Maybe I’m dating myself a bit, but I remember a famous commercial with the tagline “The Incredible Edible Egg!” » on television when I was young, probably to encourage consumers to buy more eggs, victims of the great cholesterol scare of the late 70s. The tide has definitely turned and eggs have now become one of the healthiest, most versatile foods you can eat. And one of the favorite ways to cook them across cultures is as an omelet: gloriously pale, gently rolled and inverted on a plate à la France; lightly browned and folded over a generous filling in a nod to America; enclose creamy olive-oiled potatoes and onions in a Spanish tortilla; placed on ketchup-seasoned Japanese fried rice like a soft blanket; or fried until golden, puffy and crispy on the edges Thai style. Whatever your cravings, these omelet recipes are sure to inspire you to crack a few eggs.
