question for the chefs around here

[Buddy_Christ]

i can't remember the name of these type of eggs. it's when you take a heavy pan, put scrambled eggs in there. as they start to cook on the edges, you use a spatula to pull the cooked parts back to the middle of the pan. after it's built up in the middle a bit and you don't have much more room to pull the eggs back (but there's still raw egg), you throw it in the oven for a little while and it poofs up.

what's it called?

 

[SoreArms]

[Buddy_Christ]

Yeah, but you live in a country where they do not speak proper English. You call a french fry a chip.

and they drive on the wrong side of the road.

Yeah, the steering wheel is on the wrong side of the car.

Tuc, what do you guys call a steak there? I might need to know that if I ever go to England.

 

[tuc biscuit]

you wouldn't like the steaks here, it is mans food, best if you steer clear

 

[Deleted member 33117]

I eat steak every day, but we know how steak is done in Texas.

 

[TheProject]

Probably a frittata....."In a frittata (or tortilla in Spain) the filling is mixed with the eggs and the whole mixture is cooked slowly in a skillet until set, then quickly browned under the broiler) -- New Basics cookbook

A strata has bread in it and a quiche has a crust....

but it's not put in the broiler, it's put in the oven.

close though.

where's Chef_Wide?

The broiler is part of the oven.....

Anyway, a frittata doesn't have to be finished under the broiler....

However, you are probably thinking of a baked omelette or an egg "puff"

This was on food network a while back..
Specifically on the show GOOD EATS (my fav) where he showed
how to make a proper French Omm vs this thing in the oven..

I think it was referred to as some Italian Style egg dish deal but don't
remember the name Alton used..

frittata

Definition: [frih-TAH-tuh] An Italian omelet that usually has the ingredients mixed with the eggs rather than being folded inside, as with a French omelet. It can be flipped or the top can be finished under a broiling unit. An omelet is cooked quickly over moderately high heat and, after folding, has a flat-sided half-oval shape. A frittata is firmer because it's cooked very slowly over low heat, and round because it isn't folded.

Takes a few Seconds to load the page..

6 eggs, beaten
1-ounce Parmesan, grated
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Pinch salt
1 teaspoon butter
1/2 cup chopped roasted asparagus
1/2 cup chopped country ham
1 tablespoon chopped parsley leaves


Preheat oven to broil setting.
In medium size bowl, using a fork, blend together eggs, Parmesan, pepper, and salt. Heat 12-inch non-stick, oven safe saute pan over medium high heat. Add butter to pan and melt. Add asparagus and ham to pan and saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Pour egg mixture into pan and stir with rubber spatula. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until the egg mixture has set on the bottom and begins to set up on top. Sprinkle with parsley.

Place pan into oven and broil for 3 to 4 minutes, until lightly browned and fluffy. Remove from pan and cut into 6 servings. Serve immediately.

whoa, this whole time I've been making/eating frittatas (minus the oven step) and I've been calling them omeletes. Insane!

 

[ChefWide]

Y has the answers, and the tingle.

 

[Y_lifter]

Omelete = Fold
Frittatas = No fold

Broiler Oven step just heats/melts the toppings better

If you say friTATAS, they may think you are subconciously complimenting their breasts.. and be either impressed or turned on..

either way, most women love it when a man can cook
