Butter Cheese Omelette

Creamy, soft and fragrant omelette recipe by Jamie Oliver.  A great dish to cook for breakfast or back to school's lunch for kids :)

Ingredients :

2 eggs ( lightly beaten with a dash of black pepper and a pinch of salt )

1 slice cheddar cheese

1/2 tbsp butter

1/2 tbsp olive oil

Method :

Preheat non stick wok with olive oil. ( butter won't get burnt easily with olive oil )

Add in butter.

( medium low fire )

Once butter has melted, add in eggs.

Bring eggs into the middle ( about 30 seconds )

( like cooking scrambled eggs )

Then add in cheese. ( any type of cheese will do )

Let it cook on low heat for about 40 seconds.

Go round the edges of pan with a spatula to dislodge the omelette and then flap it half.

Dish up and serve it on bread or rice.

Simple Egg Salad Sandwich

Hubby is in outstation and princess went to stay with her grandparents for a week, leaving me and prince at home. 

Cooked rice for prince but I don't feel like having rice today. So, made egg salad sandwich for myself. A very simple yet yummy sandwich. :))

Ingredients :

4 large hard boiled eggs 

2 tbsp mayo

1 tbsp mustard sauce

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

sandwich bread

lettuce leaves

Method :

Bring eggs with water and a dash of rice vinegar in a small pot to boil. ( medium heat )

Let it simmer for 10 minutes. Then off heat.

Remove eggs from pot and set aside for eggs to cool.

Peel off egg shells and mash the hard boiled eggs with a fork.

Add in mayo, mustard sauce, salt and black pepper. Mix well.

Spread egg salad onto a slice of bread.

Top with lettuce leaves and place another slice of bread on top of lettuce leaves.

Or......

Just spread egg salad onto lettuce leaves. My favourite, yum yum.

Bitter Gourd And Eggs Omelette

Bitter gourd is generally said to effectively clears our body heatiness, but besides that it has excellent medicinal virtues too.

It improves the conditions of people with diabetes, piles, constipation, blood disorders, respiratory disorders, alcoholism, cholera, etc.

But, do not consume more than 2 bitter gourds a day. It can cause mild abdominal pain and diarrhoea. And excessive consumption can result to preterm labor for pregnant women.

I like to cook bitter gourd this way because it won't taste bitter and not so oily compared to cooking it with meat. :)

Ingredients :

1 medium size bitter gourd

4 large eggs 

1/3 tsp salt

1/3 tsp white pepper

oil for frying

Method :

Cut bitter gourd into thin slices

Squeeze out the bitter juice from it in water mixed with 1 tsp salt

Ready to cook

4 eggs lightly beaten with 1/3 tsp salt and 1/3 tsp pepper

Preheat 2 tbsp oil in a wok and saute bitter gourd for 2 minutes

Remove and transfer it into the eggs mixture

Discard away bittergourd juices in the wok and preheat another 2 tbsp oil

Return the bitter gourd and eggs mixture into wok

Fry till the bottom side has turn brown

Then flip to other side to brown

Dish up and serve hot
