Uncle Robert's step by step guide to make the perfect cheese omelet:I should explain this first...several years ago, my Grandma Abblitt started telling me a story about how the Abblitt's taught her how to "poach" an egg. While sharing this story, Grandma got out the frying pan, poured in the milk, added the egg and began to poach the egg as she had been instructed many years ago.
I was so entrenched in this story (I love hearing family stories that explain why or how people do things) that I documented on film the step by step "poaching" method that was happening before my eyes. I need to do some research and find those pictures to add to this post...but, that will be for another day.
So, Uncle Rob asked to make an omelet for me....to which I gratefully accepted! And, in that simple question, it reminded me of when Grandma (Rob's Mother) made eggs for me. I found it only fitting to get another Abblitt "egg story" documented for the history books (or, blog).
And, here it is...
Grate the cheese:
Crack the eggs into the bowl:
Pour the eggs onto the skillet:
Spread the eggs over the entire skillet:
Add the previously grated cheese:
Fold into thirds:
Presentation:
AND, thought I should do my part and
demonstrate the eating of the perfect omelet!
