Omelet is an easy-to-cook dish that is often prepared for breakfast, as it is healthy, tasty and does not require much cooking time. But with the classic way of cooking in a pan, an omelet is obtained with a crust, which not everyone loves. Therefore, many people like the omelet in the microwave, which can be prepared simply and quickly.
The main condition for successful cooking in this case is correctly selected dishes. So, for 1 egg you need to take a plate or a mold suitable for use in a microwave oven, the diameter of which is not less than 8 cm.
So how to make an omelet in the microwave? The recipe for cooking this dish in a microwave oven differs little from the traditional one. For 4 eggs, we need 5 tablespoons of milk, about 20 grams of butter, salt to taste. Melt the butter in a small bowl of a suitable diameter. Then we take it out of the oven and distribute the oil along the bottom and walls with a silicone brush. We need to ensure that the entire surface of the dishes is lubricated evenly. Now we take another bowl, break the eggs there, beat them lightly, salt, pepper if desired, add milk. It should be noted that in France, which is considered the birthplace of omelet, it is customary to beat the egg mixture for this dish exclusively with a fork. French chefs do not recognize the whisk and, especially, the mixer.
Pour the omelette mixture into the prepared dishes and put it in the oven at full capacity. We closely monitor the state of our omelet. As soon as the edges of the mass thicken (usually this happens after 1-2 minutes of cooking), click on the break. We pay attention to the shape and raise the edges of the omelet with a silicone or wooden spatula so that the liquid in the glass that does not have time to thicken is at the bottom. Put the form back and bake another 1-2 minutes. We turn off the oven and leave the omelet in the chamber for a couple of minutes, so that it “reaches”. Our classic microwave omelet is ready. You can serve it by folding it in half and sprinkling with finely chopped parsley or grated cheese.
Omelet in the microwave can be prepared not only natural, but also with various additives. To do this, add pieces of finely chopped sausage, mushrooms or vegetables to the omelette mixture.
And if time allows, then you can make a more complex version of this dish. Let’s tell you how to cook Italian omelette in the microwave. To do this, cut the onion and one pod of red bell pepper in small pieces, add a couple of tablespoons of olive oil to the vegetables and put in the oven, covering with a lid, for 4 minutes. In the meantime, peel 300 grams of potatoes and 150 grams of zucchini and three of these vegetables on a coarse grater. We transfer the grated vegetables to the dishes for pepper and onion, pour in the same 60 grams of canned corn or peas (you can take the mixture). And again we set at full power under the lid for 8 minutes. From time to time, vegetables should be mixed.
While the vegetable filling is stewed, beat 6 eggs with salt and pepper, add about 50 grams of grated cheese to them. Pour the prepared vegetables with egg mixture and cook without a lid, setting the average power, for 6 minutes. Then sprinkle with grated cheese on top (about 50 grams will be needed) and leave in the oven chamber for three minutes. Before serving, cut the omelet into portions and sprinkle with herbs.
On the basis of the recipe "Omelet in the microwave" you can cook a savory snack. To do this, mix a spoonful of flour with four tablespoons of milk so that the mass is without lumps. Then beat 4 eggs and add milk and flour to them. Do not forget to salt and put finely chopped greens into the mixture. We pour the prepared mass into the greased dishes, bake for 2-3 minutes and leave in the oven until completely thickened. Then we cut the finished omelet into two parts and turn it green down. Lay out slices of ham and cheese on the omelet layer, roll it up and fix the edges with toothpicks. We put the prepared rolls in the microwave and bake for thirty seconds, so that the cheese begins to melt. Cool our rolls a little and cut them into pieces. This appetizer can be eaten hot or cold, garnished with herbs and fresh vegetables.
