French Toast Omelette

I threw up on my first try. This version should be okay though. Haha.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• 4 Eggs
• 1/4 Teaspoon of Cumin
• 1/4 Teaspoon of Turmeric
• 1/4 Teaspoon of Cayenne Pepper
• 2 Tablespoon of Lemon Pepper
• Garlic Salt to taste
• Slice of Bread of Choice (Images use a Blueberry Streusel Bread)

In a large bowl, mix eggs, cumin, turmeric and cayenne pepper together.

Custard for French Toast

Once the mixture is homogeneous, dip and soak bread in the mixture.

The Streusel bread makes it sweet and savory!

In a lightly oiled pan, pan fry the French toast.

Pan Fried French Toast

As the French toast fries, add the remaining seasonings and mix again.

Omelette Mixture

Once the French toast is golden brown on both sides, plate and cool. Pour a ladle of the egg mixture in a Japanese tamagoyaki pan. As the first layer of the egg omelette solidifies, add the French toast.

Making the Omelette

Roll the omelette and add more egg mixture. Refer to this video if you are not familiar with using a tamagoyaki pan. Continue rolling the omelette until the egg mixture is used up.

Roll until there is nothing left to roll

Allow the omelette to sit the pan for a few minutes on low heat. Brown the omelette each side.

I cut it in half to make it easier to eat

I was asked by a friend to make a savory French Toast recipe. However I didn’t want to just remove the sugar and add various seasonings.

I decided to tackle the request in a more abstract way. French Toast is usually some combination of eggs, bread and sugar. Since I used Streusel bread, all I needed to do was find a way to combine eggs and bread that was still French Toast but not.

Since the goal was to make a savory dish, I wanted to also be able to eat it with rice. So I settled with an omelette as I could throw it on top of a bowl of white rice.

I think the recipe sits at a weird 5/10 for me. I don’t know if people put cumin or turmeric in their omelettes, but it was definitely overpowering for me. The saving grace was the sweetness of the Streusel bread. The sweetness really helped tone down the intense flavors coming from the omelette.

If you’re wondering why I threw up the first time, it is because I had initially added 1/4 cup of butter to the pan for the French Toast. This made the sugar on the Streusel bread burn. In my laziness, I used this burnt French Toast in my first omelette and couldn’t keep it down later that night.

Spicy Bacon Hash-brownies

I’m back. I’ve been trying to figure how to be a better chef. I’ve spent some times learning how to make noodles from scratch and trying to follow recipes. I am certain that this recipe is proof of my improvement.

Here’s what you will need:

• 3 – 4 Slices of Bacon
• Shredded Hash-browns
• Cayenne Pepper
• 1 Box of Trader Joe’s Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Brownie Mix
• 1 Egg
• 1/4 Cup of Olive Oil
• 1/4 Cup of Water

Start by dicing the slices of bacon. Then, in a heated pan, fry bits of bacon to desired crispiness.

Remove bacon from pan while retaining the oil. Pan-fry the shredded hash-browns until roughly golden brown.

While pan-frying the hash-browns, prepare brownie batter. In a bowl, add eggs, water, oil and cayenne pepper. Thoroughly mix the ingredients.

Once thoroughly mixed, add the batter to a oiled baking pan. Bake at 325 degree Fahrenheit or roughly 163 degrees Celsius for 40 minutes.

Bake in oven

After 40 minutes, remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Cut out out slices.

This recipe turned out interestingly. The hash-browns definitely lost their crunch after baking. Though they did give the brownie an unique chewy yet firm texture. The bacon bits added a nice saltiness. Yet it was the cayenne pepper that brought the whole dish together. 

I rate this recipe somewhere between a 5 to 8 out of 10. There were definitely moments where the flavors confused me.

Prairie Oyster

I noticed that none of my recipes so far have been purely breakfast items. This will be my first true breakfast recipe. Note that this recipe contains optional prep work that can be done 8-12 hours beforehand. While optional, I argue that this prep work is fundamental.

Here’s what you will need:

• 1 Egg
• 1 Tablespoon of Tomato Juice (Can be substituted with V8)
• 1 Teaspoon of BBQ Sauce
• Sriracha Hot Sauce
• Ground Black Pepper
• Furikake Seasoning with Bonito Flakes

Prairie Oysters are intended to be hangover cures. The first and optional step is to get a hangover to be cured. This blog does not condone under aged drinking and driving under the influence. Please practice caution when consuming alcohol.

The next step is to separate the egg yolk from the egg and place it in a cup. Be careful not to break the egg yolk.

Broken Egg Yolk

Add in tomato juice.

Finally, add in BBQ sauce, desired amount of sriracha, black pepper and furikake.

Add in other ingredients

Consume the mixture in its entirety with one gulp.

I could honestly see myself consuming this on a normal day for breakfast. The bonito flakes left an interesting aftertaste. I imagine that if my egg yolk was not broken, the texture of the dish would resemble that of an oyster. After consuming this, I felt a sense of mental clarity. Almost as if I have not been awake for a long time. I give this a undeniable 10/10.
