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! :)

3 Ingredients / 3 Minute Microwave PEDAS

It's Celebration time all the way!! Why? Because My FB fan page has just reached 150 "Likes" & am so thrilled. Also, the festivities will start from August in India. First coming up is "Raksha Bandhan", the festival which celebrates the relationship & bond of a Brother & Sister. So I thought of coming up with an easy to make Indian Sweet Dish, "Peda". A "Peda" is a North Indian Milk Sweet mainly consisting of Khoa (thickened whole milk), sugar & other Indian flavourings like saffron & cardamom seeds. Pedas are usually made during festivities or for offerings made in the temple for deities. This recipe is a simple process of the same "time consuming" Pedas where the Milk is kept on the heat for hours to make khoa & then goes to the next process. This is the first time for me as well & I have taken this recipe from "showmethecurry.com" the cookery website of Hetal & Anuja. And I must say

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

Paneer Couscous Salad

Last two weeks were so hectic for me that I didn't find time to even open my blog page. Lots of friends coming home, cooking, eating junk, visiting places, our famous festival "Vishu" came up  & finally I ended up getting sick. I am still in bed but was so frustrated doing nothing that I thought let me post one of my healthy salad recipes which I had promised earlier. I saw this salad recipe in one of the BBC cookery shows & was quiet eager to make it. The original recipe suggests the use of Halloumi instead of Paneer. Halloumi is a type of Greek cheese made of mostly Goat's milk. It has the same texture of that as Paneer, hence I used Paneer. Must say, It was quite filling and delicious, perfect for a Summer afternoon. Ingredients: 200 gm couscous 200 ml hot vegetable stock / hot chicken stock 400 g can chickpeas (drained and rinsed) 1 tbsp olive oil 1/2 courgette/zucchini (sliced) 200 gm paneer (Indian Cottage Cheese), cut 1 inch length wise 2 medi
