The Egg Guy’s 40 Second Omelette

Gluten Free

MethodBeat eggs and water together until blended, adding salt and pepper to taste. In a 26cm non stick pan, heat butter or margarine until it sizzles – but not burnt.

Pour in egg mixture. With an inverted spatula, pull the cooked portions of egg from the perimeter of the pan to the centre so any uncooked egg can run into the cleared hot pan surface, tilting the pan and moving it as necessary to keep the egg shaped round on the bottom of the pan as you go. A bit like digging a hole, and then tipping the pan to fill it with the runny egg mixture.

Do this until the egg is set and will not flow, but is still wet on top (should take about 20 seconds). Don’t cook it until it’s dry! The moist egg will finish cooking when the omelette is folded over.

Sprinkle all of the filling on one side. Slide the spatula all the way under the unfilled side of the omelette up to the centre of it. Fold the unfilled side entirely over the filled side.

Holding the pan in your right hand and a plate in your left, invert the pan so omelette falls upside down onto the plate. Garnish to serve.

IngredIents• 2 Eggs per person• 1 Tbsp butter or margarine• 2 Tbsp of water• ¼ – ½ Cup filling of your choice• Salt and pepper

MethodClean lettuce thoroughly and wrap in paper towels to absorb moisture. Refrigerate until crisp, at least 1 hour or more. In a bowl or jar combine oil, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, mustard, garlic and lemon juice. Whisk until well blended.

Coddle egg by heating 3 cups of water to boiling. Drop in egg (still in shell) and let stand for 1 minute. Remove egg from water and let cool. Once cooled crack open and whisk egg into dressing until thoroughly blended.

Mash desired amount of anchovies and whisk them into the dressing. If desired set aside a few to garnish.

To assemble, place torn lettuce leaves into a large bowl. Pour dressing owver the top and toss lightly. Add the grated cheese, croutons, tomatoes, and freshly ground pepper. Toss lightly.

Optional: You can also add a freshly poached runny egg on top – for extra taste and visual appearance.

Serve immediately.

MethodThe Hollandaise sauce:

This is really simple and can be made the night before.

Place egg yolks, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a blender or processer and process until pale and smooth. Tilt the processor to increase the depth of the liquid, allowing the blades to really beat or whisk the mixture so it coagulates. Propping a book or chopping board under one edge works well. Very slowly pour in the melted butter while motor is running. The mixture should remain thick and pale. Gently reheat in a bowl set over simmering water.

To assemble:

Simply grill, fry or microwave the bacon rashers, toast the muffins and poach the eggs.

Place the bacon on to a toasted muffin, top with a poached egg, add a spoonful of Hollandaise and a grind of black pepper.

MethodBacon & Egg Pie is an easy to make, real kiwi classic. Great for lunches, brunches, dinner or a picnic. A 20.5 x 20.5cm cake pan, or a round 23cm metal pie dish is ideal.

Preheat oven to 200° C. Roll out two thirds of the pastry on a floury bench to line a shallow greased 23cm pie tin. Scatter over spring onion and half of the bacon, break in the eggs and season, then scatter on the remaining bacon.

Roll out the remaining pastry to make a lid. Crimp the pastry edges together with your fingers and trim off any excess. Use the trimmings to decorate the pie if you wish (attach these with a dab of egg wash). Cut four small vents in the pastry lid with a sharp knife. Brush with beaten egg mix and bake 35 – 40 minutes until rich golden brown and crispy. Serve warm – or cold.

MethodPreheat the grill. Place the prepared potatoes in a saucepan of cold water, bring to the boil and simmer for 3 minutes. Break the eggs into a bowl, season with salt and pepper and whisk well with a fork to mix. While the potatoes are cooking, grill the sausages, bacon and tomatoes. Drain potatoes and return to the heat for a minute to dry out. When the bacon is cooked cut into chunks. Heat the oil in a large frying pan and cook the potatoes until golden.

When the sausages are cooked, slice diagonally into chunks and add to the pan with potatoes. Stir in the spring onions and continue cooking for a few minutes until the potatoes are well cooked. Reduce heat and pour in the eggs.

Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently scramble the eggs and when set, pile the sausage scramble onto warm plates, add grilled tomatoes and top with crispy bacon to serve, with fresh chopped parsley on top.

