 seconds - I cooked my 2 eggs for 60 seconds & my husbands 4 egg omelet had
to be cooked approximately 2 minutes
- Remove from the microwave and fold pan in half so the 2 side form the whole omelet.
-
Open the pan and gently slide your cooked omelet onto the serving
plate.
These microwave pans are dishwasher safe on the top rack and I did initially wash ours in the dishwasher. However, in the future, I will most often hand wash them to ensure a longer life. Being able to put them in the dishwasher does make them more convenient to use!
