Yolk Only Cheese Omelets

• 

After making angel food cake, I was left with 10 egg yolks I needed to use. After only seeing recipes for desserts, I figured I would share what I did with my yolks, and that was make Omelets. I used a technique similar to the Japanese way of making omelets. You simply pour a thin layer of egg mixture into your greased pan and let it cook until the bottom is firm and the inside is only slightly wet. At that point, add your fillings of choice, fold in half, cook on one side, flip cook on the other, and serve. Once you fold you don’t need to cook any further since the carry over heat will cook the inside, but eggs are less safe in America than in other countries, so I like to make sure the egg is fully cooked. I then served with ketchup. This recipe made 4 mini omelets, enough for 1 adult.

What You Will Need

• 10 Egg Yolks
• 1/2 cup Milk
• Pinch of Salt and Pepper
• Butter, for Cooking
• Large Bowl and Whisk
• Small Non-Stick Frying Pan
• 2 Slices of Cheese, Halved
• Ketchup to Serve

Directions

1. Begin heating frying pan over medium heat. In the large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and salt and pepper until eggs are fully mixed with the milk. Add 1/2 Tbsp butter to the frying pan and coat the pan. Heat should be low enough not to cause the butter to brown. If it does reduce heat to medium low and remove from heat until pan cools.

2. Add about 1/4 of the egg mixture to your buttered pan. Move pan to evenly coat and distribute the egg mixture. Let cook for 1 minute. Add your cheese to half the omelet, then fold the other half of the omelet over the cheese. Let cook for 30 seconds, flip and let the second side cook for 30 seconds, then plate to serve. Butter pan and repeat step until finished.
