Hello, chefs!

Last week, I showed you how to create La Noscean Toast in all its syrupy glory. This week, I vote we continue the breakfast trend and make a good ole fashioned omelette.

A Dodo Omelette, in fact.

As ever, I’m very disappointed that I can never seem to find anything except chicken eggs in my nearby grocery stores. I am quite fond of duck eggs and would have loved to make an omelette using them, but alas, it was not meant to be.

Omelettes themselves can be ever-so-slightly tricky just because they require flipping. There’s a process. I’ll note here that I am not a practiced omelette creator (I usually just scramble my eggs and be done with it) but I practiced a few times with this one so that I could get it right. I’ll say I’m reasonably pleased with the results.

However, keep in mind – as I’ve discussed in previous posts, an egg is just an egg. It’s going to taste the same regardless of what shape it is, and I encourage you to keep that in mind if you try to create an omelette and find that it’s just not your thing.

It’ll taste the same scrambled. It’ll taste the same fried, or sunny-side up. It’s still an egg.

I promise.

Go easy on yourself!

Fun fact: scrambled eggs and omelettes start the same way.

You just put some eggs in a bowl and you whisk – scramble – them. I always add a little milk to mine because I like the added creaminess.

With the milk, I also added dried parsley for flavor.

Alright, here’s where it starts to require a little more finesse. Pour the mixture into a preheated and pre-greased pan and just let it sit there for a minute. Don’t touch it. I repeat – DON’T TOUCH IT!

Once the eggs have had the chance to heat up on the bottom, then very carefully take a spatula and pull back the edges, tipping the pan so that the mixture on top (which is still wet) can drip down onto the pan.

It might take a few tries to get it right, but this is at least easier than trying to flip the darn thing.

At the top, you can see where I’ve pushed it back a little. Do this alllll the way around and let it cook a little longer. This would almost certainly be easier with a nonstick pan (which I do not use), so it may be easier for those of you who do use nonstick.

Once the egg is firm all over, very carefully slide the spatula under one side and flip it halfway over itself, so that it forms a sort of crescent shape. Voila! Omelette acquired! Per the in-game recipe, I added a bit of tomato sauce to mine after it was done cooking.

This was a really simple meal. It required very few ingredients and not much time, so it would make a great weekday breakfast. Certainly healthier than cereal! Next week, we’ll explore another egg dish, this time from Coerthas! Stay tuned and enjoy this recipe for a Dodo Omelette!

Dodo Omelette

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 2 Tbls milk
• 1/2 Tbls butter
• 1/2 tsp parsley flakes
• Salt to taste
• Tomato sauce to taste

Directions

Put butter in pan and turn on medium heat. Whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and parsley. Once the butter in the pan is melted, pour the egg mixture into the pan and let sit for a few moments, until the edges appear dry and can be gently lifted with a spatula. Circling the whole pan, lift edges and tilt pan to let remaining wet mixture drain to the bottom. Let sit for another moment, then scoop half up and flip it over onto the other half, so that it forms a crescent shape. Put desired amount of tomato sauce on top and enjoy!
