Potato and Cheese Omelette

Very gasgas na the line "a way to a man's heart is through his stomach". I think for married ladies, it has to be "a key to a lasting marriage is cooking his eggs creatively". Oh, relax lang. As in pagkain ito mga mothers ha. Hihi.

My soldier is not that pihikan but he if he has a choice, he chooses talaga. Like, he'd rather have simple fried tilapia than sweet & sour tilapia. Or he dips fried talong in soy sauce with calamansi instead of in bagoong alamang. And he loves dishes that are smothered with butter and/or cheese. 

Recently, he was home to have his Physical Fitness Test for promotion. He was in a sort of diet that he made for himself. Unfortunately, I was not prepared for it. Buti na lang, I have grocery basics in the fridge. I cooked Potato and Cheese Omelette for lunch. You see, I love breakfast food any time of the day. Kaya nga I told him na we should try Early Bird Breakfast Club in The Fort eh. Anyway, I'll be providing a recipe for this dish, which turned out to be the king's favorite. Akala ko pa nga he was being sarcastic when he requested for this. Yung feeling na ito lang ang na-prepare ko for him. Hehe. Yun pala, bet niya talaga. So here na, malay mo magustuhan din ng hubster mo ang itlog dish na ito. :)


Ingredients:

omelette
- 4 medium-sized eggs
- 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 big potato, cut into cubes
- salt & pepper
- oregano 


for potato fries
- 2 big potatoes perfect for french fries
- cumin
- ground basil
- iodized salt

Procedure:

1. Whisk the eggs in a bowl. Don't overdo it kasi we're not doing scrambled eggs naman. We really do not want it fluffy. Season it with salt & pepper. I added a bit of ground oregano.

2. Fry the cubed potatoes first in kawali with cooking oil. I don't have a non-stick pan so it was a challenge for me to create a well-cooked omelette. Look at the photo above, half lang. Kasi yung half nyan, wasak. Hehe. Set aside the fried cubed potatoes.

3. Put the butter in the kawali. Always remember to add a teaspoon of oil para hindi masunog ang butter. 

4. Pour in the eggs in the kawali. Make sure na sakop nito ang all possible spaces ng circumference of the kawali. So tilt it slightly.

5. Put the fried cubed potatoes. Then quickly add the grated cheese on the same side of the potatoes. Medyo magmadali ka, dahil bukod sa gutom na asawa mo at ang mga bata, baka maluto na ang egg hanggang sa ibabaw. So better talaga 'pag prepared na lahat ng ingredients before cooking. Para mukhang cooking show ni Nigella Lawson ang peg. Chos.


6. Tapos using a spatula or sanse, fold the egg. Basta, takpan mo yung side na may potato and cheese. I'm not a recipe-writer talaga, anuber.

7. Then baligtarin mo ang omelette. Pag nasira, hindi ko kasalanan ha. Be careful lang, mother. Or let's buy na a non-stick pan. Next na yan sa bibilhin ko. May nakita akong pink sa SM eh. :)

8. For the potato fries, siyempre fry it, as usual. Then put it in a canister or anything na may takip. Kasi you will make alog that one with a dash of cumin, ground basil and salt. Hiluhin mo sila together.

9. Plate it and serve. Perfect with sinangag and the one you love. Charot.
