Souffle Cheese Omelette (French)

On a Weekend, when you get up around 10 or 11 in the morning, and your husband takes his favourite couch to watch what's in the idiot box....he humbly asks you....Darling! Whats for breakfast? You just go mad entering to the same old kitchen not deciding what to make? Well...The above situation arises every weekend at my place. And I go for the same old quick toasts and omelette. Now you all must be thinking, whats so special about the ordinary omelette recipe? We all know how to make that!! Friends, I will just add an "Extra Cheesy" to that ordinary recipe.

This is a "Souffle Cheese Omellette" recipe. Same old omelette made with a slight variation. "Souffle" in French means "to puff up" and cheese means "Calories"... :) Well, one wouldn't mind adding some C into their diet during weekends. We can carry forward those to Mondays...Can't we?? ;) Its Eggilicious!!

Serves: 2

Ingredients:
  • 4 Eggs
  • 1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese (Optional)
  • 1 tbsp Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 1 Ordinary square Cheese slice (The one which we put on sandwiches)
You can actually put any kind of cheese you want. I always use the above 3.
  • 1/2 cup snipped chives (If not available, substitute with chopped coriander leaves)
  • 10 gm Butter
  • salt and pepper for seasoning

Method:

1) Break the eggs and separate the whites and the yolks in two different bowls. Beat the yolks well with a fork and season well with salt and pepper.
2) Now beat the egg whites with a whisk or an electric beater until it forms a good foamy like texture. It would look like a soapy lather.
3) Now, put a non stick fry pan on gas and melt the butter.
4) Meanwhile, pour the yolks into the white foam along with parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese, the chives/coriander leaves and mix everything together but gently.
5) Pour 1/2 of the the mixture into the fry pan and leave it on low heat for a minute.
6) Now put the square cheese slice exactly on the middle of the omelette and gently fold the omelette it into half. Leave it for 30 sec. Flip the omelette so that the other half also cooks. You can switch off the gas, when you know that the omelette is fully done.
7) Repeat the process for the other half of the egg mixture. Serve with crisp toasts spread with butter!! And Yeah,...Spread the love too! :)

Hundred Thousand Dollar worth Rava Upma (Indian Semolina Polenta)

Now you must be thinking, who doesn't know to make Rava Upma? What is so special about it? Every 5th person residing in India knows to make it and is a common breakfast item in almost all the Indian household. We Indians take this dish for granted. Well up until a week back, even I thought the same about this dish and looked down on Rava Upma. Not anymore. Last week I read a news about an Indian born, New York Chef Floyd Cardoz who won the top prize of £100,000 in an American show called "Top Chef Masters". No prize for guessing, he made RAVA UPMA!! After reading the article, I immediately decided that the recipe of a basic version of Upma must be on my blog. And here I am sharing the if not a "million dollar", then atleast a "hundred thousand dollar worth Upma Recipe". :) Upma is a popular South Indian Breakfast dish, mainly prepared by Semolina. It has a great resemblance with the Italian Polenta. It can be made with many variations by adding vegeta...

Dahi Vada / Thayir Vada (Lentil fritters soaked in chilled spiced yoghurt)

The name "Dahi Vada" itself makes my mouth drool. The soft, spongy vadas immersed in a chilled spicy, creamy yoghurt just melts in your mouth like an ice-cream. It looks oo like an ice-cream...Kind of Chocolate sauce drizzled over large Vanilla Ice-cream scoops. YUM!! There is so much going on, in a single bite that your taste buds will have an explosion of sweetness, saltiness, spiciness, all at the same time but yet you will be able to tell, what taste is coming from where. For my blogger friends who are not from India, let me tell you what exactly Dahi Vada is. "Dahi" means yoghurt in Hindi & "Vada" is the lentil fritters. These fritters are deep fried & then soaked in a spiced chilled yoghurt & then topped with a sweet chutney or sauce. This is one of the popular accompaniment or a delicacy prepared in an Indian cuisine. Both North & the South Indians prepare this dish but with a slight variation. Some like the yoghurt mo...

Light Lunch - Vegetable Soup

My last few days at Chesterfield, home alone, cherishing all the happy memories of the last 4 years. Spent whole day flipping through the photographs with a hot mug of Coffee relaxing on my recliner. I was in no mood to cook but then getting hungry is human, so I had to visit my kitchen to see what could be made. I decided to go light today so made use of all the remaining veggies (to clear off the fridge) to make a healthy Vegetable Soup. I finished off making a warm, healthy, filling soup for my lunch just within half an hour & went back to my couch only to get more lazy. Sometimes its good when you do nothing at all!! ;) Ingredients: 1/2 of medium cauliflower (cut into florets) 2 medium carrots (peeled & finely diced) 1 cup of fresh or frozen peas 1 medium potato (finely diced) 1 medium onion (finely chopped) 2-3 cloves of garlic (crushed) 25 gm butter salt & pepper to season Method: Melt the butter in a pressure cooker. Now add the crushed garlic & the chopped ...