MethodMix 4 eggs and 4 tablespoons milk in a bowl with a pinch of cinnamon. Mix well. Cut 6 – 8 thick toast slices of bread – these can then be cut into halves or triangles if you wish. Heat a little margarine in a non–stick frying pan over a medium heat. Dip bread one piece at a time into the egg and milk mixture. Coat both sides well.

Put coated bread into fry pan and cook for 2 – 3 minutes on each side – or until golden. You should be able to cook 2 – 4 pieces at a time depending on the size of your pan.

Repeat with remaining slices of bread (add a little more of the margarine if needed between batches). Serve warm with fresh or tinned fruit and a spoon of yoghurt, or with sliced banana and runny honey. For a special treat, serve with sliced banana and lean bacon.

MethodPut eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water, place on the element and heat until the water starts to boil.

Leave the pot on the stove but turn the element off.

Set the timer and cook until they’re just the way you like them; As a guide, 3 – 4 minutes for runny eggs, 5 – 6 minutes for soft eggs, and 8 – 9 minutes for hard boiled eggs.

Remove runny eggs from the water with a slotted spoon and serve in egg cups with toast.

Serve hard boiled eggs by draining the water from the eggs and cooling the eggs quickly under cold running water. Crack the eggs all over and peel in the saucepan or under running water.

For salads it is personal taste... some like them slightly runny, or hard.

They can be stored in the fridge for a few days in their shells once cooked and to be used when required.

Notes:

Cooling the eggs quickly stops them from over-cooking and prevents a grey ring appearing round the yolk.

MethodSpray the inside of a Wok or large frying pan with cooking spray.

Heat a teaspoon of the sesame oil. Break eggs into a bowl and whisk lightly.

When oil is hot, pour eggs into the pan, tipping it to spread them out into a thin pancake. Cook until set then lift out pancake, roll up and set aside.

Add another few drops of oil to the pan and add the meat. Stir fry till cooked then add some more oil and the rice.

Stir frequently, being sure to scrape the base of the pan to prevent sticking. When the rice is starting to crisp a little mix in the soy sauce, salt and stock and continue to cook.Add the vegetables and continue to stir fry until they are piping hot.

Finely slice the egg pancake and scatter into the pan. Serve.Cooks tip:

To prevent overcooking if using shrimps or seafood, cook lightly first then remove from pan, returning them to the mixture just before serving. Leftover rice freezes well so keep some in the freezer to make this easy dish.By Sophie Gray

MethodGrease a 24 cm pie dish.Slice the lemons as thinly as possible.Place the lemons into a bowl (not metal) and add the sugar.Soak the lemon slices in the sugar for two hours or overnight, stirring from time to time.

The sugar will draw the juice out of the lemons creating a thick syrupy mixture.

While the lemons are macerating in the sugar make the pastry.

Rub the butter into flour with your fingertips till it resembles fine breadcrumbs (or whizz it in the food processor), add the salt, then add just enough cold water to form a dough.Dust a little flour onto the bench and roll the dough and line the prepared tin.

Pop it into the freezer for 10 minutes to chill.Beat the eggs with the tablespoon of flour until pale and fluffy and stir in the melted butter. Process the sugar and lemon slices until the lemon is very finely chopped and stir the sugary mix into the beaten eggs.

The eggs and sugar will form a zesty curd while cooking.Pour into the prepared pastry shell and bake at 180°C for 40 – 50 minutes or until filling is no longer wobbly.It will continue to firm as it cools. Serve dusted with icing sugar.

MethodPreheat oven to 190°C.

Butter 6 individual ramekins (you can use coffe mugs) and sprinkle with sugar. This gives the souffle a surface to climb up.

Melt chocolate pieces in a metal bowl over gently simmering water. Stir constantly (Overheated chocolate will ruin a recipe). Once the chocolate is melted, remove the bowl from heat and stir in the egg yolks.

In a separate bowl, beat egg whites with salt on medium speed until they hold soft glossy peaks. Continue beating egg whites on high speed, gradually adding the remaining 1/3 cup sugar, until the egg whites hold stiff glossy peaks.

Gently stir 1/3 of the eggs whites into the chocolate mixture, then carefully fold in the remaining egg whites.

The chocolate mixture should be light and bubbly, and evenly coloured, without egg white streaks.

Spoon your soufflé mixture into the prepared ramekins Bake for 12 – 15 minutes until risen with a crusty exterior.

Serve with a dusting of cocoa or castor sugar if desired.
